Lameiras gets an assist for Plymouth.

Been on the bench mostly for them though.

Pants down and whips

 

[Nick]

Davies winning most headers so far!

 

[Nick]

McNulty seems to be making space, chips over the top but a bit too much on it.

Burge leathers it forward...

 

[Johhny Blue]

Down to 5th

 

[larry_david]

How on earth did we get beaten by morecambe??

 

[Nick]

Barnett does a UFC takedown on McDonald.

 

[Nick]

Corner to them, Shipley blocks a cross.

Need to stop giving them away so much

 

[Nick]

Bayliss headers it clear, Shipley gets fouled when collecting it. Free kick to us in our half.

 

[sw88]

McNulty cuts inside before shooting over

 

[covcity4life]

Mcnulty is proper confident today

 

[Nick]

McNulty cuts inside before shooting over

Would have fancied it on his right foot, wasn't majorly over but not troubling the keeper.

 

[Nick]

Bayliss gets the ball and drives forward from our box to near theirs. Gets pulled back and their player booked.

Not close enough to shoot.

 

[Nick]

Bad free kick from shipley straight out for a goal kick.

Thats part of his game that frustrates me especially after his cool clinical finish on Friday

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

Mcnulty is proper confident today

Hopefully biamou takes a leaf out his book bangs in a goal

 

[Nick]

What we need is to wind up their midfielder (Tonge) I think who has been booked. He won't want it at all.

Bayliss has done that well the last couple of games as well.

 

[Nick]

Doyle is in a mood with Stokes about something, he gets the ball and absolutely nails it out of play.

 

[Nick]

They attack, Pope wins it in the air and tries to chest it down. We get it clear but they put it back in, Davies heads out for a throw.

 

[Nick]

Biamou puts it over the top for McNulty to chase, bit too much on it but McNulty shoves their play and gives away a foul.

 

[Esoterica]

We've looked good when playing short and bad when playing long so far. Unfortunately because of how deep we are and the pitch itself, there's been a bit too much long and not enough short stuff.

 

[Nick]

Davies climbs on Barnett's back trying to get on his shoulders I think, free kick to them on the corner of our box.

 

[stevefloyd]

That SW88 is a lazy git, he used to be really good

Yep, we dont seem to look up. Just keep hammering it forward.

 

[Esoterica]

Their whole team looks so slow too. Devoid of pace.

 

[Nick]

Davies goes down with a head injury, ref calls physio on.

Looks OK though I think.

The ball is fast when you hammer it forward though

If this is the improved Port Vale, I'm glad I didn't have to watch them every week for the first 12 games

 

[Nick]

Stokes good ball to Shipley, their player touches it out for a corner.

 

[Nick]

Easy corner, their goalie takes it.

They were waiting for the pitch to soak

 

[Nick]

McDonald gets a booking now, has to be careful!

 

[sw88]

Their 7 cons ref into giving him a free kick and Mcdonald a yellow

Cross comes in and 31 who looks a useful player heads unmarked towards Burge butbits an easy save

 

[mrtrench]

heads unmarked towards Burge butbits an easy save

I thought that only his wife was permitted to call him Burge Butbits?
