Since we’re often quoting price as a factor if we’re saying Gyokeres is way better than Wright that’s probably why he went for nearly 3 times the fee. Gyokeres - great player. But he was no Pele. Hamer was the key for me.

Raising the flag when offside rather than 3 minutes after. Being able to tackle.

There are lots of factors in the fee. We’d just sold Gyokeres for £20m. No one was coming here cheap after that. Robins was probably looking at pay up or get no one. As fans we’re not conditioned to feed. I cast my mind back 3-4 seasons and remember being delighted we’d paid for someone. I’d say...

I don’t see why the fee is relevant to supporters. That’s King and the banks’ issue. Even more bizarre is saying Godden shouldn’t be measured in the same way as he cost less. Does that mean Eccles can be abysmal every game?

The question of where people fit like the box to box midfielder fit in is raised and the answer is into the squad. You can’t get through a championship season with the same 11. You probably need 8 midfielders capable of starting.

I think I’m on the spectrum.

Must admit in Jan I’d seriously be considering trying to offload O’Hare and Atari to free up wages to reinvest in midfield. O’Hare has obvious quality but just doesn’t play enough.

Kitching mom. Thomas improving. Sheaf ultra consistent. Eccles - box to box. Van Ewijk - flashes of being brilliant. Bidwell - gives us defensive stability.

When you look at the delivery in to him tonight it was poor. Had two similar crosses pulled back to him. One 30ft over the bar, the other back of the net. Made life difficult for Plymouth. The bigger question is what Godden adds.

The ball was clearly out but hey-ho. You could tell the way the players stopped it was out. It helped Wright as he was relaxed knowing it should have been called out. Overall thought Kitching and Thomas were excellent - Kitching has a touch of the Trevor Peake about him. Could be a steal. Sheaf...

Decent sort of half. Kitchings passing has been good. We look solid at the back and the midfield trio cover acres of ground. Our best chance looks to be a midfielder receiving it on the turn and putting a forward through. Best game I’ve seen Sakamoto have. Wright has put himself about. I know...

Kitching distribution is excellent

Even if we stick with the flat back four LK, BT, KM, LB and JB is about right - it’s about the squad. It’s correct that midfield is where we need options An injury to any of Sheaf, Eccles or Allen leaves us light.

It’s incredible we’re looking to judge Wright in November. If you want to introduce Gyokeres into the argument you’d have to compare where he was after a handful of starts - and that he had Hamer and O’Hare feeding him.

He’s turning into a top player - dead ball prowess or not.

Playing with wing backs in a five means they start further up the pitch - right against whoever their opponents are. To do that we leave ourselves light in midfield. With the three across midfield we look far better balanced and the full backs have space created for them to run into - which is...

Look back at our highlights. He’s hugely involved. Once one goes in he’ll go on a spree. Millwall didn’t know what to do with him yesterday - he had a massive influence on us winning.

Not so sure about that. Which are you referring too?

He’s ok as a squad player. To be honest the initial selection of him over Bidwell is the worst mistake Robins has made in 4-5 years. He hasn’t made that many mind.

Yes, 100% correct JB. When we try tic tac toe around the area we have less end product - a bit like when Wenger got all self indulgent at The Arse. Get in range, have a go. Win 3-0.
