Flying V Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Huge improvement from the games before Sunderland, not messing about at the back now, plus closing sides down deep in there half. I quite enjoyed the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_vinyl_frontier Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I've been critical of us recently, but I enjoyed that. We played it fairly well and we had some decent attacks and never looked like conceding. We were unlucky not to win, especially with that stonewall penalty in 90th min 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandypants has a point here, and if you will indulge me for a moment, I will explain why. My lad is only 9 years old, I have been greatful that he has wanted to come to Hillsborough now for a few seasons. Today he just got fed up of watching the game. We had a chat, which is nice, even when we were pushing on and looking like we might get something, he was "nah, not gonna happen" It wasn't only a borefest, it was predictably so. Which is disgraceful with the players we have at our disposal. Their best player on the pitch today? We gave away as a free transfer, released from his contract. Says it all. Our players lack desire, and that comes from management I am afraid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Just watched my local team St Albans beat Forest Green 3-2, coming back from a goal down - I’m certainly not used to seeing that! It was far more entertaining than the dull affair at Hillsborough today. Committed fans might regard today as a decent performance, especially in comparison with some of the absolute tripe served up this season, but how on earth are we going to attract a new generation of fans playing like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watto Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think if you play like that against Shrewsbury , Gillingham etc it's a poor lacklustre performance but cause it's Plymouth riding high top of the league it's decent , think that's how Wednesday fans see it.

hirstys_achilles Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Plymouth are a decent side. We were too cautious at the start but second half we had more confidence and could have won the game. With a bit of luck we would have won. Don't think our standard has been lowered by mediocre performances prior to today's game. I now starting to see what this team can do. Its still early days and taking the amount of time we all thought it would take. If after Christmas we still seeing us playing like this then it's taking too long. But for me the last few games we getting better slowly but surely. If you enjoyed chatting to your mates then it's your choice. But if you expect miracles Hillsborough is not the right place for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems only 4 of them were on target, I don't recall many gilt-edged ones that were fired off target so I think many of those 17 may have been classed as 'speculative'. Some times stats like this don't tell the whole picture - your stats also show we had 14 shots when we lost 3-0 to Plymouth - only 3 less than today - but few who saw any of it will say we deserved anything better than they comprehensive defeat we got.

Can someone please tell me how Moore is taking us forward because that was too cautious again. Must have watched a different game to me because I thought it was a good performance, especially second half, it's the finishing that let us down. We played team that's top of league if you forgot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I watched the match late on as I was travelling, afterwards saw some incredible negativity on Twitter, you'd think we got absolutely spanked by a pub team, don't get it, they battered us last time around, they're 15 unbeaten and we went toe to toe with them and fairly comfortably matched them, was a decent performance IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 When I started reading the OP, I thought it was going to be about the first half, not the entire match. First half was dour. A few panics aside, we weren’t troubled, but offered little up front. Second half was totally different, especially after Dele and Gregory came on. It was a decent 45 minutes, only lacking a couple of goals. And for the most part, we were the better side, most likely to score. I came away disappointed with a draw, but not in the same sense as after Lincoln or Cambridge. We are improving in many areas of the pitch. Fingers crossed for Byers and Luongo getting some minutes on Tuesday; Windass to get back soon. Time for a bit more positivity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Was the side Plymouth put out yesterday they full strength first team or was it the reserves? I don't know enough about Plymouth to know. You can talk about number of shots but we rarely looked like scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
