That goal feels like Wilson’s did last year at Blackburn

TBH possibly the best night to have an off game .. watching on Sky he could have had a worldly and still wouldn’t have seen it

Was a hard watch when the fog was down. All the players kept turning grey.
Presumably due to low resolution.

 

[covcity4life]

Haha "you are kidding me"


Looks a decent finish that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Simms should be starting every game upfront. No point chopping and changing, give him a run of games other than the cup.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Shouldn’t underestimate how good they are at home. That’s a good point. We look tired down our right side. Godden just isn’t up to it. Wright, Simms, Saka is out front three but we can’t play them every game. I’d rather just see the raw pace of Tavares rather than Godden. What a find Torp is. Best game I’ve seen Da Silva have.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Hahaha… what absolute stinker of a game.

I’ll take the point.

Robins. Play the strongest team next time please.

Torp again with a fantastic ball in for the first and last goal.

Overall, we played quite well in the first half and had Godden put us 1-0 up, it’s probable we stay on the front foot.

Ironically, it was when we brought on our starters that we looked more vulnerable.

Palmer isn’t on that same level as COH and in my view, he’s a role player if his final third play doesn’t improve. We missed COH tonight.

Have that you straw-munching nugget!

 

[Major Tom]

Seeing it again looks like a good goal.. fair play for sticking a leg out

 

[covcity4life]

You constantly moan about confirmation bias but palmer was poor. He delivers once every 3 games and you need big players to step up in games like this.

I never said he played well. I said that's why he stayed on pitch till the very end.

Need any more clarification or you just looking for an argument?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Whittakar is sharp as fuck isn't he. 100% in the prem or another top league next season.

Swansea need to sack whoever sanctioned selling him. And you do really wonder why we didn’t go in for him either.

 

[dadgad]

Simms and Torp our best players, Da Silva and Van Ewyk not bad neither.
Thomas - one to forget and move on.
Good point!!

Pretty sure he was already set on going to Plymouth wasn't he?

I wonder how much their home form is teams having to make that ball ache of a trip, especially on Wednesday nights.

 

[Tommo1993]

It really saddens me to say that Godden has had his day. We have to move on and other than Maidstone, he shouldn’t really be starting games.

 

[AiS86]

And then when players break down with injury complain that the squad is too small

Then throw on top "why has x been dropped?" they've not, they're being rested, you get dropped when you're not playing well

 

[Ashdown]

The biggest praise tonight goes to those superb loyal City fans who travelled all the way to Plymouth on a Wednesday in February
You came across as bossing the atmosphere

 

[Paul Anthony]

Tell you what, we've found a right gem in Torp, and he's only going to get better with more minutes under him. I'm excited to see him grow as a player.

Really tough game, that. We didn't help ourselves at all tonight, feels like a missed opportunity for three points with the chances we've had, but at the end of the season, that point could make the difference. We need to be better though, a few clean sheets wouldn't go amiss.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I think that’s probably where we’re at without Ohare in the team.

Really feel like we should've got O'Hare's replacement in January. Give them 6 months to bed in and be all guns blazing next season. Like a Finn Azaz or someone similar.

 

[Astute]

…it’s how the whole move started. Anyway enough of that

But why?

Had enough of people taking cheap shots at our players. Simms had a shot. He missed. They took the ball up our end and got an OG. Shouldn't we shoot just incase they get the ball then score an OG?

Simms wasn't brilliant today. But he scored and didn't play badly at all.

Well done Torp yet again. A good point against a side solid at home.

Every player is until money talks

 

[Grendel]

Take the point, just about clinging on to sixth. Massive missed opportunity to be honest. Need to improve.

Not really

They are on a good run and we had key players missing. You’d take a draw at the start with stoke as a winnable game.

 

[djr8369]

Thought we were decent at times considering the conditions. Plymouth were just a bit slicker and crisper and we faded as the second half went on. Bit fortunate with the equaliser but then so were they with their second.

On balance they deserved the win but will take a point. Consider we were missing two key players and didn’t risk two others for the full 90.

Simms was great.

 

[TomRad85]

"You're kidding me! "

Have that you straw-munching nugget!

Was Marc Edworthy tbf they were much better than most regional comms, not overly biased and at least a degree of knowledge about our players.

If he has his weetabix that morning he may grab a goal at Maidstone

Simms wasn’t brilliant - brilliant is as much an hyperbole as saying he was rubbish

Said above, more due to them not being great tonight than them not being a good team.

 

[Macca]

Going at 1.5 points per game. Continue that makes 69 points. Need to lift it a bit and turn some of those draws into 3 pts. However I’m delighted tonight

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Once every three games is generous, he's had a small handful of good games over the last 18 months

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

SBA deserved that equaliser for the long trip down there on a week night, and then backing the lads like they did through that weather.

 

[mark82]

Morgan Whittaker looks a cracking player. Remember a lot of hype around Bali Mumba early in the season, but didn't seem anything special tonight.

 

[shmmeee]

What is wrong with people, why can they not wrap their head around the fact you can't play your strongest 11 every game?

SBT rules:

- whoever touched the ball last is to blame if we concede a goal

- strikers should score every shot less than 30 yards from goal

- player fatigue is a MSM lie

- if a through ball doesn’t come off it’s terrible passing and proof the player is a nearly man.

 

[Grendel]

Simms was great.

Simms wasn't great. But he was better than some would want tou to believe.

 

[Jarvo87]

Slightly flukey equaliser but well deserved. Overall thought we were the better team for most of the game in tough conditions; stats suggest same. Some inconsistent performances but bag the point, move on.

Still in a play off spot but tightening up. Baggies the big winners from this round of games.

Happy enough overall. Ratings thread will be an interesting read I reckon…..

Whittaker would be a joy to see in sky blue next season
