Match Thread Plymouth (A)- Wednesday 14th Feb (3 Viewers)

[Covcraig@bury]

Torp is starting to look a little bit special .
Simms had a great game also , when that penny drops he will be hard to contain and the goals will come . Overall a brilliant point away from home with O’Hare,Sheaf and Allen out . The back 4 need to get to grips they seem a yard off the pace . Kasey and Lati was pretty solid in the middle but a few stray passes . I love Godden for everything he’s done for us but he can’t keep up with play he’s getting old like us all and should be put out to pasture.
we’re still in this race for what I think is the last spot so hold on it’s going to get bumpy.

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

Palmer does some really good work, gets in good positions, but then gets that final ball wrong far too often. At the end of the day, if there's no end product anything that goes before it counts for nothing.

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

Hadn’t he been at Plymouth on loan so wanted to go back ? Agree though, looks a handful

 

[skybluegod]

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.

Agreed Grendel.

Unbeaten in the league at home since October. They score goals, and as you say a number of key players missing, with a busy schedule.

Happy with a point going into Saturday.

I don’t see the equaliser as a fluke at all, that’s exactly why you whip set pieces into dangerous areas. That’s the intention of the free kick.

 

[South West Sky Blue]

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’ve been very supportive of Palmer since he joined.
However I was at the Cardiff game (we lost 3-2) where he was terrible. I must admit to being disappointed this season with him so far. I actually thought he was good tonight. Constantly took the ball under pressure, rolled his man and created space.
Not sure there’s (m)any that come out with much more credit than him tonight.

 

[mark82]

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

Not a flukey equaliser at all. Was good play. Great ball in, and a very deliberate move from Kitching.

I liked Hamer from day 1 but Torp is way ahead of day 1 Hamer. Just wait until he's really up to speed.

Him and Sheaf are going to be immense together

Sure he’d have wanted to but like I said, money talks and we could have outbid Plymouth both on wages and the fee.

 

[pusbccfc]

Torp set pieces the difference. What an incredible signing. If only we had him in August.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Preston will be even tougher than normal. Must be about the form team in the league right now. Level on points with us. Bad time to play them.

It's never a good time to play them.

His ball through to Godden early in the second half was quality. Caught everyone off guard including the striker sadly

 

[Danceswithhorses]

So Swansea have ditched the 'rubbish' Gyokeres and now Whittaker too...dear oh dear...2 cracking players

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

We werent at it tonight & slotting a Wilson-esque equaliser at half past midnight shouldnt mask that (no matter how good it feels!)

I could swallow rotating 1 or 2 but dropping 4 of your most effective players in one go?

 

[Astute]

Shambolic team selection
Shambolic team performance

Shambolic point

 

[fernandopartridge]

jDS and Simms for me. Torp did well tho mostly agreed

Ppl on about Palmer needs to be off but he's only one that will try those dangerous throughballs and if he didn't in last minute we wouldn't get that free kick

We have a good squad. Short in numbers but we have good players and today showed we CAN rotate

Palmer had two or three chances to play people in and failed to execute any of them, he flatters to deceive especially away from home.

An unbelievable midfield duo at this level. Can't wait to see it.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Depends what you want from Simms. For me tonight he worked extremely hard which always goes down well but actually is the least you should get. He was lucky with the goal - but obviously he scores so you can’t be too critical. The bottom line is he is our best option in that role.

We didn’t play that bad I thought.

 

[shmmeee]

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

? didn’t we average 1.93 from thevlast 15? 10 from the last 5 certainly with this being a new block of five.

 

[Jarvo87]

Fair enough, I’ll need to watch it again…. From my angle on the sofa it Seemed to hit their man, canon into another of their defenders, and bobble into the corner. Ultimately doesn’t matter, it’s ended up in the net. Same result as a screamer from 30 yards.

First half I couldn't tell you how anybody did left side, good or bad!

 

[fatso]

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

I didn't think he was great, but fuck me he was better than Godden tonight.
Can't believe how poor Matty was.
Will the real Matty Godden please stand up.

Plus the assists he’s provided. Honestly don’t know how he can’t be a fan. Hajis been fantastic so far.

 

[AiS86]

His miss was pretty shocking, but the Godden is old/past it is a bit much. This new system just doesn't suit him, as a player he's largely the same. But the system also doesn't really suit Simms. Simms can hold it up more, but not a lot comes from it. Neither get much of service they need. The potential is there with Simms though if he gets more through balls, he makes a lot of runs that either aren't seen or not taken up. More of that from Torp and the goals will come

Have to agree Palmer was garbage tonight

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Godden shouldn't start another game this season. Simms is so much better.

Simms is a long way off the required standard but clearly a better option than Godden who has been poor for months.
Even he must now realise that MR has given him more opportunities than his performances deserve.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Hard won point, take it and move on, oh and we should have signed Whitaker he looks a real threat

Apparently Whitaker wanted to sign for Plymouth after spending last session on loan.

 

[covcity4life]

Has robins spoken yet?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Completely under estimated Plymouth there by not sticking out the best 11 from the get go,

godden is about as much use a chocolate kettle

We needed to rest players and those changes were not why we struggled. We could’ve been 2-0 up.

 

[vow]

Has robins spoken yet?

on now.

 

[False9]

Thank fk for that.

Just leave Godden there, waste of time.

Simms has surely nailed down the number 9 slot.

Is being a clueless c**t a prerequisite for getting into CWR. I don’t believe this is the average fan. They definitely select for it.
