Llorente is definitely a blow but Roberts being out is a blessing, Bielsa has to be the only one who sees anything in him, until he came off today and only because of injury he was the reason we were not out of sight or at least in front, I honestly can't understand how he has persisted with him, if that's a player anywhere else on the field constantly under performing and costing us he gets dropped but Roberts somehow goes under the radar, even Graham Smyth on the YEP gave him a rating of 7 for the game and he's usually spot on with his ratings but a 7 for today tells me he couldn't have watched the game. All that aside it was a good performance all round and Firpo is finally starting to look confident and that's a massive plus. Haven't been a big fan of James but he along with Gelhardt gave us that little extra we needed today
