The Gaffer has always said he doesnt see them as Subs but finishers.GaryJ wrote: ↑14 Jul 2022, 14:35Thought Sim played well down the left first half. Greggs doesn't look fit and doesn't work hard enough up top for me.Rich wrote: ↑13 Jul 2022, 18:39Thought the starting 11 played really well. Was impressed with our new midfielders Turton and Hayward. Insall I can see being a real handful and his workrate was very impressive.
The center halves also looked solid.
Unlike others I was a little disappointed with the standard of the bench and feel we need it to be better to cover the starting guys.
In the end though a very good work out against good players.
Sim seems to be very injury prone so think we need cover and Gregs may be a 70 min man.
Also have to comment on how good the pitch was. Massive well done to all concerned
What was wrong with the players that came off the bench, i thought did really considering only had 30 minutes to get into the game?
I didnt see that the guys who came on gave us anything like last years subs to change a game.
I know they only had about half an hour and we dont really know what the strength of the Crewe team was. Hopefully with time they gain confidence and do a good job but I just thought the gap between the 'first' 11 and the replacements was noticeable
