Probably our best display of the season? A game of 2 keepers imho, one who had a cart load to do and was great, the other virtually sod all to do and conceded FACT. To me playing 1 up front at home is crazy, then our tactical genius put a second striker on with 2 mins to go.

Superb performance. Played his best team (in my opinion). We controlled the game, created enough chances. Solid enough at the back. Crowd in good voice. It was like last season and really the culmination of improvements in recent weeks.

Basically we had no luck at all. Mugged.

The simple fact we are at the moment unable to finish is whats costing us, Hardly surprising playing 1 up front imho. even with that rick Parish made we could and should have put the game safe.

Have to agree with you Cashy about one up front but Coleman talk,s about us having a good defence well we could learn a thing or two off Plymouth fantastic defending and keeping for their goal first Man of the match Beckles gives the ball away then we get it back and Pearson heads it straight at their player who threads a pass to a totally unmarked player first shot on target Parrish let's it through is legs, on the way out someone said we were unlucky sorry I replied you make your own luck in this game and capitalize on it as Plymouth did that's why they are top and we are in a relegation scrap. We need to pick ourselves up and move on as some of our play today was good but same old story in front of goal we need tour really start shooting harder putting the foot through the ball and stop trying to walk it in as for man of the match I thought O,Sullivan had his best game since returning.

We are playing the same formation as last year?

Kee up front with an attacking midfielder playing off him - last year that was Windass this year it's Boco.

First 30 mins we were good at defence. then 15 mins of a Stanley as we know they can play. sadly half time came at the wrong time for us. The second half was anybodies game and should have been ours. we had some chances and so had they, They got a bit more luck than us. We did almost everything right except score. They made three substitutes which did change the dynamic of the game, Our response was to take Rommy off and put shay on far too late, Terry Gornell with about 5 mins to go. Sadly throughout the game it was obvious we still have a communication problem. passing still a problem. Nobody seemed to quite know where the outlets should be. Tactically we were so easy to read and get round. If it was not for the fact that we have a good defence we would have been well beaten. Why can't the manager and assistant see what we can see. We lost this game today through Naive tactics. Why bring a sub on at the times we did and expect them to actually achieve something. There was not enough time for the players to warm up and get into the game. We do need to change things quickly, We did play well in patches but our goal threat was poor. Too many hit and hope balls. The clock is ticking.

Yep last year we had a much more potent midfield so in the main got away with it.

How did Plymouth play Cashy?,I genuinely thought they were average at best the other week

Crown Grounder · 17-12-2016, 18:29

Football is all about little things....fine margins ......we desperately need a new keeper in the transfer window .....between his legs three times this season so far under his body twice. He's a liability. I work in Blackpool with a lot of Blackpool fans, they were surprised we signed him as they said he used to make all these kind of mistakes for them. I didn't believe them. Now I do.

Have to say, i have always preferred Chapman, after watching both pre-season, ok hes no Joe Hart but much better in my view, Parish also throws out a lot of very dodgy balls to defenders in my view, rather than boot up the park.

Agree Cashy, Chapman's not perfect but better.

Well, for my two pennyworth I have to say the best team definitely lost today - don't know if Argyle underestimated us in the first half but on that display how on earth they are top of the league is beyond me!
Their goal, even according to their press people behind us was totally against the run of play but when you're at the top you get all the luck & when you're struggling you get the ****ty end of the stick - still can't believe we got nothing from today's game, gutted for the lads who each & every one gave their all

DAV007 · 17-12-2016, 20:30

accymad,

you create your own luck

overall a good performance, hopefully we can do the same next week but with a different result
