Historically he was, but modern-day football is a squad game where subs are used to make tactical changes.
They are referred to as on the bench, and have been for years! They might be left out of the starting line up, but they are there to play a part in the game if required.
Hound. I've never disputed that! Sometimes players are more effective coming off the bench. In fact, they are a special bunch who get called 'super-subs'. Jermain Defoe, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Kevin Phillips, David Fairclough to name just a few.Maybe Darren Moore thought Sadlier would benefit the team by coming on and performing as a super-sub? It's easy in hindsight to say on here that he was wrong!
What are you on about? Sadlier WAS left out of the starting X1! He wasn't left out of the game though, he appeared!
Ravenrover. Show me ANYWHERE where I've changed my stance on this topic. Let's see who's the wriggler, eh?
So, if a player is on the bench he isn't left out? Then he doesn't get put on as a sub, is he still not left out or is he left out after the fact?

You also stated that sadlier has reduced our effectiveness when he came on on Saturday which is in complete contracts with everyones else's views, but by then you were in full swing anti Sadlier mode so if the mud sticks sling it lol.
It's hardly just saying 'what is factual' when giving what is only an opinion that we looked much better when Sadlier and Taylor came on. I thought Tayor was running into a brick wall down the wing, and what is a fact is we conceded a goal 3 minutes after Sadlier came on. I'm not saying that was Sadlier's fault, but it hardly suggests we were better after he and Taylor came on. To suggest we were better is just a matter of opinion.
