This group of players are entitled to the odd poor game, as they have been fantastic for much of the season.

Absolutely 64, you just cant expect to play brilliant every week. The main thing is with some of our players not being up to their normal high standards we still won the game. Its a TEAM game for a reason, occasionally you might have to carry 1 or 2 players if they have a bit of an off day and that's what we did well today. Hopefully in the next game we see more of our usual quality from most of the players.

Even though I'm unconvinced with Piroe as our No.9, I thought Joel played well at Home Park, doing all his best work when he reverted to a No.10.

That season, we came second & won promotion to the top division.

I don't mind history repeating itself.

Just when you needed our most expensive signing of the summer to stand up & be counted.

However, apart from two decent actions of play, Joel had a stinker!

I & many around me were shouting MOVE, MOVE FFS, but the big lump remained static.

Hermansen the foxes keeper had a easy first 60 minutes as he wasn't pressed by Piroe, maybe a token gesture now & again when he could be arsed.

Faes & Vestergaard had a comfortable 63 minutes too.

Seven pieces of poor play, including the two feeble efforts on goal, what the hell was that header all about? It would help if he moved his neck & headed the ball in at least the right direction.

Andrea Rossi (twitter) & Locky both knowledgable tacticians called it correctly at the beginning of the season, with their concerns on whether Piroe would fit Farke's system.

I don't like to be critical. He fluffed a couple of chances yesterday. As do several others. But his finishing is the one thing we've been praising him for.

He's a paradox. Top striker. But doesn't fit the lone striker role. His best moments for us have been when he's played 10, and still that's not his best position either.
