Limited options on the bench? Stubborn manager?
Our substitutions (when/if we make them) are having a very low impact on changing results. Is it a combination of not having players that can give something different and not bringing players on early enough that they can get in to the game?
Made a quick summary of the subs we've made so far in the league and in europe

Not being able to utilise the full squad feels like a massive red flag at the moment
