That goal feels like Wilson’s did last year at Blackburn

Was a hard watch when the fog was down. All the players kept turning grey.
Presumably due to low resolution.

Simms should be starting every game upfront. No point chopping and changing, give him a run of games other than the cup.

Shouldn’t underestimate how good they are at home. That’s a good point. We look tired down our right side. Godden just isn’t up to it. Wright, Simms, Saka is out front three but we can’t play them every game. I’d rather just see the raw pace of Tavares rather than Godden. What a find Torp is. Best game I’ve seen Da Silva have.

Hahaha… what absolute stinker of a game.

I’ll take the point.

Robins. Play the strongest team next time please.

Torp again with a fantastic ball in for the first and last goal.

Overall, we played quite well in the first half and had Godden put us 1-0 up, it’s probable we stay on the front foot.

Ironically, it was when we brought on our starters that we looked more vulnerable.

Palmer isn’t on that same level as COH and in my view, he’s a role player if his final third play doesn’t improve. We missed COH tonight.

You constantly moan about confirmation bias but palmer was poor. He delivers once every 3 games and you need big players to step up in games like this.

I never said he played well. I said that's why he stayed on pitch till the very end.

Need any more clarification or you just looking for an argument?

Swansea need to sack whoever sanctioned selling him. And you do really wonder why we didn’t go in for him either.

I wonder how much their home form is teams having to make that ball ache of a trip, especially on Wednesday nights.

Tell you what, we've found a right gem in Torp, and he's only going to get better with more minutes under him. I'm excited to see him grow as a player.

Really tough game, that. We didn't help ourselves at all tonight, feels like a missed opportunity for three points with the chances we've had, but at the end of the season, that point could make the difference. We need to be better though, a few clean sheets wouldn't go amiss.

Really feel like we should've got O'Hare's replacement in January. Give them 6 months to bed in and be all guns blazing next season. Like a Finn Azaz or someone similar.

But why?

Had enough of people taking cheap shots at our players. Simms had a shot. He missed. They took the ball up our end and got an OG. Shouldn't we shoot just incase they get the ball then score an OG?

Simms wasn't brilliant today. But he scored and didn't play badly at all.

Well done Torp yet again. A good point against a side solid at home.

Not really

They are on a good run and we had key players missing. You’d take a draw at the start with stoke as a winnable game.

Thought we were decent at times considering the conditions. Plymouth were just a bit slicker and crisper and we faded as the second half went on. Bit fortunate with the equaliser but then so were they with their second.

On balance they deserved the win but will take a point. Consider we were missing two key players and didn’t risk two others for the full 90.

Simms was great.

tbf they were much better than most regional comms, not overly biased and at least a degree of knowledge about our players.

Going at 1.5 points per game. Continue that makes 69 points. Need to lift it a bit and turn some of those draws into 3 pts. However I’m delighted tonight

Once every three games is generous, he's had a small handful of good games over the last 18 months

SBT rules:

- whoever touched the ball last is to blame if we concede a goal

- strikers should score every shot less than 30 yards from goal

- player fatigue is a MSM lie

- if a through ball doesn’t come off it’s terrible passing and proof the player is a nearly man.

Slightly flukey equaliser but well deserved. Overall thought we were the better team for most of the game in tough conditions; stats suggest same. Some inconsistent performances but bag the point, move on.

Still in a play off spot but tightening up. Baggies the big winners from this round of games.

Happy enough overall. Ratings thread will be an interesting read I reckon…..

Whittaker would be a joy to see in sky blue next season
