Bit confused on round about markings

This is the round about in question.
If I am coming from the B5199 and want to exit onto the A5080 (Roby Road), which is a single lane road, do I enter the round about on the left lane or the right?
The way I see it if I enter on the right lane then this gives traffic coming from Tarbock Road to enter the roundabout onto the left lane thus blocking my exit and whenever I enter the round about in the left hand lane from the B5199 I have somebody to the right of trying to make the same exit as me which then leads to abuse from them.
Anybody?

It's marked on the road right lane, it's an awful roundabout though & the trick there would be to get in the left lane between the exit to Tarbock road & the exit to Twickenham drive. Exiting from 5199 in the left lane is wrong & you'll leave your self open to problems with people coming from Roby road & exiting to Tarbock road.

Although I agree its marked right, how do you determine which exit to the left is applicable to being in the right hand lane, obviously not the first one, but as your taking the 4th exit, I would use the left hand lane, stops folk pulling out as you approach the exit before the one you want, and preventing you turning left.


^^ There's only three exits so left lane for first & second as marked & right lane for third as marked. I think it's an awful roundabout & think it's an accident waiting to happen & should be re-marked to clearly show which lanes are for which exits.
ETA. Three exits excluding the one he's joining from, before anyone starts
