    The manager could make a couple of changes and a tactical tweak or two in a attempt to prevent conceding goals

    I think playing DaSilva as an LM might work, he doesn't have the height for an LB, and CoD has been poor lately in that LM role. Not sure about the balance on the right of the midfield though with that team and formation, Williams, Scott and Massengo are essentially central players, so I'd be worried either Weimann or Semenyo would end up drifting out wide to compensate.

    Have you talked yourself out of DaSilva playing LM ?

    Not sure of your point here? I thought I talked him out of playing LB, not out of playing LM?? I talked CoD out of playing LM for sure...!

    Now that makes a change with us scoring just before half-time. Good work from Weimann slotted home by Semenyo. Now the next trick is to hold on to this lead against a poor team that are, so far, worse than us.

    We're poor and winning.
    They're worse and losing.

    Bloody difficult watch.

    Red button is ****, if it’s on red button it’s on Robins TV and better cameras and replays.

    Semenyo putting more £’s into this summers bidding.

    On SSN they’ve just said that we’ve dropped 23 points from a winning position so far this season - the most of all teams in the league.
    We’d be SECOND if we’d managed to hang on FFS. :emoticon-0121-angry
    1-1 it is then…….
