Gillingham v Argyle match thread

[plymade]

Same old!

 

[Cobi Budge]

We have to work so, so hard to create even half chances, all of which we miss, whilst our opponents barely have to lift a finger to create a clear cut chance, which they convert. It’s been the case all season.

Fornah seems to struggle to make clean contact with the ball in some games

Can you explain what you mean? I haven't seen that.

For a player who has been man of the match on a few occasions for his composed passing, I’ve noticed in the latter stage of the season and the first part of this game, his passes seem quite panicked. He seemed to ‘spoon’ a couple of attempted clearances.

Confidence and the defence behind him.

Would we rather be 10th playing under Steve Evans?

I suppose it depends whether your only interested in points now, or whether you want to get there playing football in the longer term.

Yes. Or Ainsworth. I don't mind what we play as long as it gets results.

Our football under Lowe was supposed to be 'pretty' but losing 6-0 at home is never pretty.

I respect your honesty, but for me that's old Argyle, and we've never made it with Couchlan, Pulis etc...time for a new approach and a bit of long term vision.

Doncaster 0 Peterborough 4 going to the Championship in style

 

[PilgrimLew]

This team is crying out for some experience, strength and aggression, hopeful that we’ll get that during the transfer window.

They are so much bigger than us all they need to do is sling it in.

Agreed.

Is Cooper really as good as he is made out to be ?

I preferred Palmer- more of a physical presence and better at crosses.

I completely understand the opposing viewpoints as well. Maybe it's a bit of 'you always want what you can't have'.

In this case what we can't have is clean sheets and a bit of gamesmanship ('cheating').

Maybe it's also a bit of wanting what works in this division. We're not in the Premiership so slick-quick passing out from back isn't necessarily what is required for league one success.

I freely admit I'd also be moaning if these alternative tactics didn't work either!

I personally wouldn’t want either of those two managing my club no matter how successful! Each to their own I suppose?
