Sadly yes he could Mike - being unkind should/could he have saved all 3 goals? They don't look any better on the highlights than they did live, but hopefully he'll do better next time. Otherwise Trigger hs to get his chance again.

With Wintle at CH, I don't want to see it again except in an emergency because we lose him covering in front of the back four, which I think contributed a lot to our better defensive displays last season. I suspect they tried it because Plymouth were going with Joel Grant and Byron Moore up front, who aren't going to trouble mid-sized CHs in the air at all - and by the way, they were both out on their feet by the end weren't they? I thought we were the fitter team.

I've heard too that we have at least one coming in this week - hope it's not dependent on the Championship window closing as we might miss out at the last minute. (And by the way one of our young players is being scouted regularly by a big club - spoke to their scout at one pre season game and again on Saturday.)
