is there a limit of how many people you can have on the subs bench? i find it odd bullard and bentley were not stripped, he left himself no option but bring beckham on, we all know he is past it but i guess it dosen't really matter against 10 men with a big lead, jenas came on at left midfield so i guess downing was not stripped either Like in the Premiership and Europe you can have 7 subs. The bench the other night was Robinson, Johnson, Upson, Beckham, Jenas, Downing and Defoe. I'd pick Beckham for the bench because he's more likely to change a game, I guess Capello wasn't impressed with Downing so brought Jenas on instead, although it then seems odd as to why he'd pick him anyway... cool cheers, i wasn't sure if it was 7 or 5. good call to bring jenas on then, he only got a 5 in the paper, i was baffled, he set up a goal aswel as the disallowed goal and never put a pass astray

Reading had 7 subs on the bench for the last 2 Carling Cup games, which came as rather a surprise!
