Re: To be a Pilgrim..Home v Plymouth Sat 12th March. 3-0'clock.
I'm really looking forward to this one. They're a good footballing side and I'm hoping we can show them this time, that we are too.
Mentally, I've checked out of any remaining play off hopes and I'm savouring that rare occasion of an almost meaningless, almost end of season game. Of course 5 minutes in and the first bad decision by the ref and I'll be effing and jeffing with everyone else.
2-2 draw

Have to hope for more than a point from a draw. Slim hope I know, but its a true test against a classier side than the last lot. We'll know a lot more when the final whistle goes, but it's a case of how good is our best shot? Time to find out.

Is it safe to come out and talk yet?
Yesterday France played Wales at rugby and the two sides were so evenly matched that only four points separated them at the end. Great defensive work by both kept the scores so low.Our game against the Pilgrims might just turn out to be the same and it's absolutely essential that if we get a glimmer of a chance, we take it. I may be entirely wrong about the score, but we need to be top-notch defensively as much as offensively.
I.E is banging the brave music drum,but we'll need to be really on our game. The Pilgrim's progress (sorry) , seven points and five places better than our own, also includes two losses in the last five games, so all is possible. Anyone not up to the mark today, risks being free transferred to Wythenshawe Fire Brigade XI . Get on it then lads..Amen
COME ON YOU WHITES...!....

Aggressive looking bench. Thought Sadlier might have got a start. Still no sign of Dempsey?

This is dreadful. Plymouth edging it. Sounds like a morgue.

Stats are looking in our favour at the moment. Fully end to end game here and both sides look well up for it.

Hardly
Edit they go one up.
To say I am shocked would be an understatement.
Flat, boring long ball bollocks.
Jones missing again. Aimson gives nothing on the wing. Puts us out of shape all over.
Getting bored of it.

Johnston busy holding and not jumping at the back post. Felt like a free header but definitely wasn't. Either way too easy a goal to concede. Might just be a good kick up the arse we need.Admin-DJBlu wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 3:41 pmThis is dreadful. Plymouth edging it. Sounds like a morgue.
Gethin Jones is a massive miss for us with those inside runs.

Conceded a header from a set piece. Still some serious problems to iron out.
Let's see how we tackle one at which we have been quite good recently: coming from behind. It's a pity we have to do it.

Stats don't reflect this one to me. Plymouth always going to be the first to score. Creating so much room in midfield. Poor defending from Johnston on the corner. 0-1

Bringing us down with a bump this. Plymouth are very very good. Much better than we are. Showing our huge deficiencies in midfield and at the back. You aren’t going to go up without a better midfield and someone who is able to run it. We need that midfield player. The one who covers ground all over the park and has real physcial presence and dynamism. We also need to improve the back three. They are too shaky.
Dapo is looking awful. Wing backs not in the game at all as we have nothing in midfield.
Poorest first half since January.

I've only watched it live but it seemed to me Trafford could've come for it.
Re: To be a Pilgrim..Home v Plymouth Sat 12th March. 3-0'clock.
I'm getting the impression at the minute that our high press isn't as active as it used to be in those matches in the good run. Almost as if we're sitting off them and not forcing the mistakes.

There's an air of flat track bully about us. When we're on the front foot, it's quite compelling. No pressure on MF and defence and it's almost bound to look good. This is then held up as the exemplar. For me the exemplar is how we perform in tighter games and when we're a bit more up against it and actually you need some defensive acumen. Jones makes the defence a better defence. He doesn't make Johnston a better defender.
