To anyone who doubts the the whole value of substitutes, here's a little reminder of what happened when we met Shrewsbury at the Wham earlier this season;
When Sam Ricketts (football genius?) made 2 substitutions on 79 minutes, it changed the game.
Within 10 minutes, both Udoh & Okenabirhie had scored the goals to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat
Well, Sam Ricketts did it again tonight in the FA Cup.
2-0 down against the World Champions & runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool, they looked down & out.
With 30 minutes left, Ricketts sends on Cummings & wham bam!.... jackpot replay at Anfield.
I rest my case.
