Yes, did not make any sense. Can only imagine he wanted the full backs delivering in swinging crosses to Nugent and Lewis.Why on earth did KH switch the full backs second half, we were literally all over the place couldn't stop the crosses and they were finding unmarked players, lack of communication.
A few nice touches around the box, but still not convincing.What do we think of Nugent tonight? Only 45 mins but still offered very little in my opinion.
In fairness to Clarke, I think he was out on his feet tonight. He is by no means past it, but he is 39 and they had a few pacey youngsters that ran him on occasions. I think he just needs a rest like a number of other players.Defensively shocking tonight. They scored two but had a number of other good chances. Is age catching up with Clarke who has been excellent all season? On the flip side so did we and as RLC says if Lewis scored first half I think we would have won the game.
Work to be done on the training ground on the defensive basics. Full backs stop crosses coming in and centre halves marking their men and getting goal side. It’s not rocket science
So apart from creating but missing the chance at the end, what did he actually do? There were one or two nice touches, which didn't come to anything and an impetuous challenge in their penalty area, which gave away a free-kick, when we were pressing. If he'd scored, then yes, he'd have been a hero for the night, but sadly he didn't. Danny Lloyd would have his tail up after scoring the penalty, so couldn't see the sense of hooking him at that point?Kirby did fine when he came on. His first touch which led to the chance at the end was great and if he had scored the script from a lot of our supporters would be very different. Fine margins.
People should get off a young player's back.
He did pretty much exactly the same as Crawford. Gave us more control in the middle of the pitch, showed some nice touches, moved well and was happy to receive the ball in tight areas.So apart from creating but missing the chance at the end, what did he actually do?

It was Kirby who replaced Lloyd thoughI did not say anything about Lloyd.
That is Hill's decision, I can only judge Kirby by what he contributes.It was Kirby who replaced Lloyd though
