I've been noticing it a lot lately, today and in the 1-1 draw against Halifax mainly. Subs are there for a reason and 4 minutes + stoppage time isn't enough time to make a significant impact 9 times out of 10.
I feel that a few of our draws in 2018 would have been wins if we used our bench properly too.

It’s all down to lack of experience from Keates. He should have changed it much earlier, but due to maybe unwisely keeping faith with the players on the field or due to simply not having the knowledge and wherewithal to make a positive impact.
It’s absolutely infuriating, but he’s a new manager so we have to give him the chance to learn from his mistakes.
