Agree the first 60 minutes let’s be honest we weren’t great as a team, MvE far better second half probably after a kick up the butt at half-time, made a big difference.Defensively mve was so good second half we don’t half find fault quickly
I think the position for Joel is the same he plays internationally for Jamaica holds that spot in front of defence can get around the pitch too and good cover in defence.Simms in from start. Wright on left
Thomas, Kitching and Bidders all back (did not appreciate just what a difference Thomas makes until he came on yesterday).
Lati or Eccles? Lati if he can play like he did 2nd half yesterday. Bit of an ask tho.
Get the ball to Sakamoto when he has a chance to do something with it
They are good at home but specialize in high scoring matches so no chance at all of a clean sheet. 1-3
Torp at least will start and I can’t see Joel L not startingThink we need to start with a solid lineup for this one. Frustrate them, and then start picking them off later in the game.
Kitching Thomas & Bidwell back into the defense.
I'd consider Eccles & Kelly starting in midfield and give Torp a rest
Palmer AM
Simms, Wright & Godden as the front 3
O'Hare, Sakamoto & Torp available if things are not going well.
We have to use the squad and that includes playing some of the young players if necessary given the number of matches coming up. Otherwise we will get more injuries of the type Sheaf has.Lets be honest, we don't have the squad depth of fit players to be resting anyone. We only have four recognised fit outfield players and three of those are primarily defenders.
Coach, not flying.@Skyblueweeman I remember you mentioning travel back was still undecided a couple of weeks ago. Out of interest, what have we gone for?
I want Saka to play this match as I think its a game that could suit him. Their wing backs like to get forward which could leave him a lot of space to operate in when they lose possession. The Stoke game is one where he is more likely to be subject to the over physical defending he has faced recently and one which might be more suitable for him to be rested, although I would probably still want to play in that game too.
Let’s go get a point. That would be great
I wonder if Binks is positionally disciplined enough for Robins? He wanders all around the place (even more than Thomas).Be harsh on Binks if he was dropped. Definitely start Thomas , Wright has to play left and Simms to start .
Could Lati start RB , MvE hasn't been great last two games.?
Two big games coming up , 4 points would be nice
It's so bizarre, it's exactly what Robins did on Sunday that led to the turn around, but hey hoBizarre post . So you drop a midfielder who has been one of our most consistent performers based on half an hour of someone sitting deep and winning tackles ?
He’s been very good in Kitchings absence , don’t agree he wanders at allI wonder if Binks is positionally disciplined enough for Robins? He wanders all around the place (even more than Thomas).
Because we were chasing a game ?It's so bizarre, it's exactly what Robins did on Sunday that led to the turn around, but hey ho
You obviously didn't spot his several attempts at playing left wing... rather badlyHe’s been very good in Kitchings absence , don’t agree he wanders at all
I’d be mad for daysLet’s go get a point. That would be great
Are we still on about Binks ?You obviously didn't spot his several attempts at playing left wing... rather badly
Totally agree with Simms , he adds so much in the 9 role just needs a goalI suspect fans want to rotate far more than managers, particularly at this level.
The only area we have the squad strength to do it is in defence and Kitching is back from his enforced rotation anyway
So I want/expect a full strength team as we need 3 points from this one and it is not Leeds we are playing where you need to set up special. Just please, please give Simms a go from the start and be prepared to play it long sometimes
I noticed Da Silva popped up on the right wing against Millwall. Thomas has already had a successful 30 second cameo as a centre forward. I love it.I wonder if Binks is positionally disciplined enough for Robins? He wanders all around the place (even more than Thomas).

You’ve just argued exactly my point .That is a backwards argument if ever there was one. He made changes because we were losing - we then won - so lets go back to the team that was losing - because as we were chasing the game the changes don't really count.
He wanted more physical presence in the midfield, and Lati provided that Maybe he will view Plymouth as a different kettle of fish, not so physical as Millwall. I think Eccles v Lati is a close call. Lati was crap in the role v Bristol bit was a real enforcer on Sunday.
There has been nothing in the last 6-7 years of Robins to suggest he likes that sort of stuff. He is strictly discipline - you can see the way they follow strict instructions in certain situations and ironically it is often when they do the discipline stuff that pisses off people on here on matchday threads, but the discipline is why we have so overperformed.I noticed Da Silva popped up on the right wing against Millwall.
