Plymouth Argyle at home match thread

[Lew-T]

I think I should stay away a little longer.

Bloody ell. Didn’t expect to see that score line!

[And Its Smith]

A period of a more obvious 4-4-1-1 now before half time.

[Ska Junkie]

Bugger me, we're 5th in the live table!

[redkev]

Mmmmmm I’m still not confident game far to open ,  they won’t be so poor ( I mean shit ) 2nd half 

saying that going forward there decent but at the back they really are as poor as us ( oh I mean poor )

I asked AI and I don’t think it will take over the world anytime soon!

 

“According to my knowledge, the last time Bristol City scored 3 goals in the first half of a league game was on August 12, 2023 against Watford in the Championship. The final score of the game was 3-1 in Bristol City's favor.”

Plymouth bias from Sky imo

[Lanterne Rouge]

Ipswich 1 up at Saints. Martin can`t have long left now surely?

[Bas's perfect hattrick]

Where did they get their goalkeeper from? He's making Marinovic look competent 

[BarneyCity]

Why can some find the game on sky, but I can’t get it on Sky via Virgin Media - only two games listed as showing.

[And Its Smith]

Plymouth are shite

[redkev]

I do like Tanners commitment , endeavour , and aggression but tonight I really am noticing his limitations 

[MelksRed]

H-T

[petehinton]

What a truly bizarre half. We’ve carved them open in third gear. They’ll be so happy it’s only 3-1. Be amazed if they don’t make a double or triple sub at ht

[Super]

Very odd half of football.

Cam has been fantastic tonight

He could have done with some help for their goal to be fair, Sykes was ambling back a bit.

[Alessandro]

Action packed first half - Plymouth, looking like a team that’s made 7 changes, all over the place and we start hard and fast to get 2 early goals, Bell could well have made it 3.

Then it’s own worse enemy stuff from City. First Vyner gets caught in possession and Naismith needs to make another last ditch tackle. Then Tanner is half clumsy/half unlucky with the ball dropping to Randall who slides it in the bottom corner from 20 yards - again where was the marking, Randall had far too much time and space.

Luckily Plymouth are even more sloppy in defence than us and they leave Sykes completely free run 1 on 1 onto a super Knight switch and slot into the corner. 2 goal cushion restored.

But then it’s Max’s turn to let Waine’s press get too close before he scuffs a poor clearance straight to Randall, who plays in Waine free in the middle, played onside by a slow to react Naismith, luckily blasts over under pressure from Vyner.

So, very happy to be 3-1 up but just need to tidy up at the back and keep that concentration because they will bring on Hardie no doubt and we could well get a hatful tonight.

In defence they look well dodgy, but decent going forward - this game is not won yet, especially if we play stupid soft square passes at the back.

I feel like he’s lost a bit of confidence since he started here. Often passes back. I’m sure he got forward more in his early days too.

Thanks chaps. Wasn't able to watch and thought they'd said he'd had his surgery already.

You speak the truth.

Great half from the boys, but not won yet

[cityexile]

Funny old half really. Lead by two which is great, but never really felt we were in control of the game. Plymouth carry some real danger, matched with some defence you would be disappointed to see on the Downs. All been a bit slapstick at times.

Looks like their bench has a lot of first teamers on it, so might tighten up a lot and get nervy if they get one back. Hopefully we can cut out the mistakes and exercise more control second half. Equally, if their defence does not improve would fancy us to get some more.

[Mihai]

Come on you reds ! The streams are shiet so I watch the livescore on an website and that's all.  Good to win points against weaker teams, that makes it for a better season.
