AMMIES SAVE THEIR RECORD BUT WELLENS STILL FUMING

Wilson is the super sub for Salford

- George Riley

RICHIE Wellens blasted his Salford City players for throwing away their game-plan and conceding an ‘unacceptable’ goal.

Carlisle looked like becoming the first side to win at Salford this season thanks to an 11th-minute goal from right-back George Tanner.

The Ammies brought former Manchester United striker James Wilson off the bench and his stylish finish secured a late point in a lively game between two promotion rivals.

But Wellens was unhappy that his team’s defending meant they had to settle for a point.

“It should have been a win. From the first minute to the last we were dominant,” he said.

“We made a mistake on a set-play, we switched off and shouldn’t have done.

“We made a bad defensive header and then didn’t have anybody picking up for the second ball and that allowed them a foothold in the game.

“Myself and the staff turned up for training at 8 am and all we were talking about was long throws and set-plays, and still we didn’t deal with it. We worked on that, so it’s not acceptable.
