don't know how you can say Chapmans any better, look at the goal at Orient last week ball came over about the six yard line, Chapman rooted on his line, should have been his ball.

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

Yes, you do create your own luck but I still stand by my comment that if you're riding high that luck is easier to come by- we rode ours at times last season, no doubt about it & hopefully we'll get a bit of it this time round, the lads certainly deserve it especially after a performance like today's

I must of been watching a different match, my thoughts were how the hell did we end up losing the match, after this display their goalkeeper will be nickname golden balls, JC must think the gods are against him, still when the disappointment of the result subsides I will most probably take comfort from our performance

Best home performance in a long time.
Desperately need a fox in the box and maybe a big lad alongside in January.
OSullivan and Clark did well out wide.
Just don't think we get the ball out to them quick enough.
Plymouth not in my top three of sides I've seen this season.
On to the next one ......

Could think of other names for their keeper - most not printable, I know he did his time but imo the likes of McCormack should not be back plying their trade in the public eye

He served less than the family of the two young boys he killed.

Exactly!

I thought we played well for most of the match; better than Plymouth. Our weakness, as many have already said, was our finishing. There were too many wild shots from the edge of the area when a pass to someone in an attacking position would have been a better option.

It reminded me of Eric, leaning on the barrier next to me at Knowsley with a crowd of just 83, saying 'He wants to be the bl**dy 'ero', as Brian Welch blasted over the bar when it would have been easier to pass.

Well the table doesn't lie. It's no stroke of luck Argyle are a top side. Playing away from home in the first half they sat back for 45 minutes soaking up the pressure playing on the counter. What a side! We can't do that. Then in the second half their manager changed the tactics, went 4-4-2 with impact subs creating a few chances taking one of them. Great performance from a well set up team. They deserve to be promoted, good luck to them. We huff and puff but are ineffective ... can't score, make mistakes every game and have a dodgy keeper. Plymouth weren't lucky, just know how to win.

if you don,t score you don,t win. simple. didn,t go yesterday but does sound same old story. can,t score and soft goal going in. at least it wasn,t a free kick again. big changes needed in january as we need someone to replace the 20 odd goals we lost in the summer.

Exactly !. It's quite simple really, they score goals, keep clean sheets and are sitting on top of the league. Whilst at present the Reds don't score goals, don't keep clean sheets, and now languish in what some may describe as a perilous spot one place above an even more perilous situation.
Not being altogether convinced by this discussion as to whether good or bad luck really does exist, and if it does can be applied to League football ?. I am however convinced that this elusive element cannot be seen as having any overbearing effect on the team's performances and ensuing results.

Quo vadis Stanley ?.

Good post as I said earlier in the thread we could leasrn off Plymouth and their management our sub's far to late to have any impact.

Is the art/skill of substitution on the curriculum for coaching badges?

I don't think Terry touched the ball after he came on, and I doubt whether Shay had many more.

Despite the gloom, there is a ray of light on the evidence of yesterday's performance. We now have two out-and-out wingers who are willing to take on their full back, beat him and then cross the ball. What happens after that is a different matter altogether. The player to be on the end of those crosses is surely GTF.

[QUOTE=for their goal first Man of the match Beckles gives the ball away then we get it back"and Pearson heads it straight back"
"as for man of the match I thought O,Sullivan had his best game since returning.[/QUOTE]

Andy - I know it's probably irrelevant and petty but who the hell picks the man of the match ?
Is it in Beckles contract that he has to win it regardless or is he someone's love child ?

I always thought sponsers picked MOM?
