Blackpool v Argyle Match thread

[Balham Green]

Anyone else feel as angry as I do. Lewis was clearly being targeted as a weakness by Blackpool after half time so Lowe should have subbed him straight away once we went 1-1. It was so obvious to me so I don’t know why Lowe can’t see it. I’m annoyed because albeit slim if we’d have beaten Blackpool we’d only be 6 points from the playoffs with 8 games to go.

Those defensive errors have effectively finished our season.

And now we're 8 points off the play offs. How about the load of our players that watched the ball trickle through them for Blackpool's first goal - maybe he should have subbed all of them straight away ?

Ah but that doesn’t fit today’s victimisation

So are you suggesting we are not allowed to criticise a player? Just asking... :silent:

As soon as Lewis kicked a ball, my car failed it's MOT.

Not at all. Just seems that the usual suspects are, as usual, hiding behind a keyboard to collectively have a real go at a young Argyle player who is expected to be perfect every game. But hey. I’m not such a football expert as you guys

So you don't think a professional footballer (on a lot of money from a Premier club I should add) should be expected to win a simple header for first goal and not be out of position for 2nd goal? You don't need to be an expert to see that. But you think we shouldn't have 'a real go'. Or should we? Make up your mind.

Don’t recall having a go at Lewis.. I said Lowe should have subbed him as soon as was obvious that Blackpool were targeting him as a potential defensive weakness of ours.

Whacko! from Edwards for our even older viewers!!
Nice one,Professor.

Tbh JIC, I didn’t have you in mind !

We are such a jekyll and hyde team.

If we could eliminate these poor second half displays, I’m sure we would be challenging for promotion.

Unfortunately we are a "one half" team and seem incapable of playing for 90 minutes. Opposing managers are also sussing out our weaknesses and exploiting them on a regular basis.

Thats what managers do. No shock there

Pity ours doesn't.Shock :facepalm:

Seems like you were expecting a promotion challenge this season.

I think you’ll find he predicted relegation.

I did not predict relegation but said, at a very early stage, I would settle for us remaining in this division but that doesn't suit either of your agendas.

 

[Lobster]

I wouldn’t say that any players let it trickle past them. The guy hit it past (I think) Woods from close range. No blame there. Then Cooper tried to save it and didn’t. He could probably have done better. But to say anyone apart from Lewis, who made two errors in a matter of seconds, was at fault for that goal is ridiculous.

Given then that it looks as though we will stay in this division, possibly by a double figure point cushion, why are you so critical of Lowe, his methods, and what he stands for?

Exactly. Oldage is the one with the agenda obviously.

I do not rate Lowe as much as some fans because I am not keen on his management style. I may be old fashioned but I would prefer him to manage rather than be " one of the boys" and rely less on stats and analysis. I am delighted that we are likely to maintain our status this season ,which I viewed as a write off because of the pandemic, but will be very surprised if Lowe can take us much further.It's all about opinions and time will tell .

Yes we definitely shouldn't be doing 'analysis'. Whatever next? :facepalm:
