Aribo Not been great neither, a game is Not won after 55 Minutes. This is Not a game of Kids, where everyone should get a lot of Minutes... [Post edited 9 Mar 16:38]

I agree Rothwell saved the day with his brace just after he came on (73 mins), but I didn't see the need to take Smallbone and Brooks off so early (58 mins), when we were in total control. It just seemed like change for the sake of change and disrupted the rhythm of the team. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Badly timed subs almost cost us big time Why take Brooks off so early? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Saints v Sunderland Matchday Thread... on 04:01 - Mar 10 with 1372 views | Ripleys_revenge | Very bizarre game, happy with the win of course but alarm bells continue to ring despite Martins promises not to over complicate things and let the players go back to playing on “feel”…agree that Stephens coming in has upset the balance at the back, and I feel as soon as Bree came on yesterday we immediately looked much more comfortable as THB and bednarek partnered up again in the middle. I felt we didn’t actually play that well in the first half, although should have scored more than we did. Sunderland were indeed truly awful. We were lucky to have played them without Clarke, he would have annihilated our out of shape defence yesterday. Second half seemed like more of the same self inflicted idiocy. Lost count of the number of times we have them the ball in the final third. I feel there is a complacency that sets in at a certain point in many games. The players start cruising - for all the debate about Stephens’s presence in the team, shouldn’t he be the one to make sure this doesn’t happen and we keep our foot on the oppositions throat a little more? Finally f@ck me sulemana is frustrating isn’t he. Skins his man every time, approaches box, cuts inside, scuffs shot. Repeat | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes everyone in the pub was saying the same thing. The subs were subs for subs sake , Why take Brooks off ? Sulemana is even more frustrating than Redmond, bags of talent but no end product. Fair play to Rothwell for saving the day . | ![](/images/avatars/2020.gif) |
