ANDONI Iraola felt all of his substitutes helped Cherries to salvage a point at home to Sheffield United in a 2-2 draw.
The Basque boss used all five available subs, with Dango Ouattara and Enes Unal stepping off the bench to grab goals and snatch a point from the Blades.
Ouattara replaced Milos Kerkez at left-back during the half-time interval, pulling one back before setting up Unal for the equaliser.
Winger Luis Sinisterra also made an impact after being brought on to replace Marcus Tavernier, whilst Iraola was pleased with the contributions of midfielders Alex Scott and Phil Billing.
Discussing the subs, Iraola shared with the Daily Echo:
“I think every sub we made gave us a lot of energy.
“I think we were being dangerous through the outside, especially in the second half with Dango and Sini (Luis Sinisterra), Adam (Smith) then Lew (Lewis Cook), and Ant (Antoine Semenyo) on the other side.
“We were giving chances to our forwards to fight for the crosses for the shots from the edge.
“It just had to be with two set pieces or second phases.
“But we were there all the time and we had, I don't know how many shots, but for sure we had a lot.”
