your wrong, they are both s###, if Songo had backed off any further he would have landed in the zooSteve Evans":oygm4b7m said:

Whenever I see Donaldson I expect to finally see what DA sees in him and each time I'm left bewildered. Every performance is forgettable and he has no impact. Charging down the goalkeeper and stealing a goal all that time ago is the only memorable moment in a forgettable season. The new arrivals have only made him look an even worse player than I saw before. I just don't see he has any talent. He can't tackle. His passing is at best safe and has no goal threat. I'm convinced he may be related to DA in some way.
In hindsight totally the wrong sub.

'arry.i think donaldson is a genuine 4th division player but cast your mind back to saturday when he played that great first time ball through to jake to win the penalty.he isn't all good but he isn't all bad.arrythewurzel":368adl4t said:
As others said it was poor management.
Carey should have moved inside and either tanner or jervis on for sarcevic to take Carey's place on the wing.
That said if their neanderthal left back doesn't cripple sarcevic then there is no decision to make

I don't like the witchhunt tone of this thread, but I was surprised at the time that Sarcevic wasn't replaced with a like for like replacement in Tanner. It was a negative substitution to make so early in the game.

Absolutely correct, another DA shortcoming. Tanner must be exasperated. I feel a bit sorry for Donaldson, he doesn't seem to have the physical ability, to impose himself on a game, ends up chasing shadows. Probably playing one division to high. In any event, it was our awful defending that cost us tonight.
Weekest player we had was Songo. They knew if they ran at him they would pass him, he couldn't tackle, his body position when defending was too square so very easy to go past, afraid of making a tackle. Their equaliser at 1 each was partly down to him, backing off and backing. Good finish mind.
Donaldson bwas thrust into the role unnecessarily. Like for like would have been the option for me. Harsh to criticise him tbh

No surprise to see Donaldson slotted in there it was the safe option, personally I think as said we'd have moved Carey and put on Tanner our pace and guile would have seen us out of site before the ref lost the plot, Adams usually gets it right but against the likes of Orient we have enough about us to go out and pass them off the park and win by a decent margin.

Perhaps someone could tell us where they think Donaldson's position is ?PL2 3DQ":dccvbrjn said:
Songo'o was excellent in his earlier season spell as a CDM. He seems to be struggling to re-adjust to the role after a decent spell at CB. He hasn't suddenly become a bad player.
Donaldson is a squad player IMO and for the most part hasn't let anyone down. Last night he was the wrong choice and the main cause of our lost momentum. Square peg, round hole but not his fault necessarily.

To describe Ryan Donaldson as the worst midfielder ever to be seen in an Argyle shirt is harsh I agreed... I remember Adam King! Awful!
Nevertheless, I do agree that every time I have seen Donaldson play, he appears to always be playing at 75% capacity. He's neat and tidy on the ball, but is simply not brave enough to try something difference and is certainly not going to put his body on the line for the cause. He's a luxury player... but is simply not good enough to be that. Carey and Sarcevic are our creative influences, the rest of the side need to put a shift in... Donaldson doesn't have that in his makeup.
