The Swifts secured their first win under Shiels against Crusaders but have followed that with heavy defeats by Ballymena United and Glenavon. Shiels says he is still learning about his team ahead a possible summer rebuild at Stangmore Park. "Them lads will give everything, but obviously we're making silly mistakes, confidence is low, we're lacking quality in certain areas - it's as simple as that." "We've had so many games, we're part-time players and the games are coming and coming," he added. While Shiels will have looked to resurrect his players' confidence levels after Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Glenavon, Linfield head to Stangmore on Saturday after enjoying a rare midweek off.
