Best finisher of disallowed goals in the league. Meh on their player picking up a yellow. Seemed a little harsh. Edozie and Alcaraz linking up well today. But as we're on the attack, we have a bit of a race to prevent one of their counters. We're alert enough, but a goal will always help 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Edozie did so well to take that ball in his stride. But for all the cutting in, he managed to pick out one of the few areas we didn;t have a player. We need a bit more accuracy with that final delivery. They all know where they;re supposed to be in the first two thirds of the pitch. Just that last bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Plymouth don't have much going on when they attack. One goal from us and this will really open up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 A weaker effort from Manning there. Still, after attacks form everywhere else, a central, direct effort would have kept them on their toes if it had some pace to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Smallbone not falling for this end to end stuff. Gets the ball, asseses the options, swirls round and plays it back. Allowing a better ball to get to Edozie on the other side. Nice and simple, but good control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Super from Bednarek. Manning had done an overlap for Edozie (who ignored it, and never seemed likely to use him). But when Alcaraz's pass got intercepted, we had plenty of space at full back. Bedders handled it really well. Another one from us across the face of goal. Any runner at any time would put one of these away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Need to score more in the first half of games rather than waiting until 90 odd minutes. Just not potent enough in attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 There's been a bit of chat about how we've changed and developed our system. But we're occassionally still only a Smallbone outpacing their attacker away from it being a 1-1 with Baz. Our opponents are usually just happy to get it clear of late, so haven;t capitalised and we're aware of it being a weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Smallwilly has done alright in mopping up but I just don’t rate him on the ball. Edozie doing some good things but no end product. Rare to say that about him…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero creativity in Smallbone and Charles. I was struggling to bring myself to say the same so I’m glad you did. Crying out for creativity from Stu Armstrong or Joe Aribo. All that possession and not anything to show for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
