Yep, agree, but it's not just performance, it's what they are showing in training too.

How would you rate it compared to Blackpool and Oxford (cup) and Bristol?

Not obsessed, Nick, just assuming the manager would have assessed things based on Monday and then in trianing all week. If Bakayoko showed the same in training as he did at QPR then that would of course form his thinking. Bottom line is, we don't know. All we have as fans is last Monday's...

Because clearly Robins thought he wouldn't have made any difference. Based on Monday I would have said he definitely wouldn't have.

I haven't criticised Bakayoko at all yet so far, but was really, really disappointed with him on Monday. He looked lost, lethargic, disinterested. I can fully see why he was just on the bench yesterday and stayed on the bench.

Yes I did, based on Monday at QPR. You will never, ever see me moan when players aren't picked though, Nick, or when a player is picked that I am puzzled about.

Yup. With ratings of 2 and 3 I would expect us to be losing at least 4 nil, maybe, 6 or 7 or 8. Would also be very much expecting 'worst performance of ALL times comments' with that. In fact, I would be expecting it to BE the world performance of all time, especially if our midfield two were...

Easy to be an expert from the stand and say 'pick him' and 'drop him'.

Totally agree. Clearly, American Football should be on before Match of the Day.

It's so easy to pick things apart from the stands, but we simply do not know who is carrying an injury, or who has been impressing in training and who has not. People were baffled as to why Kelly was missing a couple of weeks back or so, only for us to find out later he had family issues. We...

Yeah, but Jones is still recovering from a long term injury. Hardly the same thing. We expected Jones still to be easing his way back in on Monday. We expected Bakayoko to be pressing for a first team start. I am not particularly a critic of Bakayoko, but thought he was pretty inept on Monday...

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been saying 'introduce him' if you and seen Monday's game, Steve. It was definitely the right thing to do to leave him on the bench today. No doubt about it in my mind. Bakayoko was just completely anonymous on Monday and offered zero. Nowt.

'Colours?' Isn't that racist?

Yep, byput we are not privy to what goes on, on the training ground, so have no idea whether Brown wws carrying a bit of a knock or not.

Exactly. If everyone had seen just how poor he was against QPR on Monday they wouldn't even consider playing him.

No, that's Philosoraptor.

They're more like z ratings than beratings, Johnny.

Yeah, I know. It forces you to walk around.

I clocked it, Hill, so not all was lost.

X rated after someone took him from behind I would have thought.
