London blue

I'm at a loss. Two dreadful performances from a player who offers very, very little. He's not a winger, he's not a CAM and he's not been very good for the majority of this season. Has to be benched.

Dolan is a liability. I'm sick of him.

3 capable right backs and we're playing our best CB there after he got roasted last game. Nice work Eustace.

You're probably right, and yeah, Brittain's positional sense can be a bit lacklustre. I just feel against out and out wingers you're better off playing a natural full back. Preferably one with some bite. I'd be playing JRC... if he's fit enough.

Aye I really like Duru. It's such a shame we put in that pitiful performance against Blackpool as I think he would be starting league cup games against lower league teams. I'd have him as an attacking substitution at the moment - a way to change things if we're chasing a game. Not sure if he's quite ready for league starts.

Brittain is now fit and all three are RBs by trade. Carter was exposed against Coventry. Plymouth also have a quick frontline. I don't want to see him playing RB.

No brainer to drop Dolan for me. I don't know who said it or in which thread but mistakes and/or poor performances of that degree have to have consequences, otherwise you're accepting that level of performance as adequate. Dolan is passable at 10 when breaking at speed but during a spell of possession he's one of the last midfielders/attackers we have that I would want in the pocket. It has to be Cantwell in the middle.

I'd just like to see a RB played at RB. We have Britain, JRC and Duru. You could make a case for any of the three. Just not Carter, please.

Of course he just scored

What on earth about JRC is it that makes you think he can't play as a wide, attacking full back? It's so clear he gets lost higher up the pitch. He's a right back who has occasionally been used elsewhere, he's not a midfielder of any kind.

Potentially. The point being we allowed a team with such low confidence to boss the game. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at times.

Thinking about it, there's probably no better time to drop Pears, among a slew of other changes after a shit all round performance. Saves the focus being solely on him. Still not sure if Eustace will bite the bullet, though.

Yeah I missed the first five minutes putting the little one down sadly. Wish he'd cried and spared me the footy tbh.

Toth JRC Carter Hyam Pixie Travis Tronstad ACD Cantwell Sigurdsson Gueye JRC isn't a wide forward, he's a right back. Get him back where he's played his best football. I want to see some quality on the ball, hence Cantwell and Sigurdsson and for sure it's time for Gueye to get a chance. Dolan, Hedges, Pears nd a few others need to be shown last night isn't acceptable, the only ones who start as re those we can't replace.

Addressing last night, it's probably because he ran two thirds of the pitch in the wrong direction and played an awful pass to a technically poor center back against a team employing a high press with quick forwards. Just after half time. While we were a goal down. Probably.

"at least our shit goalkeeper returned to form and shipped another soft goal"

I actually don't think it's that surprising. We've not been incredible, despite results. The squad got the cheapest revamp possible and we've surprised a couple of teams. This has been coming, it's about how Eustace adapts to no longer being the form side. Plymouth will not be scared.

Alright I'm done. Fuck this.

This is so shit. We wouldn't have needed to be at our best to beat this lot. They've been sloppy and wasteful. We've just been woeful. Every single player should hang their head. I don't understand Eustace's thought process at all, either pre game or during.

Is Eustace watching? We're on the fucking ropes. Do something.

Nice one dolan

Just awful. Can someone please explain to me why we're lumping balls up to Yuki against two big lumps. Awful passing across the pitch. I'm not sure what the answer is but I think we need another head in midfield.

It's ok, if we don't get the win it'll be because we didn't have his industry in the team.

You can say he's not been ineffective, but his goal and assist contributions have always been on the low side (and continue to be) and I don't think he offers a huge amount outside of that aside from being fairly industrious. Absolutely our league position indicates we're getting plenty right. At the same time a couple of underwhelming performances suggest there's room for improvement. I'd rather see Sigurdsson or ACD play there for a game. I don't think Coventry away is an overly intimidating atmosphere and ACD seems to be brimming with confidence anyway. Football fans love to see their team win, and when discussing how best to do so can be surly when their comments are deemed to be over the top. You're right, he may well rest Hedges. Either way we've got options and decent form. I'm starting to trust Eustace more and more to make the right call.

One of the least effective, absolutely. Pixie and Dolan are up there, too. Dolan has surprised me over the last couple of games, though. You've only named two that could be argued to have been less effective and I would argue one of them. I'm fine with being disagreed with, we're discussing football, it happens. I took objection to your tone. It seems that now we've performed better than most would have hoped for we should accept our lot and not look to make improvements inthe first team? I think we can do better than the "ever present Hedges". I don't think he's shit or a bad person, I just think he's one of the poorer players to have started consistently this year. I'm delighted that people agree with you. Thumbs up.
