The changes made after beating Mansfield seemed unnecessary and failed dramatically. No doubt some will say Stead and Mackail-Smith needed to rest as two games in one week might have been asking too much. My opinion when I saw that line-up was that it was a mistake, Ardley should have started with those two and seen how they went. Trust builds confidence and moral, as does continuity, and besides we do have cover for when and if they start to sag a bit.
