Brief synopsis
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
Croll is not up to this level on what I've seen so far.
By far the worst performance for a long while. Brunt, and Nelson, were the only players to emerge with any credit.
Mystery to me how we let someone like Cox go on loan. Tyler Harvey - why do people think he has a future at the club?

Tyler was his usual self in that he tried but did very little in terms of making a meaningful contribution.Steve Evans":1t5wup6i said:
However, there were a number of players who were even less effective.
Mellor had another of those games that are becoming all too regular.
Wilde was a complete waste of time, why does Adams pick him every week but then drag him off early time and time again? His use of the ball is absolutely dreadful. He never gets past his full back and instead, usually releases the ball too early with a poor cross to nobody or with a pass inside that is easily intercepted or shoots from a ridiculous distance.
Simpson was totally ineffective yet again. Where is the player that was so highly regarded at Crawley?
Tanner ran around a lot but to no effect, constantly giving the ball away from a poor pass or by running straight into defenders. He is a one trick pony who has to cut inside on to his left foot every time, no matter how much space there is outside. He is so easy to play against because he always cuts inside and runs into defenders along the edge of the box, losing possesion and often setting up a counter attack against us; he is the epitome of the headless chicken. When he does get into good areas with time and space via a good pass from Carey, his use of the ball is shocking. He really needs to be left out for a few weeks to think about his game.
Croll had a 'mare today, but he was a young lad up against an old Pro who ran him ragged and gave a masterclass in playing up front on your own; if only Jervis could play like that.
Lucky draw....pretty much agree with previous posters although I feel it's not all that simple to blame Croll...that's the whole point... if you think about it he was on the ball far too much compared to lets say a midfielder like McHugh who was very poor and Simpson who was worse.... wayward passes are on many occasions as a result of a lack of midfield. The basics are...we miss Boateng....that's all folks.

Crap performance. Aimless hoofs and misplaced passes shot us in the foot, I know we've got injuries to key players but we still had a team out there to have beaten Dagenham.
Hopefully the break will do us good and we will come back to the Cambridge stronger. We bloody well need to!

Lost commentary on Argyle Player - the opposition score !!
NOT for the first time either.
Up until then Messrs Sparks and Errington DID their level best to keep the audience entertained as the crass fare being served up on the pitch was unworthy of any serious football comments.
At 1-0, I decided to turn in as it was gone midnight.
Some thoughts of mine at the moment -
Has the bubble burst ?
Is the bubble losing its attraction and buoyancy ?
Is the attention and pressure "at the top" taking its toll ?
Is this squad good enough to counteract absence to key players ?
IF this IS the real chance of "escape to better football", can James Brent be coerced into a "speculate to accumulate" mode a few more times ?
I hear this 2 week break will give us time to regroup/recover/whatever - will it be THAT simple ?
From afar this is your Chinese correspondent signing off......................
Keep the Faith :scarf:

Couldn't believe it when Bentley was clearly told he's not good enough, and Croll brought in: why?
Didn't think it did much for team spirit, either.
Good to see we got a draw out of the game with 4 of "our own" on the pitch - Purrington, Walton, Harvey, Nelson - can't beat it, for me.

Does anybody know what happened to the bloke who got stretchered out of the away end by the London Ambulance Service?Nice to see Brent walking from his seat in the stand to show his concern and support but not so nice to see/hear the w&@£&rs who thought this was an opportune moment to abuse Brent.

But we won!!!!!! ... article on the club site today...
DESPITE a last-gasp winner in Argyle’s 1-1 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge, manager Derek Adams was not about to overlook his side’s sub-par display away from home.

Seeing as his beloved 'ammers are playing at Old Trafford this afternoon, Alf Garnett obviously had nowhere else to go on a Saturday afternoon.

All I heard from Dagenham fans/Dagenham's website & twitter etc was that Brunt's effort took a huge, cruel deflection. I've watched it back a few times, I'm struggling to spot the deflection, if there is one, it's minor, great strike.
