Thought Binks was really good. Some good headers defensively and offensively. His long range shot was a stunner. Nothing got past him. His diagonals to Van Erwijk were sublime. Curious why some people rated him so low?

I can enjoy the weekend now. Phew. Some very good performances from MVE, Binks, Rudoni and Wright. Thought DaSilva was good again coming on and linking well.

Feel we need to get next goal early to take the pressure off. Thomas-Asante coming on at some point is an exciting prospect.

Torp and Eccles much better in there. Winning back a lot of possession. Haji Wright's best all-round game for us so far. Van Erwijk and Sakamoto combination is sublime.

It will be interesting to see who Robins sees as his first choice LCB. I prefer Binks but Kitching played well on Tuesday. We know, despite form last season, he favoured DaSilva in the early part of last season, so wouldn't be surprised if he was to start after a good cup game. However, I much...

I would agree with Brian Borrows. Nilsson was certainly class but Borrows was talented and a great servant to the club.

Disagree with the all or nothing criticism of Allen. He lost the ball too easily on a few occasions but along with Rudoni, he changed the tempo when he came on. His movement to receive the ball and his pressing was much better than Eccles and Torp.

Real lack of control and movement. Very predictable. Kitching has played well but otherwise very drab.

Yes probably and maybe Tavares

I would bring in players who could stake a claim for regular starter - BTA, Latibeudiere, Eccles and Palmer. Though Latibeudiere and Palmer get regular stick on here, both show a fighting spirit - something that was severely lacking on Saturday.

I want us to win whenever we are playing. Back to back defeats is no way to start a season. Hopefully will get one or two strikers up and running. I think BTA may start.

If we want a bit of creative impetus and someone who can take the ball on the half turn, I would play Rudoni in there with Palmer or Mason-Clark as the 10.

Better second half but fizzled out after their goal. Didn't see anyone looking to get the game by the scruff of the neck. No visible leaders out there. Thomas was dreadful and our midfield was poor.

Really disappointing. I was expecting so much more. Can't string a few passes together. Midfield looking so weak. Think we will need the directness of Thomas-Asante soon and bring Eccles on for Allen or Torp.

Oh yes. I hadn't realised it had increased. That's good.

It will be interesting who is left out of the squad, which is a sign of depth. Unless there is any injuries, I would assume the subs will be Collins or Wilson, Latibeudiere, Da Silva, one of Torp, Eccles or Allen, Palmer, EMC or Wright and Asante-Thomas. That would mean Tavares would not be...

Thought Preston looked very poor and Sheff Utd quite decent. O'Hare showed he is a decent Championship standard player. Hamer showed he is a level above.
