Carey was part of the team that got relegated right?
Then he left yeah?
But Mayor uprooted, came to Argyle when other, bigger clubs were knocking, got promoted and is still our best creative outlet?
Have I got all that right? Just checking like

Mayor's balance and ball control certainly left the defender floundering, his feign and movement seem to be predetermined.
Both short clips suggest that as he was shaping to control the ball he did not seem able to see the position and the late change in the angle of approach by the defender. The defender made a major error in changing his angle of approach, probably in order to tackle, he should have kept himself between Mayor and the goal, a simple matter had he maintained his original angle of approach.
I am Mayor supporter.

There was another special 'see ya later' moment from Mayor last season, away at Crawley I think. It was right on the touchline.
It would be difficult to decide who is the best from Mayor, Lameiras and Carey. I think Carey was the more all rounder of the three - able to play in several positions, workrate, technique, more end product and goals.

You should have gone to Specsaves Oldy! :twisted:
Mayor approached the ball with a body position that he was going to take it back away from the opposition goal and find a safe backward pass.
Defender observes this so shuffles over to get nice and tight to the retreating Mayor.
Mayor was only joking, cancels the first touch, uses the pace of the ball and sprints in opposite direction.
Defender who was all prepared for the going backwards idea is all at sea, tries to follow but his shoulders and feet can't turn 90 degrees that quickly.
Mayor is gone and sets up Jephcott for the opener with the freedom of Central Park to pick out a teammate.
This is why it was worthy of applause and not just a standard slip due to the "wrong studs" on the day.

Exactly as I saw it. Even Byron changed direction thinking it was coming back to him.
The guy has such good close control.
Thankfully, he went on to control it and put in the cross. Unlike the few other occasions where he seems to have tourets of his foot and pushes it out of touch or too far in front of him.
Sublime and frustrating all in one go.

This is the epitome of: How full is your glass?
Carp defender slips over: glass half empty.
Mayor's sublime skill dumps a pro footballer on his 'arris: glass half full.
My glass is well supplied thanks. Cheers Danny. Cheers all! :stout:

The reason is your argument is ridiculous. He didn't just slip over, if he was nowhere near the ball and turned and fell over it would be a slip, but he fell because Mayor twisted him inside out. I'm not sure how you can see it any different.
As often the reality is in the middle. OK Mayor has flummoxed the defender with his twist. However it was hardly Cruyffesque. Pretty embarrassing for a professional footballer to be done so easily. Im sure Moore would have had words. Who was it? Wonder if he plays on Saturday!
