The subs - and the timing of them - is quite perplexing. The high press has worked very well tonight. Sadlier is miles better out of possession than Campbell, which was suiting us very nicely. Why’s Campbell given a free pass tonight again? Disappointing. We deserve at least a point based on the first 60 mins. I agree that I’d have brought Kone on first ahead of Vokes.
In classic gasroom tradition, I hope to be proved wrong. But we can’t press high anymore, we can’t even get the ball in their half. I’m confident that the subs have killed any chance we had. Even Phil and Tim have noticed that Vokes is playing in slow motion. Funny that you haven’t.
FWIW I really like Vokes, in the right system. We won on Saturday in most part because we pressed high, and for 60 minutes of this game we looked the better team because we pressed high. Vokes is not built for that game.

lol. Yeah. I was typing as he was twisting and turning. Imagined him banging a beaut right on cue. Of course, he didn’t.
Sadly those subs seem to have really killed any momentum we had.
After that baffling double sub I’d be amazed if we got anything out of this. Might put a movie on.
Ahhh that's the chance, Taylor had to score. One of those nights I think.
It is so disappointing to see the decisions made so far. Mind you, if we had our shooting boots on we would be winning anyway.
Yes agree, I’m a great believer in the likelihood of us being a better team with 11 players on the pitch rather than 10.
The Campbell conspiracy theorists can stand down again.
oh Taylor....you need to hit the target....Blooms why have you not bought on Kone ??! boring sub bringing his mate on
It's gone as flat as a........
Campbell off gives us a glimmer of hope, but as long as Vokes is playing walking football we’re just inviting Bolton pressure. This game is over.
We've created some really good chances, but just haven't taken them
May I suggest Clueless?
You really do dislike Vokes.
What just because he was substituted?
As opposed to him being picked in the first place and then kept on the pitch when Sadlier was taken off.
No, not sure about that old boy.
Hope we haven't given up winning games for Lent.
Only 8 points between 13th place and the bottom 4. It's going to be a hell of a scrap for half of the division.
Show me the contract.
Has Vokes taken a knock? Get him back off the pitch if he has.

For God’s sake get Kone on
Vokes has been absolutely rubbish. Far worse than Campbell was. I like Vokes but he has been incredibly inconsistent in recent months.

Replacing Dale Taylor?!
Baffling subs today. As above, our high press and high tempo was creating bags of chances but we’ve just abandoned it with the substitutions.
Mansfield winning 9-2, wow.
Yet @eric_plant thinks anyone who can see that is clueless.
If we're doing Bloomfield OUT in a few weeks time perhaps we can have some people saying they want Clough as our manager
Is he talking about all the places he's been with TMS? That's usually what he does.
'Watching on bbc live text on train...looks like Butcher had a good game.
