1. Craney needed to be replaced - he was slow in both thought and action. Guthrie received no support whatsoever from him, nor did Craney drop back sufficiently to help in defence. His contribution to the game was nil.
2. Given the playing positions of the subs available, Taylor seemed to be the only possibility. It could have been an ideal opportunity for a youngster to shine. Guthrie had proved that the Scunthorpe defenders could not cope with speed and, just by looking at him, I would guess that Taylor would be pretty quick. I have never seen him play; I have no idea how good he is. But .... there was no way he could have been worse than Craney. |
