Substitute Players L.28. Subject to Rule L.28A, in any League Match a Club may include in its team sheet up to nine substitute Players of whom not more than three may take part in the League Match subject to the conditions set out in Law 3 of the Laws of the Game.
L.28A. In each League Match in Season 2021/22 to be played on or after such date as is notified by the Board to all Clubs, in addition to the three substitutions permitted by Rule L.28, 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”) and any associated guidance issued by the League. Each Club must also provide the League with such information as is necessary to ensure compliance with the IFAB Protocol.
L.29. Not more than three substitute Players of each Club shall warm up at the same time on the perimeter of a pitch upon which a League Match is being played.
Also from this season the clubs have to hand over the team sheets to the Ref 75 minutes before kick off, which is a change from 60 minutes previously as I understood it.
Whatever we think about transfers, hopefully we give the players that are here are full attention & support. They have done nothing since July 2020 to deserve any less than complete faith & hopefully they can start the season with a positive result today (hopefully a win, but in front of a full house a draw is not a terrible outcome, especially as we lost there last season).
I think the game will suit us. I think we are made to counter & I think, normally, Bruce would be telling his team to let us have the ball & sit deep. But with it being a full house & no doubt the buzz that goes with that & it being an opening game of the season, despite whatever Bruce says, I can see them coming out the blocks & I think if we can get 0-1 up in this we will pose a threat on the break for the remainder of the match. Of course if they come roaring out the blocks & we can’t handle it, that would not be ideal.

On the bench?
Have you got a link, Lukerz? I can only find ones saying that apart from concussion subs, the subbing rules are reverting to the pre-covid format.

It's now as clear as ... something quite muddy.
A bunch of us have a mini-league.
Make sure you keep up good match reports as I won't make out much from my perch up in the gods.

Apart from goalkeepers only LB/CB Paul Dummett out (calf)
