Argyle match thread
 

Never done one of these! Fishy site says, "Live text commentary," but no link up to now. :(

Perhaps I am being too previous but as I am still in chilly Accrington hoping that some noble souls will keep us informed.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Dan normally starts it about 15 minutes before kick-off. But watch this space.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

My thoughts we need Linds Beef?

Re: Argyle match thread
 

:) Yep MikeA:)

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Played a couple of games there at the end of last season - Proccy role, box to box - and was good. Just what we need away from home and in need of points.

:) :) :)

Re: Argyle match thread
 

blue and yeller today, lucky colours or not then?

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Do you mean Liddle or Lindfield, Cashy? I see Leam is sticking with captain sensible in midfield, though I would prefer to see Dixon in his place for a measure of dynamism. He could also give the Pickler problems if he plays for Argyle.! Give Deano the armband with the status to bollock his fellow defenders if need be.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Lindfield mate, agree Dino shoulda got the armband back on his return in my eyes.;)

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Lids left back

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Tough game,but really should have been three up at half-time ,rommy missed from two yards and was later filling in at right back.Linney also went off with a bad knock.
Looking forward to journey home,it's ****ing down !!!!

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Agree about the time wasting and that Belford was the main culprit almost from the beginning of the match. Until Hunt's injury I thought Plymouth were there for the taking but after that Stanley seemed to settle for the draw. I would have liked to see a bit more ambition and thought that although Carver let defenders know he was around with his pace he still seems a bit lightweight for this level of football at the moment. Thought Beattie was a handful and that Lindfield had a good game on the right before both injuries but as someone who doesn't get to see Stanley much at the moment we look desperate for somebody to get hold of the ball in midfield.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Plymouth fans mostly seem to agree that we outfought and out footballed them for most of the game but they also mostly took exception to our time wasting and play acting. I hope we don't go down that road even when we are desperate to get points on the board. This is what new manager Keith Hill had to say about where things had gone wrong at Spotland, and where plenty of their fans were fed up with Coley and Jimmy's seeming endorsement of a lack of discipline, rather than the points lost recently:-

“It is quite evident – without me being suggestive and having ex-managers phoning me up and saying ‘What are you doing slagging me off? – that a lot of the foundations we laid have been undone.
“There’s an identity I believed was Rochdale Football Club and I want to recreate that identity in my own image again.
“We created an identity and also created a self respect that was endorsed by other clubs up and down the country.
“I am looking bring back that self respect and to win back the respect from other clubs for the way we do things.”

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Does this mean that Mr Hill wants to unload all the ex Stanley players? If so, I won't disagree to Phil Edwards and Terry Gornell returning.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Whilst it appears our lads are being critised by the whole of Plymouth and the Argyle fans, as usual they don't let the facts get in the way of a good moan!!

1) in the first few minutes Linny was smashed last by an Argyle player who was correctly yellow carded. Craig was fouled numerous times during the game as was withdrawndue to injury. Left Plymouth on crutches to keep the weight off his leg
2) Luke Joyce onley received a nasty blow to the head, but supposedly is feigning injury.
3) We loose a player to an accidential clash, but he needs 10 mins of on pitch treatment from doctors and paramedics before being transfered to hospital. Of course at that stage we just what to get through the game and find out how our player, their team mate is. we hardly are likely to be rushing and risking making a mistake are we??
4) other knocks and bangs to contend with.

5) No yellow cards to in the eyes of the referee, we did nothing wrong!! Yet Plymouth had 2 booked.
We'll get through this under the leadership of Leam, who once again kept his dignity and composure, and with a little big of luck Beatts could have nicked 3 points in the last minute:)

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Thought we controlled large parts of the game and our team selection looked to give us a bit more in terms of experience.I thought putting liddle in was a good move,he did a job on there dangerous right winger,whilst the new lad give him cover to get forward,which he did on numerous occasions.
Same with Linney,who was giving us width,and playing well,until he was subject to a few iffy tackles.
Not really a fan of 4-4-2 away from home,but it did pin them back in the first half,But I feel better teams will punish us,as it left us light in the middle.
Then again,it's a clean sheet,which is the foundation for a result,and the centre backs were solid.
Hunts and linneys injuries upset the balance,but we showed a lot of heart.
The acci huddle at the start of the game,shows there is a desire and togetherness,which hopefully will carry us thro the next couple of difficult games.
Regarding young carver,I think he's one for the future,although you can't fault his attitude.
I would still like to see Grey being given a chance,we beat blackburn,3-0 on Thursday (sunny played for them),and he scored two and carver one,so he could be a bit of a trump card.
Meant Dunny !!!!!

