Great at relieving the pressure when he shields ball and they foul him. That Pedro fella was getting done every time. |

100%. You can’t just run around like a mad dog unless you’re the centre forward. Got to hold position. We got thumped vs Boro because Morgan was running around like crazy and left Varane by himself. Madsen does deserve criticism for other performances but not tonight. |

I don’t know what his stats are but he seems to break up loads of attacks. Gets a leg, head, knee in, slows down the attacks. |

Madsen thought Lloyd was going for it. Lloyd wasn’t screaming for lack of effort just normal football “that’s your ball”. Madsen was ok, not great. But we can’t just say he was rubbish in that game because of other games. |

Ashby was poor. But Madsen did nothing wrong. You can’t judge him in this game based on other performances. Field and Nardi were probably at fault for the goal. |

Les was here for 9 years and Hoos for 8. Nourry has been here for 1. I don’t think Les or Hoos got much criticism in first couple of years or so. |

I don’t necessarily disagree with some of the changes. But would Marti have played that team if it was a league game? Pretty certain Dunne, Nardi, Frey, Smyth and Morgan would have all played. And potentially Fox. That’s 5-6 changes. So, he didn’t take it as seriously as a league game. That’s fine if that’s what he thinks but he should say that. Previous managers have got pelters for similar decisions. |

He’s never developing here to end up playing for Newcastle. I think his contract is up at the end of the season. We’ve basically got a season long trial with him. |

Young compared to Kakay vs Millwall He’s just turned 23 and has played what 20 championship games ? Kakay played 100. Ridiculous comparison [Post edited 11 Jan 19:48]

Well we lost 3-0 to Swansea and then had 3 excellent results. Main issues are 1) Madsen just doesn’t seem up to it and 2) who do we pick as centre halves and right back. Other than Dunne, who are the other 2 for Plymouth? |

The strength from the bench won that. And of course the fight from every one of them. To a man their effort was superb. |

Still not “erratic” though which was the point made. Varane primary purpose is there to protect the back 4 not create. |

Think he’s being too cautious since then. He raced back to try to get to Chakvetadze and should have taken him out but decided to not give away free kick and get a yellow. Then ball layed off and we conceded. It’s a tough one as he does the foul and it’s free kick in dangerous position but think we were very stretched so take one for team. |

For me his impact is shown when not playing. We looked open and lost against 3 poor teams in a row, Hull, Derby and Portsmouth. All 3 are poor sides. We need to have someone who just sits in front of back 4 to provide a shield. |

Well if that’s his attitude, we should definitely get rid of him. |

Needs to go end of season. Don’t care if he comes back and does well. We need to have players who can stay fit. |

I totally agree we only get likes of JCS and Adel because they have other “issues”. But Morrison played 30 games for Wigan last season and has had surgery this season. Playing him every game since wasn’t sensible but was necessary. |
