That was my take on the game, only when Roy added three of our first pick mid fielders was the fat pulled out of the fire. If anyone has doubts that this squad needs filling out , surely that first 55 minutes must tell them that it does..
Imagine if the four that came on were not available , or got injured in a run of games, and had to be replaced by the players that came off tonight, the boot would be on the other foot , and it doesn’t look good.

Three good finishes from Mateta and he shoots like he means it as opposed to Edouard whose placed attempts are often blocked or easily read.
Mateta probably isn't the answer for us and he may well leave, but he's not a bad finisher if presented with chances.

What would we do without Eze? The strikers did well , but only because that boy opened Plymouth up and had a hand in the goals.

Well done lads.
It's stressful enough with Palace without not being able to enjoy a win like that. I don't care who it's against we have to be happy with 4 away goals (and 1 disallowed) especially after being 2 down.

My first game for a long time and three things really stood out:
Edouard can't jump
Eze frightens opponents.
Ayew is underrated

There were at least 4 opportunities to put Edouard through but the ball was played wide. Give him a better feed and see what happens.

I was there as well, and Dwight Gayle scored a hat trick in the first half.
