  1. 4 words , Mellor is a dartboard. One for the oldies
  2. Spellcheckers, give him a spray can or pen then see
  3. I'll edit my post a little for you
  4. If only you had players good enough to move on to better things
  5. Sweary, yet educational. Good work Mr. Panda
  6. Fuck,fuck,fuckity , fuck..... posibly
  7. A simple like for such an informative ,articulate and accurate post is simply not good enough so .....
  8. Don't know if you're referring to me as I did use the word 'horrible' in reference to our form. Maybe overstated but , I'll defend myself by saying .... From December 4th (first table that popped up) we have gained 25 points in 19 games, slightly over 1 per game. That , over the season would see us about 17th at the moment. Not great , but if you then add that we were 3rd with 37 from 20 it's been a big drop off in form. How long is a dip? 3, 5, 8 games ? Our has been 3 months. I've said this before, if we hadn't had such a good run earlier and such a poor run now perspective would be different . Reverse the season and we'd be shouting from the rafters, even the win/loss out and we'd be happy , but it is what it is, a depressing drop off in form with no sign of change. I fully understand the disappointment when people moan, 3 wins in 18 is it? ........ Horrible ?
  9. In as much as any game is winnable maybe, having just struggled to get 2 shots on target against a side that has a goal difference of minus 20 I'm not so sure. The SW game is starting to look like an anomaly in a horrible run. I just get fed up when after another poor result against a side that almost everyone says we should beat , we then get the ..it's ok if we win the next game ...
  10. Towel being thrown in or realism? On here , looking at it from the other side. We drop points against a side you think you could beat, and the cry goes up ... it's ok if we win the next game ... Then... We drop points against a side you think you could beat, and the cry goes up ... it's ok if we win the next game ... Then.. We drop points against a side you think you could beat, and the cry goes up ... it's ok if we win the next game ... etc From my perspective that is as annoying as anyone throwing in the towel as you call it. If you look back you can understand people giving up on our promotion chances as this run (just about relegation form remember) has gone on three months or so. I keep hoping something will click, but todays stats are ridiculous . Bags of possession and 2 shots on target against a relegation candidate. OK you can't win every game, you can lose against a side fighting relegation. It the fact THEY had 3 times more shots than us , 4 time more on target those figures are worrying.
  11. Winnable game on Monday? Brentford are 11 points and 10 places above Barnsley and Barnsley had 31 shots at our goal , 8 on target to our 2 . As for Millwall , in December they were 15 points behind us, if we had gained almost a point a game on the team in 3rd place (as they have to us ) I would be buzzing too. From Dec 4th , we had 37 points from 20 games , currently we have 62 from 39. That works out to 25 points from 19 games, slightly better than a point a game. To be honest , yes we will have our best finish for years and a year on improvement, but can't help but think that not only will this season have been a waste, but I struggle to be optimistic for next year.
  12. This can't be right surely, from Argyle forum. great win for Argyle though, Rovers were a poor team today. From what I've read the gAss were robbed , 2 wrong Pens and they should have won, by far the better team. The ref ****** them over was the quote I read from Asschat.
  13. Definitely not , but reports confirm the dog has been sent for a tetanus injection !
  14. Just seen this on the Argyle forum. "According to a Rovers fan I know who is at the game there's still trouble. Seats thrown, fan bitten by dog and pepper spray used."
  15. The biggest single thing that I can see is runners. During our good run we had people running past the forwards and pulling defender around. When Reid was CF if he dropped Pato , Brownhill , even Smith and Pack would bomb on. Today Reid was more like CMF , came so deep FD was isolated and no one moved into the spaced he'd left or got past the forward.
  16. I posted this else where, but seems fitting here too. Evening Post at it's finest
  17. a mate put this on FB, thought I'd drop it here to show that the Evening Post is shite even when it comes to their favourite club.
  18. I'm still hoping for their relegation push
  19. Not a very trusting man is he? Mags only played as he'd tried Josh and Korey and neither worked. Eliasson may come good, but with Kent here not this year. Woodrow is a waste of a shirt and if Djuric was fit and Diony was match fit and interested he wouldn't even be near the bench. I could see the reasoning as he is busy , but God he needs a firecracker up his ass to get him going. We seem to have numbers but not real options/choices.
  20. Brownhill looked tired. I think he may have jarred something , may have been playing for time but I doubt it. I would have brought Pato on for Kent before, slowed the game by holding onto the ball and stopped any rhythm we had. We still don't have the options, if Oneil is fit he'll probably start Vs Fulham and Cardiff, the only other choice is Walsh and it looks like LJ doesn't trust him yet. Eliasson could have been part of a triple change I suppose, show we are still light in midfield options.
  21. They are back to being the team they were last year, bit better football and more threatening at times, but any team expecting to be in the playoff's would see that game out. Joe Bryan is looking less and less like a FB this year, out of position so often and makes rash challenges getting back. Same could be said for Wright, uses strength to try and block people off instead of going for the ball. Woodrow just looks like he's not interested. Kent showed skill at times but over plays and wants to hold the ball and so slows play down too much. FD looked knackered and should have been subbed earlier, but with a choice of Woodrow and Diony I can understand LJ hesitating . FF , strange one, caught crosses, makes saves but can't kick a ball into about an acre of grass. To be fair at times we looked like were getting back to the passing of earlier in the season, but as the game went on they crumbled to a pressure that wasn't even there. You expect the opposition to have spells , but we just seem to let them keep coming and coming. not sure what LJ can do, it's a mental thing and confidence is brittle. With 2 real inform teams coming up I can see us dropping out of the top 8 by the end of the month. Whether we can start another run and get back in is another question.
