Need to build some momentum. Next 3 are all against teams below us, somehow. I’d keep the back 3, seems to suit our CB’s better who aren’t good enough for a back 4. Although would swap O’Hora for Kangasniemi, and Thomas for Aluko switching Alves to LWB. McCarthy Okoli - Souttar - Kanga Aluko - Lundstram - Page - Alves Chaplin - Doyle Riis

Must not lose. Shame Ilari cannot play, was pretty much they only reason I could come up with to tune in. Expect Russell will go strong with the break to come. Ravizzoli Aluko - O’Hora - Faes - Thomas Braybrooke - Lundstram Carr - Doyle - Watson Bristrić McCarthy / Coulibaly / Okoli / Neale / Alves / BDCR / Riis

Felt for him today, Russell had him playing as a false 9 for a lot of it when we were out of possession. Was always going to struggle as that is really not his game. Still had a really solid start to the season all in all.

Panathinaikos signing a new LB now… are we sure Victor even exists??

Stockport coming off the back of a 4-0 win, and us a 4-0 loss… so 8-0 incoming? McCarthy Joseph - Souttar - O’Hora - McFarlane Lundstram Howell - Braybrooke - Page - Alves Riis Ravizzoli / Aluko / Kangasniemi / Doyle / Chaplin / Watson / Bristrić

Just think we’ll see some rotation game to game and would rather keep Alves in rather than Howell. Also not completely convinced by Howell’s off the ball work, although technically excellent, so would offer a threat off the bench still.

Back at home on Saturday, and could really do with a win to keep the momentum going. Will be interesting to see who makes the squad/ misses out due to deadline day additions. Not sure Martin will make too many changes after a win and back-to-back clean sheets… McCarthy Joseph - Souttar - Thomas - McFarlane Page Burns - BDCR - Braybrooke - Alves Bristrić Ravizzoli / Aluko / O’Hora / Lundstram / Howell / Watson / Riis Although can see Cullen making the bench ahead of Howell. Longer term hopefully Thomas drops out of the squad and Kangasniemi fills that place on the bench with O’Hora starting.

Now the transfer window is closed getting him on a new contract should be the next priority.

On the whole pretty pleased with our business and have got competition for every position. Just need to flog Coulibaly, Faes & Okoli to Turkey/ Saudi. Stolarczyk / McCarthy / Ravizzoli Joseph / Aluko / Coulibaly Souttar / O’Hora / Okoli Kangasniemi / Nelson / Faes Mcfarlane / Thomas Page / Lundstram Braybrooke / Doyle Burns / Howell Chaplin / Cullen Alves / Watson Riis / Bristrić / BDCR

Braybrooke and Page have run rings around the Plymouth midfield

At least it means we can play LT in his best position at the heart of the defence

Big H is wasted at the back

Looked like a team with relegation written all over it until those two goals. Hopefully the goals will be a catalyst for better things. Won't hold my breath though.

Someone in the match thread suggested he is in the stands with Riis …

Page staying with Skipp & Hamza leaving is sensational. When do we start building the statue for McCarron?
