Hull City won on their return to the Championship with a fine 4-1 away win at Preston but it could be in jeopardy because they used 4 substitutes rule change this summer brought it back to 7 named and only 3 used what's going on?
 
Just ran through Saturday,s fixtures in the Championship and Stoke made 4 changes as well can someone on here clarify the rules on this.

3 substitutes can be made during the game. (same as Pre-covid)
There is now also something called 'concussion substitutes.' - can make a max of 2 per game in addition to the 3 standard subs. Team doctor has to make recommendation for player to come off and dialogue must include 4th official with opposing team made aware that it is a concussion sub. Presume this ties in with the new rules for heading in training.
 
on the subject of subs, I was confused at the game yesterday.....

Ipswich player went down injured after a challenge, play continued so no foul etc, stayed down for a bit of time. Ipswich didn't put the ball out of play, ball ends up safely in Trafford's hands. Ref stops play to allow player to be treated. All funky dory, however the referee then allows the injured player to be substituted, a new player enters the field and play continues from Trafford. Never seen that before.

How did the ball end up in Trafford's hands - all the way from Ipswich to Wycombe?? That's some kick :)

sounds fine to me. however i did not see the incident so its hard to comment on it. better than the stupid time wasting dropping of the ball for it being tapped back to the keeper to restart the game.
