Really strong performance all game until we made the substitutions – from the moment Feeney and Elliott replaced Shields and Wilson respectively, we totally lost control of the game. Why ? Simple – neither of them understand the meaning of closing down, tracking back, or pressing the opposition off the ball. To make matters worse, Elliott just does not have a goalscorer’s instinct / talent.Bennett replaced by Daniel and guess what, we totally lost our aerial dominance upfront. Come on JD, it’s not rocket science to coach players on the fundamentals.
These issues aside, best performance I’ve seen from the Iron for months. Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come.
