Possibly starting to see Dean’s thoughts on his first 11.
Only Denton, Boyce and Wilson from the Ilkeston starting 11 in the first half team this evening. Still too sharp for Trinity and while they didn’t create an awful lot they didn’t give the opposition much of a sniff. Clunan and Kelly came on at half time and the Iron started to dominate. Ogle played 1st half but understandably rusty and a bit off the pace.
While each second half substitution seemed to strengthen the Iron the opposite happened to Gainsborough. Some decent play in the second half and Chapman not really having to make a save.
Decent performance but it will be interesting how well we compete from Saturday onwards when we start playing against full timers.
