Latibeudiere manages big strikers really well. He uses his body well. If Thomas comes on, it would be for Binks imo

We did improve leading up to the goal but dire for first half an hour. We used to be a decent passing team. Our passing and hold up play has been so poor. Dovin again very good. Torp's defensive work has also been good. Allen coming into it as the half progressed. Pleased for Simms. Stayed alert...

Credit to Eustace. When I look at their individual players I am not particularly worried. However, he has them playing well as a unit. If we can keep the energy levels up that we have shown the last two games then we will give them a good game. Unless any fitness issues, I would start...

Subs have been poor lately. Can't remember the last time anyone has come on and made a positive impact. Eccles has been dreadful in his two cameos. I was also annoyed by Bassette letting players go by him without any pressure in the closing moments.

Disagree about Allen stepping with a contract in mind. I think he steps up every time he plays. Can never fault his endeavour. He leaves everything on the pitch.

Not very convincing but big 3 points. Lack of quality but can't fault the workrate

Passing and decision making is so poor. Very lucky that we haven't been punished for our sloppiness. Smart save from Dovin. We are desperate for a CM who can show composure.

Mr dependable and probably our most consistent player over the last few years. Keeping experience in the squad is exactly what we need.

I am pleased we haven't let them continue to keep the Scottish benches warm. Unfortunately it seems Howley has failed to fulfill his potential at this point. Burroughs has shown he can play at this level and unless his car accident has impacted his ability, he adds cover for a number of positions.

Maybe more accurate to say unbalanced squad. If we play 3 at the back, we have no senior cover; we'll have no right back cover (unless it is to be Burroughs who couldn't get in Kilmarnock team since his accident); and we have no DM cover with Sheaf injured. We do have 4 goalies though!

Taking one for the team is getting booked, not getting a straight red and leaving the team with 10 men.

In a small squad with minimal cover I think it would be foolish to let him go. He is the one player who has consistently shown a fight mentality on the pitch. We don't have many of these in the squad as it is.

He looked a top player for a time last season and seemed Harry McGuire like. However, he has been shown to be rash; doesn't have a great first touch and is slow on the turn. That being said, he is strong in the air and I like his physicality. He has played well the last two games but whether he...

Thought Dovin was excellent again. Although Thomas-Asante struggled to show any end product, he did a job for the team as a whole with his workrate and this helped Simms be more involved and more targeted with his pressing. Encouraged that Torp managed to keep going for 120 considering question...

I like him. Never gives less than 100% every time he plays. We miss that busyness when he isn't in the team, especially without O'Hare. There are a few players who are giving Lampard something to think about in terms of what they offer.

Thought every player gave everything tonight. Chalk and cheese to earlier performances. Allen has an incredible engine - hardly touched a ball and then plays back to back full games, with a heart problem. Pleased for him that he was given the armband. I think Dovin's penalty save and Bassette's...

Really hope Collins isn't in the starting lineup. Would prefer keeping Dovin for league and cup. If Lampard wants to have a different keeper for the cup, then I hope it is the youngster Bell.

I like his attitude. A couple goals and he will be on fire.
