Rigg and Bellingham have been running on empty for weeks and as a result the team is laboured ….. why on earth ha AA not been given minutes. Aldo put Luke in DM and allow Neil minutes in an attacking role. The overuse of the same players with the same tactics has brought us to a grinding halt.

Or Aleksic? We signed him for good money and he’s not featuring for the u21s so why isn’t he getting a look in when the midfield aren’t performing and he’s on the bench every week?

Roberts dragged himself through to score that goal, great run across the pitch and he'd looked like he was feeling the effects of his illness. Clearly wasn't expecting to be on so early. O'Nien a big miss. We should have had a penalty. Neil had a good second half. Rigg poor, Bellingham made things harder for himself than he needed to. Mayenda was good going forward. Isidor unlucky a couple of times. Cirkin up the agression and speed. Shambolic defending for their goal. Manning made a good tactical change and the goal was coming.
 
I'm not a fan of Aouchiche and I appreciate we have had many injuries and that's played a part.

But when other sides are making subs, rotating and keeping freshness or a bit of intensity it highlights how keeping our young kids like Rigg on the pitch week in week out (and it was the same with Jobe last year) and the lack of subs so often is a daft approach.

Now Le Bris is clearly realising there's an issue with his form or intensity as he's now taking Rigg off more often, but why not just rotate and try to give him a small break now adn again so when he does play he's more effective?
 
Play offs will be a massive success this season and the way we are playing indicates we will make them, improve the goals scored we are a top 2 outside bet
