With a view to a permanent moveTavares needs to go out on loan.
Don't want to see Lati at RB again , he was a lot better at CB bar one brain fart momentSolid 6 and 7’s. Stand outs were Eccles, Kitching, Wilson and JTA just for pure work rate. All the subs did well. But surely Robins must know now that with Thomas & Lati in the same back four we can’t pass out from the back.
He obviously has ability but he is one of the most awkward looking players I've ever watchedFeel sorry for Tavares… his position is not out on the right wing. But he needs to move on for the sake of his career now.
His mobility around the park causes us problems out of possession thoughGreat ball from Palmer, basically told Simms where to run and that was essentially the difference tonight. Good finish from Simms too.
I maintain Palmer is the best passer of the ball in attacking areas that we have. Weight of pass is almost always perfect
I think he’d work well centrally with someone else up there with him but he’s not a 9 and we currently play with one 9. Even Simms struggles physically up there on his own at times and looks a bit lost, I don’t think I’d want to see Tavares being the one to try and hold it up / win headers etc.The guy is a CF. He’s not getting any game time there any time soon though and he’s no right winger.

I’m not sure he’s anything to be totally honest. Would honestly be surprised if he’s still a professional in a few years. Above anything from a technical point of view he’s so unbelievably slight and lightweight for a footballerThe guy is a CF. He’s not getting any game time there any time soon though and he’s no right winger.
He genuinely looked like newborn giraffe at one point in the first half. Think he was attempting to challenge for the ball but seemed to fling his legs in opposite directions.He obviously has ability but he is one of the most awkward looking players I've ever watched

He's got a brilliant cross on him.
Told Simms where to run??Great ball from Palmer, basically told Simms where to run and that was essentially the difference tonight. Good finish from Simms too.

Not discrediting Simms… I just mean it would’ve been so easy to play that pass into feet (by which time the defender closes down).Told Simms where to run??
Watch it again and you’ll be able to see Simms calling for the ball to be played.
