Watching this game with piqued interest to see what all the complaints are about from Plymouth fans about Waine (man, are they plentiful). 

Talk about a scapegoat - every misplaced cross, every high ball, every loose touch is somehow Waine's fault. Twitter in particular is a cesspit.

Had a decent game so far today, feeding off scraps

Plymouth fans with bad takes? Doesn’t seem likely…😁

Had a lively 10 minutes and was finally just getting into the game and he gets subbed. Don’t think Whittaker rates him much! Not seen him pass the ball to him, or celebrate together when there’s a goal or any such. 

While not the finished article, definitely didn’t look out of place. Particularly with ball at feet he dropped deep and laid off to start an attack a number of times. Linked very well. Not as comfortable in the air holding up kick offs or winning possession. He pressed quite well from the front and they nearly created opportunities from his turnovers twice. He won a couple of free kicks. 

Also not getting, in this game, much in the way of through ball to run on to or ball at feet facing forward. Miller seemed a bit wasteful in possession there at times. 

Bit irritating to start to get going and get dragged, but nice to start.
