Mr Ferguson is a little bitter

[Mark Colling]

We had better clear chances. Carey and Jervis in second half.

Their chances were stopped by excellent defending. McCormick (2), Threlkeld, Songo'o. That's not luck.

No, you didn't. Our keeper didn't have a save to make apart from the bullet header that he could only have saved if it went straight at him.

Your keeper made 3 outstanding saves, and there were at least two sliding blocks.

Doncaster had by far the better chances, and overall the better performance. BUT Plymouth had the goal and therefore the result.

I have no sour grapes nor complaints. Marquis' header for example, another 12 inches or so and McCormick doesn't get it. We didn't score, primarily due to your great defending - but you did, with a powerful header. On another day with the identical performance and chances we win 2-1 or 3-1.

But football doesn't work like that every match. If I was an Argyle fan I would be delighted with the way you kept us out and the chance you took, and the 3 points keeping the title race alive, as well as bringing promotion closer.

Both our clubs will go up I am fairly certain now, so in reality it is a straight race for the title. If we play other teams as well as we did against you, we have a great chance.

Good luck!!

My observation on how good the chances were is that the Donny ones (and there were more) were more first time efforts with a crowd of defenders to elude, whereas we had a couple of chances on the break with time to think about them where we can be excused thinking we could have done better.

I'm delighted with the three points and feel no guilt whatsoever about them; here's to an enthralling Championship run-in that we can all enjoy now that the stress of ensuring promotion is all but over.

OK, DV. On reflection, that was a 'green tint' opinion on my part and your reply is fair comment.

Hopefully, we can have a similar discussion from League 1 in 2017/18 season.

All the best!!

Thanks folks.. Goals win matches, regardless of anything else.

At least the result on Sunday was all about the football performances, good defending etc and not reliant on dodgy refereeing decisions, and no controversy.

Onwards and upwards, eh??

Amen brother!

You Sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Shame there is not more of your ilk on these sites. By the way, I do not claim to be one.

Agreed..........



We should have had a penalty though. :coat:

Derek Adams has this remarkable ability to rustle any manager he wants to. And I love it.

 

[Presto]

Ferguson junior has most of the attributes of his father: any game lost is someone else's fault i.e. The referee, a linesman, the fourth official, the pitch anything other than his team or indeed himself.

However I doubt he has the ability to suceed to his fathers undoubted ability to build and manage a top team.

Whilst I agree that DA is exactly the kind of manager we need to have some success on the field at last, we should be aware that we are being judged as we judge Gareth Ainsworth and his teams and Steve Evans and his teams.

I do love that we have a manager that has brought a professionalism to the club it shouldn't necessarily be to the detriment of our reputation as a sporting club.

I agree. I don't see what's to be gained in 'rustling' managers. Seems childish.

'On another day' he says. Like early December perhaps at Home Park. So Luke made two excellent saves. He IS part of the team. Its not down to luck.

 

[The Doctor]

In fairness, I don't think DV is saying it is down to luck. Rather, he is saying it is down to very fine margins.
