We have dominated really and should be 3/4 up...
formation is working well...
mason and sterling need to both work on their delivery...
mason has been skinned a few times..
sterling solid defensively awful going forward.
Hiwula best player so far

We haven’t had a shot without the penalty that’s remotely tested the keeper

Not a bad half. Baylis looks quality on the ball. Not convinced yet by sterling or mason though they have done ok. Hiwula has some decent touches and movement and Bakayoko has had a decent half. Ogogo and Doyle working hard. Still think Plymouth have a goal in them (no 19 a bit of a handful) so we need a second.

That's the thing, a lot of interplay but not troubled them and made the keeper save

Can't help thinking if we had McNulty's movement up front we would be running away with it.

We need more composure in final third during build up. And more wingplay help. But other tjsn thst not too bad. We We r unlucky vs Scunthorpe. If we went in to today's game on 4pts I don't think everything would be analysed so much

So much space down our left hand side, the issue is Mason is isolated when he gets it. The one time Hiwula is there and runs at them, we win a penalty.

Not sure on Bakayoko yet, his movement at times is good, but other times he seems to make the wrong move or does it too late. It’s obviously early doors though and he’s certainly not the write off people thought based on today.

Sterling looks poor, I’m sure there’s more to come but he needs to find it soon. Especially as I don’t think Grimmer is the answer.

Andreu is a dilemma, he shows good touches, ability and awareness, but he’s not in the game enough. It’s clear he’s got the ability, but he’s not a match winner on his own. When Thomas comes on, I’d take him off and put Bayliss at 10.

Willis looks as though he’s limping but he’s alwya injured so who knows.

My first ‘live’ game and It’s a weird system alright!

4-2-2-2,4-2-3-1, and even a 4-5-1.

Seems to be very flexible with Bayliss and Andreu seemingly having free roles to wander around the middle.

Really impressed with movement and passing ability. Obviously been well drilled to move when ball in certain areas.

Defence looks fairly solid too.

Hopefully get more goals that are endeavours deserve in 2nd half.

I thought the placement was perfect. Not hit with great power, but if you place it there the keeper is simply not going to save it 9 times out of 10.

Keeper should have saved it imo. Yes he found the bottom corner but only just.

Not that it matters; it could roll in at 2mph for all I care, as long as it goes in.

But I maintain it was poor.

Lameiras isn't out warming up, wonder if he will bring him on? If sterling is marking him he might boss him

Hope he doesn't bring Willis off, Thompson might struggle against their big striker

Not at all. He’s savvy and can hold the ball against a challenge then lay it off.

I thought it was poor too in fairness.

Passed towards goal at about 1mph. The keeper will be annoyed with himself for not saving it I would have thought.

Wonder if he's improved if he has 1 kick and the chicken inside of him will come to the fore

He's been a handful for sure. Bit of a concern. Could really do with Davies in there.

Right in corner. Can't focus on power if placement was perfect

Andreu was clear on goal one yard away which was a reaction save for a corner...

Scramble in the box which agogo should bury...

Bakayoko if he was a yard quicker would had been in 3 times...
