Pivot Interchanges

As a tactic in the right circumstances then it should work, but he does like a change on the 20 min mark doesn't he?

And what coach doesn't? Maybe, just maybe there's a bit of sports science involved!! I'll start a new thread and we can track substitutions by different coaches and tat what time in the games. Could be interesting.

Unless you know what was going on in the all the games at the time as in which team was on top, has someone just taken a heavy knock etc it's not going to tell you much. The accusation levied against Wane is he subs by the clock regardless of what is going on or who is tired.

Done properly, more detail could probably be picked up to cover some of those things that may not be obvious to someone not watching the game. It would be interesting to find out all the teams substitution habits.

I agree with at least 3 of the 4 interchanges in the first half of games at least Wane seems to be one for habit regardless of game circumstances. Be interesting to see (a) if that's true (b) if it's the same as others, and (c) if it continues to happen.

I would be interested to see the results of that, to me it is something many coaches do, I think Mick Potter? with the fearsome foursome at Bradford was amongst the first to do it regularly, but from a sports science point of view, surely each player is an individual and they are tracked these days by all sorts of GPS systems etc so different players should be "rested" best at different times.

Matthew Elliott maybe?

Yes that's who it was, thank you
