IF today was a one off or even happened a few times this season then it wouldn't be so bad.
However, 9 games at HP with 1 win and two draws tells you most of the story. For the full picture remember last season at HP? Weren't we saying these things but in a weaker league?
Yet it will be OK if we beat Northampton, apprantely. Why is that acceptable when today we played a side you could see was low in confidence in the first half having not won in 6 games and gave them the initiative. Maybe if we were more postive we could get one or two more "decisions" in our favour.
If you look at the decision, Edwards is the wrong side of the player. Is clumsy at best with his hand on the players back.
We could debate that Argyle finished on top in the first half. We could debate the ref decision turned the game. However, doesn't that stop us debating the real crux of the issue. Just how bad DA's tactics were again at HP? Or why we had another poor result and performance at HP this season?
It's not just this season our home performances and results have been like this under DA. It's been for a considerable amount of time. Yet strangely people say beating Northampton will change once again how we perceive DA in the Argyle hot seat. Really? The guy uses the same tactics over and over again. They don't work at HP as results and especially performances have shown.
So when should we expect him to stop repeating the same mistakes at HP? When will it finally be fine to say the way you set up the team is too negative and dour? The football we play is poor? How many more games do we have to endure a "groundhog" day scenario before finally being so negative in our style of play will mean that this becomes unacceptable?
We may well win against Northampton because believe it or not they might be as bad as us. However, people said we turned the corner. Well that corner never materialised. We played backs to the wall football and grounded out a few results. That formula doesn't work at home unless we take the lead. If you don't think we are in massive trouble then look at our goal average compared to others. Don't score enough and concede many.
It paints the picture. However, that picture has been the same one we have been looking at for over 12 months. It's just as fans it's divided opinion as to just how priceless DA is and exactly what we are looking at
