    I had a lot of respect for Rosler as a manager before the game but not now. Totally negative with ten men behind the ball and using timewasting as a tactic from the first minute. They got what they deserved - absolutely nothing. We really struggled to get our fluid football moving against them and I was disappointed not to see John-Lewis and Payne come on at half-time as we needed a bit more nous and muscle in the box against these type of tactics. It all turned out alright at the end with Tote's towering header and he was the clear Man of the Match even before that (though Rodman looked lively again up front). On to a tricky game against Peterborough but at least we will see two sides wanting to attack and I am looking forward to that one. Hope Junior is OK but if not we have options to cover for him and we should be well placed to give the Posh a few problems.

    A tough game where we saw a Fleetwood player getting booked on the 39th minute for time-wasting showed what plan they had in mind.

    Hurst needs to find a way to deal with this sort of negative tactic. Both Plymouth and Fleetwood used it and stifled our attack. One possibility is having someone like Dodds shooting from longer range.

    I hope Brown is okay, looked bad when he turned and collapsed. He is definitely one of the First on the List players. I assume Riley or Beckles might be added to the starting lineup come the next game.
