Nottingham Forest - Stoke City

[Plymouth red]

Always go back to that game against Charlton after Leeds game. Such massive optimism off the back of one of the best performances of the season. He rested a number of key players and we lost. Since that defeat we've barely got going.

January was a disaster in terms of recruitment. We let two capable defenders leave and replaced them with bargain basement garbage. Bong!! Is he still alive.? Diakhaby - hard to see how he even fits the description of footballer.

We never got anyone capable of taking the pressure off Grabban for goals and too reliant on a handful of players to perform.

The nature of these last few weeks was always going to put pressure on our threadbare squad and looking at the bench tonight - it told.

So now, rather than looking at play offs we are looking at another rebuilding job. Some of these will need to be sold to allow us to strengthen in depth.

But I fear that was our best chance for awhile.
