I've suggested playing BTA off Simms/Bassette a few times . Not as a CAM or in the Rudoni role but as he did tonight , just use his energy and press defenders

If he had the final ball with his current skillset it wouldn't be Sheaf we were worried about selling . The fact that his passing and movement around the pitch is becoming more and more progressive makes him one of the best 6s in this division

Simms is still the better of the two when it comes to finishing and goals but a modern day number 9 has to work hard off the ball and be ready to take chances when they come along

I love him , he's one of my favourite players but I thought he still looked tentative tonight . He wasn't alone in that don't get me wrong but it was good to see EMC play well so hopefully will allow Tats time to heal up fully

Does last season's form not count anymore ? 😜

And he was frustratingly just in the wrong place for a tap in at times due to a deflection or a badly placed pass/cross .

Was noticeable when Sakamoto was injured that Robins called Wilson over

It was good to see his teammates give him plaudits for his hand in the goal , they know he's a good player and want him to do well

I'm abroad and watched it on TV , even the wife said the dirty bastard did it on purpose. It certainly looked intentional to me

There partnership tonight was superb , Eccles clearly knows Sheaf is way off being fully match fit and covered behind him admirably all game

You can see the other players love him , even when he lost rock,paper,scissors with MvE he didn't sulk

After his mistakes tonight he didn't sulk he owned them and put his hand up . I noticed all game he was in Bobby's ear and moving him about . I've always said sometimes the best central defensive partnerships aren't always the best players but the best combinations

Southampton last night being a prime example. Robins for me has never been one to nail his style to one or another . I think every modern manager wants the Pep/Klopp comparison but the season we made the playoff final we were a dreadful watch but it worked

I've said a lot this season that we've missed O'Hares energy and positivity on the pitch and the only player I've seen who can replicate it is BTA. He hasn't got the best skillset , pace or finishing skills but in every game I've watched him he runs his arse off every minute he's on the pitch ...

After we scored the second we controlled the pace and tempo of the game brilliantly and you could see players like BTA , EMC , Kitching , and others who have started the season slowly starting to believe in themselves again

He was absolutely class tonight . There will still be some absolute whoppers on here that can't or won't see it but he is developing very quickly into one of the best in the division in his position

How many times does Robins manage to win dirty to turn things round ? A lot of great managers of the past made a habit of it .

I've said it before and I'll say it again , you entrench yourself with an opinion and never yield it . Are you related to Grendel?

Eccles was outstanding tonight alongside Sheaf who is way off match fit but he held that midfield together . BTA was the spark for tonight's display , I don't care if he takes 10-20 chances to score , he was dynamic and a constant irritant. Wright got better and better as the game progressed...

That's one for BTA , his work rate has been top notch tonight
