Lanterne Rouge Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Huge win for Plymouth today 2-1 in the 95th minute away at Luton. 4pts clear at the top of Div 2 with no-one challenging winning. I might not be popular saying this but they`ve been in league 2 for far too long and think this might just be their year. Well run club now and big fanbase if they`re doing well and would be good for west country football if they were at least league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 The results from today's games have been pretty good for us, but as has been mentioned we need to pick up more points ourselves to make the most of other teams' failings. Bloody annoyed that Brighton failed to win against Preston after beating us, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody annoyed that Brighton failed to win against Preston after beating us, though.Preston are going about staying up in exactly the opposite fashion to us, with six clean sheets already, but score very few goals, as neither Joe Garner or Stevie May have scored at all.Be interesting to see if their strategy works..

However, while our defence record has been bad this season, if you compare our opening 6 games and last 6, there has been a big improvement, so it's not all bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 You're right, two clean sheets, two wins.You'll still find posts suggesting we need attacking midfielders and strikers rather than defensive midfielders though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt most will disagree with me, but I think an argument could be made that with the versatility of the players we have, we can cover most positions well enough, and the players we have are capable for this division. the big change for me was the change in mentality, we have been less gung ho, and it has shown both in goals scored and conceded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think a lot of us have been caught out by the improvement needed in The Championship ( from League One).George Savile making a big difference for Millwall on loan. Another example! Having said that you never know which players can make the step up and which ones won't.I'm so glad our £2.1m man looks the biz. Prior to all this £6m stuff, I was surprised we spent that much on one player, especially unproved in this country, or at this level.....and then you hear some people suggesting we twist Walsall's arm with £3m for Bradshaw.i hope these clubs sacking managers continue their poor form and finish below us.

hortonred Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I see Preston did what we couldn't got a clean sheet and a point from Brighton. Puts our result in perspective a bit Simon Cox has proven that he was't good enough for Forest or Reading hasn't he? Is that the kind of proof we need right now?

Puts our result in perspective a bit Could be a case of after the Lord Mayors Show. A lot of Brighton were saying we were the best team they'll play at home all season and were absolutely purring about their result on Tuesday. Set up better for Preston today to do something.

SedRA Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I see Preston did what we couldn't got a clean sheet and a point from Brighton. Puts our result in perspective a bit So that logic would mean that our point against Preston should be put into perspective by today's result. No?

M.D Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I see Preston did what we couldn't got a clean sheet and a point from Brighton. Puts our result in perspective a bit I was at the Brighton game and without the midfield pairing of Stephens (injured) and Kayal (suspended) who played against us looked a totally different side with no creativity in the centre of the park. No real strength in depth at Brighton which could prove to be their downfall this season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rum Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 The fixtures during the rest of October and then November are really our chance to capitalise on some teams around us that would appear to be struggling (Bolton, Rotherham, MK Dons, even Leeds and Blackburn). I know on paper we should really be grouped with these teams (and the table doesn't lie) however most of us have the benefit of having seen some really good performances behind some poor results.Excluding Cardiff tomorrow, Wolves and Hull would appear to be our harder fixtures. However, both are at home so you'd like to think that we have a fair chance of getting something from these. Based on this we could well be comfortably mid table by December. Optomistic? Probably, however I think my optimism is fairly well founded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
