Not gonna lie it threw me off a bit seeing Mitchell coming on after Keogh, Sterling and Lavery had already come on.

Assume that was due to a head injury being the reason for one of the Huddersfield substitutions.

I hadn't realised we had introduced concussions subs let alone evening it up when one team makes one.
 
I was under the impression the concussion sub, where both teams get an extra sub, only came in if you had already made 3 subs. Don’t know if this isn’t the rule or if the officials cocked up today.

Just checked. Quite surprisingly there isn’t that much information but the rule seems to be

“The opposing team is also allowed to make an additional substitution if a concussion substitute comes on to avoid one side gaining an advantage through fresher legs”

Even for the EFL that is fantastically vague!!
 
I thought it was a reintroduction of the Covid 5 sub rule.

Edit I'd never heard about concussion subs, but just googled it. Every day's a school day 🙄
 
Because of this, I thought he might have brought on Sterling for Gabriel at half-time. It was a free substitution.
 
I've looked at the sending off from 2 angles & the TV version that the ref probably saw from his positioning, certainly looked the worst. But watching the fan footage from our end shows Gabriel stopped & did not follow through & their players theatrics conned the ref. I will be right behind Gabriel when he returns.
 
There's a suggestion on Facebook that we were only allowed our 4th after they made their 4th on 79 mins.
 
Regulation 33.4.2
In addition to the three substitutions permitted by Regulation 33.4.1, each Club shall also be permitted to utilise up to two ‘concussion substitutes’ and/or two ‘additional substitutes’ (as appropriate) from those substitutes listed on the Team Sheet, strictly in accordance with the provisions of the International Football Association Board’s ‘Additional permanent concussion substitutes – Protocol B’ (‘IFAB Protocol’)

IFAB Protocol B

When a “concussion substitute” is used, the opposing team then has the option to use an “additional” substitute for any reason.

This option may be used concurrently with the “concussion substitution” made by the opposing team or at any time thereafter (except as outlined otherwise by the Laws of the Game).



So my reading is that a concussion substitute can be used at any time when concussion is suspected, and the additional substitute can be used at any point after that.

Why can’t we have 11 subs then if we are losing by half time we can sub them all off for a fresh team in the second half😂👍
