So it’s acknowledged that his selection was wrong. We missed a pen. And we were still only narrowly edged out away by 2nd in the league. And we’ve just won a couple on the bounce. I reckon we win a fair proportion of our next games.

Kitching will end up being a Rolls-Royce. Team is shaping up nicely and really don’t get the negativity.

Thought we were ok today. No disaster at all. O’Hare looked decent and hopefully it will serve to see the end of Ayari - not interested in players who don’t want to play for us. Need to see a front three of Simms, Wright and O’Hare. Sakamoto is obviously carrying a knock. Take the positives -...

I actually thought we were ok. Away from home versus a side with momentum and in 2nd. Shows we are a decent outfit. Ayari is not worth a starting place and I’ve never bought in to the Godden “poacher” myth. A front two of Simms and Wright with O’Hare behind them must be close. Happy with the way...

Much better second half. If Godden only plays as he scores then he can’t play. Contributes nothing far too often. Ayari just doesn’t want it.

May as well have a go now. Don’t think we’ve been as bad as some are saying. But we need more options going forward and there’s no point not getting them on the pitch now. Ipswich do concede so if we can get one back who knows.

At a basic level O’Hare is not fit and shouldn’t be starting. Ayari? Yet to see anything from him that warrants a place. I’d rather have strung 4 across the midfield and stuck Simms up with Wright to keep them occupied.

I don’t think you can play all three. Simms looks less of a natural footballer to me than the other two. At the moment though I’d play him ahead of Godden purely on a greater contribution basis.

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
