"Personally for me, and this isn't going to be the same for everyone, I felt that as I got tired in games, it was harder to bring quality in that final third because I hadn't played that high up as much," centre-back Scales said.
"Especially when your legs are tired, because you're doing more running, more covering in that back three,
the fatigue can take away quality. For me, I felt like that is what happened with me.
"I felt good in the first half of the cup final but as the game developed I nearly ran out of steam. I think that was just out of not being used to playing in that position, and doing more running at high speed and covering more distance.
