    Onien was made Captain which pretty much makes him undroppable unfortunately

    im a big fan of onien mate but when you’ve got a monster specialist defender who’s just made his debut and done well and just stick him back on the bench it’s not great.

    Adil should be in there too and I’d say ba. We’ve got a **** load of games coming up and if he keeps on like he has been we’ve got a load of great footballers tired as **** and a load of great players that aren’t match sharp.

    They both did alright but neither of them put in the kind of performance that would earn them a start in the next game.

    I agree Seelt mate, id love to see him next to Ballard.
    Adil is a hard one because Jobe scored in our last game so it would be harsh dropping him. Like Onien, Neil will always play when fit so the best way for Adil is to try and replace Ekwah

    There's 2 sides to this - 1 is that the team had done well and got us the points so we are now 6th but the other side is that both Seelt and Triantis played well in the last game. It's a toss up I suppose. I agree it's hard on both of the centre halves but I suppose that's what Mowbray is being paid for

    I still think once Alese is back we should find a League 1 club to take Triantis on loan

    so they have to be man of the match to get in the team now? Just need to rotate players imo or we are gona end up with too many injuries AGAIN and like I say players that aren’t match fit because he doesn’t give them enough minutes and they can’t play reserve games because there sat on the bench.

    I don't think many teams rotate their first choice centre backs, unless they're playing in multiple competitions on a regular basis.

    Strong team good to see them sticking with Rusyn. Fancy him to score today good movement and deserves a break he's rattled the woodwork a number of times lately. Hard place to go will be a big win if we can manage it

    Mowbray doesn't play a style that suits two large and fairly static central defenders.

    Plymouth don't have a style with flying wingers and loads of crosses into the box.

    That side makes perfect sense to me tbh.

    I think it would help imo with all the games we play. Or atleast give them a half now and again.
