I’d stick Tresor on the bench on Friday. Deffo has the ability to be a game changer.

Good... I want to see what Tresor can do.
That proved a disappointment... My stream started breaking-up and I barely saw five minutes - neither of the goals! - in total of ET. :x

I didn't see anything wrong with him . Contributed to the win and didn't give the ball away when we were 3-1 up .

Tresor was just conserving his energy for his bob sled run later tonight...

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, it's magic Mike Tresor time!

A team of

Trafford

Roberts CJ esteve Humphreys

Cullen Laurent brownhill

Tresor Flemming foster

Would cause serious damage but a team like that won’t happen

There was a point where he just stood still in the middle of the pitch with hands on both knees and almost slumped over
Didn't seem to have the strength to track back and support Humphries

Tresor is definitely not fit but my lord he is a country mile the best winger we have at the club.

You saw it in such a short spell, his passing, dribbling and just all round technical ability is levels above.

If we could keep him and get him fit I Truly believe he will be the difference for us

Very strange from Tresor at the end. Looked completely spent.

I think we now see clearly with what has played today in wide positions what we have lacked all season.

We either have to play those players, or sign others. It also hasn’t escaped my attention that Morgan Whittaker produced the upset of the day at PL Brentford with a mazy run inside and a long range left foot finish. That is also something we lack without Benny.

Wow. Pleased for a lot of our 'reserve' players there. Particularly the Magician. Hope Parker and Co can rehabilitate him!!!

I could understand the Tresor questions not continuing to be asked of Parker, whilst he wasn’t involved, now though, perhaps a few more will be asked and we may receive a little more insight.

I suspect, it’s more likely that it’ll just become even more intriguing!

Not quite sure as to whether Whittaker will be so effective in the Championship. When they were showing his goal on the BBC the presenter kept emphasising “Every Championship club knows not to let Whittaker get on to his left foot.” Fortunately for Plymouth, and Whittaker, they were playing Brentford who allowed him to run right across the pitch with the ball on his left foot until an opening appeared.

There’s a few minutes left in a game we’re winning 3-1. It’s called game management.
To be fair, I wasn't having a go at him, I just did not think game management required hands on knees every time you are off the ball. Made it looks like he was shattered.
