In the match between Gran Forest Wanderers against Wolves on Tuesday night, the team's coach Robbie Savage's move to replace four players in the first minute of the game caused heated discussion. In a subsequent interview with Sky Sports, Savage stressed that their move was in line with the rules.
Savage took this move to bypass the rules of the match, which this rule requires the team to send at least four players who started in the last league game. Although Savage ranked Tom Knowles, Kyle McAllister, Neil Kenny and Abraham Canu as the starting lineup, he replaced them immediately so that they could get a break for the next game of the weekend.
In the end, Gran Forest Wandering won 3-2. Savage confirmed after the game that the players knew his decision before the game, and the four substituted players did not even warm up before the game at all.
Savage said: "It's quite complicated, but it's within the rules. Those players did not warm up, and the players who knew they would be on the bench participated. The four players walked onto the court, and when the ball went out of bounds, they got off, changed clothes and went home."
In the previous match against West Brom U21, Savage also replaced two players early in the game. He emphasized: "The most important thing is that we won the two games. We have seven youth training players in our roster, and we won. We respect the game."
When asked if he would be hit for finding a way to avoid the rules of the game, Savage said that he would not receive a call and emphasized that his team was acting according to the rules, while pointing out that they were not the only team to make early substitutions.
Savage said: "I don't expect to receive a call, it's within the rules of the game and the rules of the game. Don't forget, we won the game. As far as I know, there are 12 National League teams. League) teams played against U21 teams, with 10 NBA teams winning. I believe one team changed three people within 3 minutes of the game and the other two in the first minute. "
"We are focused on because of the club's popularity. I don't expect to receive any calls. We believe this is the right thing for our main players. We participated in this event and wanted to win it, and everything we did was strictly follow the rules."
Savic's coaching starts at the Gran Forest Wanderer in a strong start: winning eight games in 11 games, with 21 points in nine games in the league ranking second.
For Savage, this is another improvement over his coaching of McClersfield, who led the team to upgrade from the English Football Seventh Division Northern Premier League last season.
