Ryan Lowe of Plymouth that is

Surely some mistake?? Has to be Ian Gay. He knows everything.

Alternatively, you could argue that possession in your own half is pretty pointless. Possession for possession’s sake. We had less of the ball but were in their half for almost 60% of the game.

I know we are not a great side, but that was the most comfortable we’ve been at home all season.

My son, could be biased mind, saw it on tv and said it was inches outside.

Definitely just outside. I was as surprised as Callum that no free kick was given. 

Wells for Semenyo. Easing him back

Did we do the applause for Arthur?

Both sets of fans

Semenyo has started well

Semenyo starts. James on the bench.

4 -3-3 mobile front three. He explained some time ago . 

So essentially a shite Liverpool.

No he was fine and if he’d be bothered looking up he could easily save it. 

Definitely on de Gea as far as I’m concerned. The reason we don’t see goals like that is because the keeper will get up and defend his goal until the ball is cleared and then go down if he feels it necessary. 
Rolling round with his back to play. I realise Fred went down his Achilles and it would’ve been painful, but come on.

 Matty James hopefully fit then to add experience 

Nope. Not fit for Sunday either. Nige spoke to this in his press conference. Looks like the youngsters need to step up again.

I am far far from his biggest fan, but we may just have found his position. His enthusiasm suggests he is also enjoying the new position . A very pleasing development . He was really excellent. 

I agree BW. Thought he was excellent. Some of his crossing was brilliant. The late one when Martin missed his diving header for example. He certainly looks to be enjoying it. He looks full of confidence and not the hesitant safety first player that lets the game pass him by and gets everyone’s back up.

The position seems to suit him in terms of his attributes, pace and athleticism, but there is more to it than that. You have to applaud the coaching staff and Nige for bringing this out of him. Two good games in a row!! If he can keep it up he will be in a strong position when we try and renegotiate his contract.

I echo all the praise. Fantastic from them both. And what a carrot for the other talented players in the academy that there is a genuine pathway. Well done to all involved in their development.

Well done boys.

Kalas and Baker throwing themselves at that. Great desire.

Can we hold on till half time?

Well deserved . A long throw and Bakinson scores. Who saw that coming??

That difficult time of the season for me with myself in the home end and my wife in the away end.

For matrimonial peace a draw is always a good result. A thrashing by one team doesn’t lead to arguments but a narrow, maybe underserved win by either team will lead to a difficult journey back down the M5………but if it was in our favour I’d take it

Very magnanimous of you Ralph. She’s lucky to have you.

Desperately trying to think of a pun to join in but I’m all at sea…. Nope, definitely floundering with this one.

Not a big fan of the long throws. But in fairness I thought they were better today.

Win lose or draw. If we can play with this intensity every week I’ll be happy.

That’s a contender for champagne moment. Benarous clatters into the defender whose boot comes off. As he claims for a free kick Benarous launches it down the pitch. Confidence

Trying to play on the front foot. So far so good.
