Plymouth @ Home 16th February

I’m glad you agreed with me Jon.

 

Yeah I thought that the pilot had clearly got his flight path a bit wrong.

 

Believe It was a Airbus turbo prop military cargo plane, A400M not a passenger plane

 

You not watched Kai Bruenker then?

 

I'm not,I will give my full support this season and every season in the future what ever division we are in.

 

Our form has taken a massive downturn since he left

 

Bradford City fans are really losing their ambition.

How can anyone applaud that?

Football is for 90mins and for 45 mins we were shocking.

Plymouth we're extremely unlucky not to go in 1-0 up after hitting the post (people seem to forget this)

In the second half I firmly believe that Plymouth were happy playing for a point and sat off. At the end Plymouth were celebrating like they had won which backs up my point.

Yes, we had a few chances in the 2nd half(Doyle & Ball) . You're making out the Plymouth keeper had a worldie! He didn't he made one good save!

In 2 games we played good for 45mins - that is bloody unacceptable!

 

Impressive if Butterfield managed to book one of them for the flyover.

 

It was a key save from O'Donnell to give him his credit. Good save.

I think on the balance of it we would have deserved the win. Plymouth defended resolutely and deserve credit for that. The key chance for me was Ball's when he did so well to bring it down on his chest, it looked like he opted to pass rather than shoot which was an odd one.

My concern is that since January both Payne & O'Brien have struggled. O'Brien set such high standards so you can understand a drop off with a player in his first full season but Payne is a worry. I liked Butterfield in that deeper role and Clarke providing some width but whether that will be possible in every match, I'm not sure. Walsall are in some awful form so I'd love to see us go there with a positive set up like we did on Saturday.

 

that first half was depressing. saying it was absolutely god awful doesn't do justice to how bad it was. it was only the fact it was 0-0 that kept me there at half time. if their effort that hit the post had bounced in I'd have left

and missed the much much better second half performance - I'm still at a loss to explain how we didn't score. if we could play like that, for 90 minutes, every week we would be fine.
I thought Clarke played well. Doyle was quiet for the most part, but looked very threatening in the last 20 or so minutes. he has been very disappointing all season and yet he's still our best option up there. another glowing indictment of our recruitment policy.
why does Payne get subbed off every week? has he completed the full 90 for us yet?

anyway - we really should have won, and the fact we haven't has dealt survival hopes a major blow. to only take a point from 2 home games against Fleetwood and Plymouth is no where near good enough - it's looking ominous. we have to go to Walsall and win.

 

Starting to think Hopkin takes Payne off every week to prove a point to the crowd.

The point being we needed back up for him.

If he brought Payne off to go 2 up top you might kind of understand but he doesn't.

Problem is mate we don't play like that for 90mins. Our team lacks pace, tempo and leadership.

We must beat Walsall now! Have too. No excuses.
