They have played really well.

We were well in control, but Plymouth were so well organised, they just let us play the lines from left to right and back again and we really struggled to get in behind them or get to the bylines.

Plymouth are a very big physical side and we are getting outmuscled a lot of the time.

Sakamoto is being missed here, the entire game again is bypassing him. Not sure if its his fault but he’s playing no part.

But nowhere where it causes Plymouth a problem. That's why statistics are wank without some form of context.

I really try and give players the benefit of the doubt but Collins just doesn't seem at the races. Granted MvE & Simms were at fault for allowing the attacks but he has to do better.surely. One through him and one near post.

Is Wilson fit? He can't be a worse option at this point can he?

I’d be bringing Sheaf on for Allen. As good as Dasilva has been recently I’d leave Bidwell on for now.

Both soft goals from our point of view.

Collins should have done better but Lati exposed several times and Simms should have done better on their second.

hopefully gives us a kick up the arse for the second half.

We are actually 8th in the last 6 away form table. It’s the last 4 we’ve struggled in - we need a draw

How Collins has made it as a professional footballer I’ll never know, somebody, somewhere, has made the decision to offer him a contract, to pay him money, to be a goalkeeper.

He doesn’t even worry me as a goalkeeper, if a shot comes in, I just expect it to go in.

76% possession means fuck all, if that possession is just our CBs passing it to each other and then to Grimes and then back again. It’s so fucking boring to watch

Said it for a while we need to go to a back 5 away from home and make it more of a battle - that is how we kept winning away from home during our amazing run

As shit as Collins is… first goal Simms doesn’t pick the man up for the cross and the 2nd goal was shit from MVE trying to control it.

Arse wipe of a first half. I simply cannot believe Collins has done it again. He cannot stop the ball when it has any semblance of power. He’s racking up the points cost and at the end it will have been enough to get a play off spot

They don't go missing. We struggle to get players on the ball. We struggle with certain tactics against us.

We’ll still get something but we need to be a bit more clever, Allen should be rolling round on the floor screaming, not chasing after their player,

All well and good blaming Simms for the first but we had everybody back and their player had about 5 acres to himself.

2 of Simms/Wright/Saka need to drop deeper at a time. Just standing there and waiting for the ball is doing nothing.

Move it quicker and try and break the lines. Can't expect Rudi to do everything.

They'll sit back and let us play it in front of them all day long. We're playing right into their hands.

To be winning clearly in possession but losing the game and looking the poorer team, then it’s a big, sobering problem.

Let's hope Lampard has sorted it at half time and it doesn't descend into a repeat of Portmouth away.

100% Allens a fighter and too professional. How many players have we seen roll around a dozen times with that challenge. Clearly a red, maybe he'd get one if the decision is over ruled but that wont help us now.

I'm not sure I've ever disliked a player as much as Collins.

He is unbelievably shit. He lets in such basic goals and it's not just now and then, it's fucking relentless.

I don't understand how he keeps getting picked.
