Lord D, who's to say it made no difference?
As Stanley had more possession & more shots on target, it may have ensured Burton didn't lose the game.
Likewise, substituting Diallo & Charles (our scorer) in the 80th minute, may have denied us scoring an injury time winner.
Alternately, it may have ensured we came away with a well earned point.
The whole thing is subjective & depends whether you feel substitutions can influence the outcome.
Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't.
It's a mystery wrapped up in an enigma.
