    That Sissoko looks class. Reminds me of Yannick Bolasie.

    Good win for Plymouth but Luton are struggling at the moment .

    Injuries and a lack of goals but Moses was very good .

    Great win for Plymouth - Luton’s tricky start continues.

    We'll that was kin dreadful. A team clearly lacking in confidence and not comfortable with the style of play Rob Edwards is trying to implement. We have too many players out of position and Edwards insists on playing players who are not in form. More worrying is that the natives are getting restless and Robs good relationship with the fans is being put to the test.
    Anyway credit to Plymouth. An early goal gave them confidence and got the crowd going. They looked good on the break and have a few dangerous attacking players, particularly their sub, although our defence stood off and let them shoot at will. On that performance Plymouth will be fine. Us on the other hand need to start playing with the self belief we have shown in previous seasons. I don't recognise our team this season.
    The passion has gone and we don't impose our physical game.

    I don't think we need to get too excited about him becoming a top 6 PL manager any time soon. Beating a dishevelled Luton side who seem to struggling to find whatever it was that got them promoted from the Championship previously is not a mammoth achievement in the grand scheme of things. That being said, a couple of wins in quick succession is certainly at least half a finger to his critics

    Sheff wed away In the early game.

    They smashed us at the end of last season.

    Hopefully keep our unbeaten start

    Mowatt hasn't trained all week and is a major doubt. Molumby 50-50.

    First start for diakite.

    Not sure what to expect from a midfielder combination of diakite and racic. We will see.

    Our record at Millwall is shit, need to start accumulating points though, draws do little to drag you up the table.

    Get Keane & Osmajic in from the start.

    Same 11 for us, as you would expect. Should be a proper clash of styles today at Derby.

    Oh dear.

    First loss coming.

    Safe to say combination of racic and diakite does not work

    Officials in our game are having a bit of a nightmare. Seeing non existent fouls on the Derby keeper and more importantly not seeing the ball clearly go out of play in the run up to our goal.

    Diakite dragged off at half time

    First and potentially last time we see him.

    Hopefully he improves.

    Starting to feel justified in last season's assertion that Sainz will be one of the best in the league. Already matched his goal tally from last season and clearly thriving in taking that responsibility from Rowe/Sara. Obviously a different player archetype to Buendia but there are a lot of similarities with him, naturally gifted and instinctive players who seemingly play at their best when they're feeling wronged in that particular moment. Thorup's task will be getting that out of him regularly, if he does we'll win more than we don't that's for sure.
