I like a lot of what I see since Lampard took over and I think a few individuals look improved already but the single biggest one has to be EMC. It really is some change, suddenly looks worth the money and is frankly undroppable.

To think people called emc a waste of money lol

Difficult to actually work out if we played well today due to how poor Plymouth were.

Feel like we will have to go up a few gears for the next match

Good result; guard still up though as Plymouth were exceptionally shite.

Simms will add more goals to this team than Bassette.

 

[fatso]

Plymouth keeper looks suspiciously like Collins!

 

[Winny the Bish]

Fingers crossed EMC is alright. Any issues with him and we're a bit screwed.

 

[Jamesimus]

Didn’t feel like their sending off was a sending off.

However, he was an idiot at other points that half, and making that tackle at 4-0 down was ridiculous so I’m glad he got sent off.

People will learn not to shoot their bolt on players too early one day. We'll be long dead, but one day...

Plymouth keeper looks suspiciously like Collins!

And plays like him too...

 

[Evo1883]

Yes very controlled performance and giving several players a second half rest

A win against millwall please before Cardiff

10 points off the playoffs season starts here lads

Mid table is laughable suggestion according to @Ccfcisparks and @Brighton Sky Blue

 

[SBT]

Reminded me a lot of the Rotherham game at home last season - Plymouth just absolutely nowhere near us. Hard to tell what you can take away from a game like that, but it was an enjoyable afternoon all the same.

We were 10 off after millwall too tbh , just got to keep picking up points

You said mid table by January.

 

[skybluecam]

You said mid table by January.

We’re 14th with another game this month, could easily be mid table on Jan 1st

 

[Evo1883]

Yes we are only 2 points off mid table Norwich

 

[duffer]

Happy enough with that, Plymouth might be crap, but we've at least broken the habit of making poor teams look good...

Yeah just checked the stats can't believe our xG was only 1.28

We remain unable to produce more than one or two good performances on the spin. Let's focus on that before aiming for the dizzy heights of 12th

 

[clint van damme]

Inevitable tbf.

Happens frequently.

Nice to take our chances for a change

 

[shmmeee]

We’ve been midtable all season? What is this madness?

 

[clint van damme]

I don't get how he was top scorer for wba

Without looking I'd bet he wasn't playing on the left for them.

 

[Evo1883]

Lower mid at best

 

[skybluecam]

The fog posed more danger to us getting the result there than Plymouth.

 

[shmmeee]

Lower mid at best

Lower mid is still mid. We’ve not troubled the relegation battle despite the bedsheets on here.

 

[clint van damme]

Fingers crossed EMC is alright. Any issues with him and we're a bit screwed.

Well after he went off we tried 2 players there so either way I dont think he'll start against Millwall

It was a red, it was wreckless and intentional

I agree just messing mate

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Lampard 2 clean sheets in 6 games matches the 2 we got in the previous 17. A sign of how much work still needs to be done

 

[fernandopartridge]

Thinking the same, it’s like they’ve shook hands at half time and said that will do. Be pissed off to have paid £37 for basically one decent half of football.

Weird. Plymouth sat in two very distinct banks second half, their sole intention was not to concede another. It's difficult to break down and you've got no reason to take any particular risks as the attacking team.

Are we in a relegation battle yes or no?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Fuck it. Who cares if they're shit. Winning like this breeds confidence.

Merry Christmas SBT!

 

[Jamesimus]

That’s fair, I’m happy to concede! Glad he got sent off, was a right twat.

Can’t fault anything about that match, pretty faultless. Are you going to carry on attempting to persuade everyone that we are in a ‘relegation battle’?
