Brief Synopsis
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
It's very clear that despite recent good form and some of the talent on our books, they lack a bit of fight and spirit. We saw this in the Swindon game where despite a strong last 20 and better second half, it was a performance without real desire. I wasn't there today but it sounds like a similar story. We have some fancy players in Mayor, Cooper, Baxter etc. There is a slight cockiness and taking for granted feeling about this team as opposed to the kind of team(s) we are used to seeing Aargyle field. We are almost playing fantasy football in terms of how attacking we look to be and the will to win and work alongside that talent is missing a little bit I feel.

Quite right. Saves me replying to him. What an awful man, although chances are he's been on the pop.PL2 3DQ":3bnl0h55 said:
Desperately feeble stuff today, one of the worst Argyle performances in the last decade. Does nothing to dissuade me that Ryan Lowe is a bit of a chancer with some nice patter and a slick haircut.
How does Lowe motivate the opposition - he opens his mouth:
“Matty [Taylor] has done a terrific job up there. It’s a club that, without being disrespectful, it’s not like an Argyle, you know what I mean?”
That must have been gold dust for Matty Taylor. All he needed to do was pin that to to the whiteboard and his job was done.
He needs to think before opening his gob.

That was a Shameful Performance, reminds me of the latter part of last Season.

Lowe has limited experience as a manager and, frankly, it shows. The Jury is still out on him I think.

Every time Josh Grant plays he costs us a goal. Another Tafari Moore. Return to sender

Ive been banned for a week for less. A very arrogant individual. None so blind as those that wont see.
I had the ignominy of having to sit with the delirious Excreta fans all singing "can we play you every week".
Their penalty was soft. I thought it was shoulder to shoulder, and a number of Excreta fans were saying the same at half time. However, the tippy tappy thing to a marked man on the edge of our own penalty area gave them the opening, and it all went south from there.
We continued to play short passing at the back and Excreta, as with a number of other teams, were happy to let us do so and played a high, fast pressing game, piling on the pressure which often led to Palmer lumping it up to the forwards anyway. Our passes were more often than not wildly over hit and mis-placed. Joel Grant, who was getting pelters from the home fans could scarcely get control of the ball all afternoon. I do think the toxicity towards him, got to him.
Once the second goal went in, the Grecians were flying into challenges all over the park to keep us out. Fair play to them for showing the level of aggression I would have hoped we too would have.
The third goal was well taken by Williams, who had the kind of Lameiras touches which none of our players seemed capable of today.
Argyle fans were streaming out of the ground at this point and being waved cheerio in an excitable way all around me.
The fourth goal seemed likely and it came.
We were third best of the two teams. I think Mr Lowe has to recognise he does not have the quality ball players at the back for the way that he seems determined to play. It has costs us numerous points this season with more to come I suspect. Although we were second best in the first half, had we gone in at half time all square, there may have been a glimmer of hope for us. As one Excreta fan I overheard said at half time, "Argyle won't be that bad in the second half". Well he was wrong !

Why didn`t Mr Lowe field the same team that scored 4 in the first half on Tuesday and played with skill and energy? Oh wait, he did.
