    I really don't see what Roberts brings to the team.

    Thought we looked decent and liked how we were getting bodies in and around the box, unfortunately we've been caught because of it.

    I'm not particularly worried, at the moment, and still think we can win the game.

    We need a few minor changes but we're playing well on the whole.

    If Plymouth keep fouling us they'll be down to 10 men.

    We played some decent stuff but not creating clear chances.

    Frustrating but no reason we can’t turn this round, Haway lads

    Roberts needs a full back who charges forward, and ain't scared of having a go.
    We ain't having a proper go to be fair we are trying to walk it in, some ****er have a distance shot ffs.

    Our build up is too slow. We've had so much of the ball but looked short of ideas. 3 free kicks in dangerous areas have been wasted.

    The goal is horrendous though (despite being a wonderfully composed finish). Roberts trying to beat 3 men and then making a poor pass, Hume completely unaware of the threat of the Plymouth striker and then an absolutely shocking position from Patterson. He should have been making the effort to get back into his box in the first place in my opinion, he had nothing to offer in no mans land.

    Mumba will be sent off, he's arguing with everyone ... even his team mates.

    You'd expect Plymouth to tire and we can get at them more.

    Ba is not doing too well in the middle. Get him out wide, take Roberts off and bring on someone who can play No.10

    That’s why Ba has to play on the right if we go with Hume

    Hardie’s movement the difference. If we had him we’d be 3 up.

    Movement for a striker is a lot easier when you’re playing on the counter, trying to create space when you’re playing against a team sitting deep is much harder. Aguero was the king.

    Only stat that matters is goals.

    That's what we were told about Stoke and Middlesbrough.
