Yep, I thought the subs were quite late. Great we have game changing subs though.
Was listening to the away commentary and they said the same thing.

As long as we win on Tuesday that point yesterday was a good result lose on Tuesday and then 2 points out of 12 really doesn’t look great for a team hoping to make the play offsWell done on battling for the point, we can't win every week.
Up the U's!
I think part of the problem is the amount of time it takes to actually get them on the pitch.
Once Robbo decides to make the changes, it takes 5-10 mins for them to get themselves ready, then to have their gps monitors set up and put on.
I don't understand why they can't already be suited and booted, and ready to go if called upon, from the start.
Let's be honest, if Taylor had gone in two footed like that anywhere else on the pitch, it would've been a straight red!
But goalkeepers are red carded for handling outside the area so a yellow yesterday after their keeper brought down Dan was the wrong colour card.
I agree, he takes too long to change things, but then when he finally decides to change things, it takes forever to actually get them on the pitch, due to the amount of faffing involved.MK dons bought Jerome and Grigg on way before our triple change so that excuse isn't valid.
Robbo relies too much of the players already on the pitch changing their fortunes and that's his downfall.
Not goalscoring? With one or two touches inside he would have had an empty net to roll the ball into.Only from highlights, I don't think it was a Red for stopping a goalscoring opportunity as Agyei was going to wide. But I do think there is a very good argument for a Red Card for a dangerous tackle as the keeper was so late with the ball gone and he had no control over the challenge which could easily have injured Agyei.
Still a red card offence remeber Easty handled outside the area and was sent of her brought down Agyei if hadn’t there is a very good possibility that Agyei would got to tha hall and scored.Only from highlights, I don't think it was a Red for stopping a goalscoring opportunity as Agyei was going to wide.

Love how you can clearly hear someone yell 'you lucky bastard' at the Taylor charge down
Dry your eyes...Once would be nice at the moment.
Not to mention that the only reason Agyei has to take a heavy touch is because there's a goalkeeper about to fly in with a late challenge..Not goalscoring? With one or two touches inside he would have had an empty net to roll the ball into.
We got lucky that Winnall had to go off because otherwise Agyei would’ve been farmed out onto the left wing where he can’t play, and he wouldn’t have been in the position to get the foul off the keeper, or get on the end of crosses into the box, both in terms of forcing a good save from and then getting the knock down for the equaliser. His presence pinned MK back - he made them drop deep and stopped them pushing forward because they knew there was a threat. Their centre back Harry Darling looked like Maldini all game, and then he spent 15 minutes worrying about Agyei and looked average. The plan was for Winnall to be there and Agyei to be on the wide left, with no idea what to do and not being able to track back because he has no idea how to mark an attacking full back. It was a lucky break, although it occurring at the expense of a player getting injured makes the word ‘lucky’ feel a bit off.Maybe if Agyei has been brought in earlier we may have scored another but until he came on we didn’t look like we could hit a barn door
The uncanny thing is that if we have to get someone on quick due to an injury it happens within a couple of minutes!!I agree, he takes too long to change things, but then when he finally decides to change things, it takes forever to actually get them on the pitch, due to the amount of faffing involved.
All subs, underneath their tracksuits, should be in full kit, including shin pads, and already wearing their gps vests, and ready to go at a moments notice, then maybe, coupled with earlier decision making from Robbo, we could make changes quicker, instead of deciding on 65 mins what changes he wants to make, but then not actually getting them on the pitch until 75mins.
I can also see why agyei being brought down could be seen to be not a red, as it happened quite a way out, agyei was heading out to the corner of the area so would still have had quite a bit to do which would have allowed the defender to get back.
I agree about the cross. When he hit I thought B*****s that’s too high and too long, but it was spot on.Personally think Antony Forde is being criminally under used. Deserves a run of games in midfield in my opinion, never really has a bad game. Like Sam Long and Josh Ruffels in previous seasons his versatility has stopped him from cementing down a spot. In the games against both Portsmouth and Mk dons he’s came on and it seems like we’ve just had a flurry of good chances. Not a better crosser of the ball in the team absolute peach of a cross he put in for Agyei to set up Lee yesterday.
