I can only presume that should have read “the visitors”.
So, my query is why, if you can make a sixth sub after a concussion, did Stanley not bring someone on after Tharme was stretchered off against Lincoln? Did we simply not have a sixth sub that day?

Yes we had a 6th sub available but suspect in the chaios of the day and the scoreline in the 90th minute we choose not to use that option. IF you use a concussion sub the opposition can also make an additional sub. If you use a cooncussion sub there is a lot of additional external protocols to follow on the medical side of things.
As we didn't use the option Doug's return is in the hands of of medical teams hands. We and Doug choose when he's ready to return
