    I agree with all of that too Sam, I think we will make a profit on Kamara.

    On team selection - there's nothing wrong with rotating the squad for these games, that 11 could and should have won that but.... the gameplan was based on Stevenage being a compact unit leaving no room to play through them so go out wide every time. Bailey had loads of the ball but f'kd up and lost it NINE**** times when he could have set up good chances, he is awful most of the time. Emery plays an asymmetric formation so no real threat on the other flank but f'me if we don't score by going through the middle! Then we continue to do what isn't working out on the right - Ings tirelessly made short runs to show for the dink over the top but barn door Coutinho never once tried to play him in, same goes for Luiz.

    I feel for Dendoncker, he's hardly put a foot wrong when called upon and was facing the goal, Olsen should never have made that pass, never, and to then get beaten by a tame low shot at the near post, fk off and don't come anywhere near B6 ever again. I was in the upper Doug Ellis so couldn't see that the short corner was on until it was taken, I watched in disbelief - credit to them, their plan worked to stay in the game then press in the nervy last few mins.

    I'm seething lads, it was the first thing that came into my head when I woke up - worst of all is that result is now written in history and we are the banter club for away fans, the gift that keeps on giving.

    Sanson - a true professional, gave a very disciplined performance, got the goal and we were worse without him as Buendia just runs all over the place leaving space for the opposition and isolating Digne.

    Martinez didn't need a rest, that's the one selection I don't get at all, almost always there is drama in these games and so it proved. I don't want any of these players apologising on social media or the club website, they still get their pay whilst we get pelters, all I want is decisive action in the windows to build the right team like Ron Saunders did, who will give their all.

    UTV (I think)!
