    Not really we’re playing him on the left, he should be in the middle. Think he’s just trying something new today nout wrong with that these are the games to try new things but this is why I said I don’t like a double pivot, it’s too negative imo. 2 defence orientated midfielders in front of a back 4 against a shyte team who are just going to sit deep.

    If we are to play this shape, I think it could be better suited to Rigg rather than Roberts. It seems that Hume is providing the width on that side and Roberts playing narrow

    I’m relaxed. RLB is good at tweaking things at half time

    Game going as expected so far. Plymouth with everyone back. Usual stuff after getting hammered, a 0-0 away from home becomes a decent point.

    we have the players to find a way. A couple of close chances in the first half, something will change im certain

    Well we knew how it was going to be. Just hope we get one early second half, as I expect Plymouth dressing room at this moment discussing things like what type of injury the keeper gets later on.

    Rigg or Mayenda for me, Roberts ineffective.

    We're not moving the ball quickly enough and there's not enough movement. I'd be looking to get Mayenda on.