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Plymouth fans accusing other clubs of cheating. Doesn't Nick Chadwick play for Plymouth ? :rolleyes:

Re: Argyle match thread
 

He's on the payroll!!

Serving a 6 game ban from memory.

Could easily have got a 2nd yellow in the Rahubka incident for feigning injury!! Seems our "friends" in Plymouth have selective memories when to comes to such things!!:(

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Is it just coincidence that both of our games v plymouth had more than their fair share of controversy, albeit for different reasons, & were presided over by the same referee?

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Agree RR,but once we lost key players,and they started to get a foot hold in the game,it was obvious we would settle for a point,and these things happen.
Slowing the game down upsets there momentum and frustrates them,so job done really,not pretty,but effective,and a few teams have done it to us

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Stanley is in desperate need of points to survive in the league,
when we do well and get a point albeit by protecting that point by the tactics of time wasting,
we should be applauding,
if we were 1 nil up in a cup game and took the ball into a corner of the pitch to run the clock down, we would not be complaining, every point we get is as vital as that cup game scenario

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Can agree up to a point, But wasting time from virtually the start (as claimed) is a bit much in my view.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

I think the problem for me is that three points were there for the taking. Yes, the disruption caused by the injuries didn't help and the Plymouth fans reaction to the injuries to Joyce and Lindfield were outrageous but Belford was time wasting from the word go and whilst any point away from home is a good one I came away feeling that it was two points dropped rather than one gained and those two points could be vital by the end of the season. I was talking to a Plymouth fan on the way back to the car who couldn't understand why we had come for a point when we could so easily have taken all three. It may be a confidence issue after the recent run and, if so, i hope it helps us to push on. I just hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Not really, mate. There is a big difference in keeping possession when the ball is in play, and when it is out of play.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

If time wasting is persistent when the ball is out of play the Ref. has the option of issuing warnings, yellow cards, and by adding time on for such offences, if the Ref didn’t take any action then blame the Ref,
I agree it isn’t the kind of play we want to see from Stanley but it’s a case of every point is a point nearer to survival

Re: Argyle match thread
 

I know theres a few of us like a good moan,but we are not giving the team enough credit for a battling performance,instead we are talking about time-wasting !!!.
We dominated the first half and should have gone in with a lead,against a team with a new manager,few new players who were trying to create a impression.
Yes,our performance may have warranted three points,so lets be positive on a much improved display.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

If you try to keep possession when the ball's out of play you may well find yourself being kicked by one of the other side's players ......:o

Well, if you're Welsh you might ................:D

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Any update on how Nicky Hunt is?:confused:

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Good to see that Nicky Hunt was discharged from hospital yesterday - Reds? relief as Hunt is able to leave hospital (From Lancashire Telegraph) - thought I though the fishy site would have been updated with this info ... we all remember the Tom Bender episode :(

Leam obviously wasn't too concerned about the head injury ... "I’m sure he’ll pop his head in at the club at some point this week"!

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Cheers fer that Whalley Red, Leams probably battling like hell before the transfer window shuts? must be hardest job in league given our position financially.:eek:

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Re: Argyle match thread
 

Question, I have heard that Plymouth was Nicky Hunt's last game of his loan spell, yet the fishy site saying he will continue training with t'reds. Can someone please update me with the situation and if he is staying - great.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

It don't actually say who he will be playing wi outback? unless i'm reading it wrong.

Re: Argyle match thread
 

back to being transparant, then ?

Re: Argyle match thread
 

this BBC report say's it's Hunt's last game for us but things do change very quickly
