    Just seen them myself, and while I don’t think Williams should stay in the back 3, I don’t think he should be singled out for their goal. O’Keefe and Russell dragged out of position, then a poor header and even worse challenge for the ball on the edge of the box from MDG, who seems to be getting general praise, despite being at fault for the last two goals conceded

    Finshing cost us aswell last night. Haven't watched it back as I don't think it was on the highlights but how bad was Cosgroves miss? Reminded me of kieffer moores at Leeds under morais. There keeper pulled off some great stops too though.

    Agree with many posts about our finishing last night, we seemed to snatch at so many chances lacking a bit of composure, Grant had one where it just fell nice and opened up for him but he rushed at it.

    For those giving plaudits to Iseka, how many times have you seen him play to come to come to your view?

    I have to agree with the other lad. MDG does some good things but on Saturday failed to put a tackle in or at least prevent monaural from squaring the ball. Last night he was weak as piss for there goal zero effort made to tackle the player. So for the last 2 goals we have conceded he's been a big part of those.

    It looked bad from where I was sat to the left of the goal (looking out from the away end) - did well to get in front of his man but then totally fluffed his lines.

    I know he's had limited gametime but 1 goal, from the keeper dropping the ball at his feet, is a terrible return considering how he was for Plymouth last season. Him and Watters have been extremely disappointing.

    Russell may have done OK, I don't know, he is so anonymous it's difficult to tell. I like players that I notice are on the pitch. I think he has more to offer but he takes no risks.

    I agree, last season Norwood got 11 league goals in over 40 appearances which I didn't think was great. But having said that I can't see any other striker bar Cole contributing with that number of league goals.
    Last night on the mdt I said the other strikers haven't chipped in with enough goals I stand by that.

    What I like about Luca is, he can break up the oppositions attacks and he generally looks to take play forward either with a run or a pass. No tippy tappy with him.

    Thought JW could've tried to close down the cross too.

    And the keeper. Rooted to his line. Badly misjudged I thought.

    I was very happy when we signed Cosgrove considering his record for Plymouth last season but he's looked awful for us so far.
    His first touch is generally terrible and his finishing too. I kept sticking up for him initially saying give him time but it's not looking promising at all.

    Comedy of errors after MDG wins the 1st header he then closes the man down but makes no tackle which leaves us open. Williams positioning is abit poor but it all stems from MDG Roberts is a good shot stopper but once again a ball goes across the 6 yard box he fails to deal with. So many pointing the finger at Williams but its more MDGs fault for me.

    What were the political and financial aspects? Wasn't he a bone idle waster?
