Will be benchedSimms' best game for ages. Will be harsh to bench him on Saturday.
BTA great, Saka really good off the bench.
Both wing backs were good offensively and defensively.
Kitch was excellent until he lost his man for the goal.
Revert to back 4. Wright and Saka both straight back in. Same team that beat Blackburn.Gone from feeling like we had no squad depth to a real selection head ache for Saturday. Assuming we go back to 4231 which cb drops out? Feels harsh to leave Simms out and a Saka was brilliant when he came on.
You keep the Thomas/Kitching pairing for now. Our only weak link at the moment is left back when Dasilva goes offGone from feeling like we had no squad depth to a real selection head ache for Saturday.

He will be good in time I thinkExactly how bad at football is Brau?
Don’t agree at all with respect, looked comfortable for the most part and restricted them to pot shots from distanceI know we won the game and I'm thrilled but I don't think we played that well. Grimes was all over the place positionally, the defence looked really shaky to me. What was Kitching doing for their goal? Stay on your feet and they wouldn't have even had a shot.
Thought we were overrun in the midfield. A two man midfield of Grimes and Torp didn't work.
We won so its job done but I just think we could easily have let that slip with how we defended.
I agree with some of that. I don’t think the formation worked that well. They looked a really poor side but Frank got the job done so can’t moanI know we won the game and I'm thrilled but I don't think we played that well.

Fair enough. It just felt to me like we invited them on and it nearly cost us.Don’t agree at all with respect, looked comfortable for the most part and restricted them to pot shots from distance

Yeah I said the same thing to my mate during the game. Bring on another midfielder and go 2 up top, so 5-3-2. It would have stopped us from being overrun in the centre of midfield.It’s a very different job for Grimes and Torp in that system and I don’t think either flourished. I’d have like to have seen us try two up front and another midfielder in there tbh.
You called itVery hard fought result
Good to see Simms working so hard and getting 2 assists.
Grimes just does what Grimes does and makes us tick.
BTA was fantastic gets m.o.m 9/10
Everyone else 8/10.
Good tactics and selection from Frank, great to see Wright get a well earnt rest, and I expect he will be eager to get the top scorers spot back on Saturday.
In his nine or ten minutes I saw Bidwell put a decent cross in and make a great block. I got the impression he filled in all right at the end.You keep the Thomas/Kitching pairing for now. Our only weak link at the moment is left back when Dasilva goes off

Kitching was but a bad mistake at the end.Thomas and Kitching were fabulous all game
So pleased for him and understandable to look tired, would be interested to know the last time he played 90 minutesI’d say Simms MOTM he created both goals. Switched off last 10 mins though looked tired .
Meant to be the other way roundR
