Don't know how anyone can say with a straight face Chong will never be good enough, he's a quality player, when he gets over the initial bedding in period he'll be fine for the first team.

Idiotic challenge by Doncaster's Gomes, Laird's lucky to walk away without an injury there.

Kovar single-handedly kept us in it for the first 20 minutes but after that we were in control. Greenwood looking a lot like his usual self, dropping deep and spraying passes, carrying it well and basically going for goal whenever he gets a half yard of space.

Chong's been brilliant, Devine's been really good too.

Pretty good bar for the first 20 minutes. Please stop playing Mellor so deep, he's useless there and it doesn't suit his strengths at all. He just looks awkward carrying the ball and passing.

We're massively missing Garner and Levitt. The 3 man midfield is what makes this side and we're being killed in the midfield. Puigmal is anonymous and Galbraith is up and down but being over run. Mellor looks lost most of the time. Chong and Greenwood look class every time they touch the ball but it's few and far between due to those behind them.

rest Martial? He needs games he's hardly played all season.
well needs to be managed to avoid another injury - playing 3 times in a week doesnt seem a good idea to me because he has to start against Bournmouth,

His injuries are never a result of over using him, quite the opposite annoyingly. We need to get our moneys worth before the next two month lay off.

Chong is definitively a good player but he needs to be loaned out for at least 1.5 years to mature more

Awww Kovar normally so good, but a total blunder puts us behind. Been coming though.

We've got no control of the game, missing Garner and Levitt.

Oh Kovar, that's an absolute howler.

He won’t be impressed with that mistake, I don’t think we have tested their keeper yet, edit we just did

Surprised to see Greenwood start - I would have rested both Martial and Rashford tomorrow
I think Ole is giving Greenwood some minors games again, he's not looked great in a little while, no doubt its draining his confidence, and we need him to "feel it"

What a goal by Galbraith! But how can they not see Mellor's position? Gives away the ball far too often. A liability in his position.
