    Still was the one that set the motion of the goal tho right? I mean if that was Roberts people would be banging on about assisting the assist etc. He's hardly playing ****e.

    Yes he did well to win the ball back, not doubting that but most players will have a good moment or 2 in a game - doesn't mean they played well. Rigg struggled out wide against Derby, it's not his natural position so that's not a criticism of him

    I dont think folk would, Roberts hasn't been great recently either but for me he is a natural winger and we need a natural winger if the other winger (Le Fee) is also playing out of position

    Totally get where your coming from but Roberts? I can't even remember the last time the bloke had a good game it's all well and good skinning a player or two but if it leads to losing the ball what's the actual point? He very rarely contributes to chances or goals imo.

    Roberts has been very good this season with the odd off game

    I think it's more because he's the only natural winger that's available at the minute so that's why I would start him over Rigg

    He carries the ball up the pitch for us, which we will need with 3 other CMs on the pitch

    Scruffy 1:0 win. They’ll try and tighten up after their last game, and we struggle to consistently break teams down of late.

    just bag the 3 points and get more minutes in the tank for Elf.

    5-0 they are terrible Plymouth it is about time we had a big win, but it most likely be 2-0 Isidor not offside, no handball, no bumping into a player, i hope Hull get a draw tonight as well. how plymouth beat Brentford was strange

    He had a good start playing early balls, **** for a bit before Christmas when he started thinking he was Messi again and better since as he’s played the ball sooner and been smarter. I like him more now than I have for a while. I’d still be adding a finisher to the right.

    Not caught the news but someone mentioned northern Ireland had it bad. Hope it dies off and you make it and everyone stays safe. Weird weather this winter. A storm a week pretty much since mid December.

    Weather is going to be a massive leveller in this and restrict us.

    Therefore, 3-0 the lads.
