60' Minute – Tactical Substitutions & Formation Change
The fourth official raised the board.
Three names lit up.
Out: Taylor. Bianchi. Lowe.
In: Silva. Ford. Soro.
No fanfare. No gesturing.
But the bench knew what it meant.
Silva jogged onto the pitch with his jaw locked, eyes already scanning. Ford clapped Bianchi on the back as they crossed paths. Soro came in last—shoulders square, calm as silence.
Jake stood just long enough to speak one line to each:
To Ford:
"Stay flat. Don't chase shadows. Let it come."
To Silva:
"Inside shoulder. No wide dancing. Threaten goal."
To Soro:
"You lead now."
And with that, the match changed shape.
From the press box, the new system was instantly visible—Bradford sliding into a 4–3–3:
Back line: Rojas tucked in as a true right-back, Fletcher and Barnes flanking the center, with Ford wide left—young, fresh legs, asked to do more with less.
