I actually thought the Cody sub was the right one to make. He was quiet today by his standards and Elliott was a lot better than him today so justified staying on the pitch.
I don't think Elliott offered much more, only prospering from Codys movement and link up play. When Cody went off Elliott became non existent. Cody is our '20 goal a season man' so why take him off after an hour?
Baker looked upto standard for once, was silly to replace him.
We need better fullbacks if we are to continue with this fuckin' diamond IMO
Thorn should have taken Kilbane off because his contribution today was nought, and with his penchant for like for like subs then McSheffrey should have been his replacement.
That would have left us better positioned, at that point 2-2, to go on and win the game without upsetting the shape of the team.
Baker was doing well before he was taken off, and as a prime example of a so called "confidence player" taking him off at a time when he was doing alright must have knocked him somewhat.
Are all the coaching staff spineless and dare not say "hang on a minute AT", it is plain to see these things from the terraces.
Or are they all as inept as AT.....or do they think if they "give him enough rope" as they say?
