Stoke v Argyle MatchDay Thread - Sponsored by Home Flooring LTD

[Biggs]

How on earth can we defend like we did against Leicester then defend like absolute amateurs now? Absolutely shocking. Not happy at all

Different sides though, Stoke are way more direct and aggressive.

2 lapses of concentration in midfield from Randell and 2 goals. Absolutely gutting

 

[Yammerman]

Too much emotion not enough calm, bound to help them and not us. Forshaw going off a big blow. We need a barnstoming second half now

 

[Sidewinder]

Our bench doesn’t make me feel that we can get back into this

 

[CarolinaGreen]

No idea what sparked that argy bargy with Cooper earlier on, but it gave Stoke a real spark.

 

[Frank the Phone]

We let ourselves get totally rattled and had zero composure in the last twenty minutes

 

[warney]

Come on Rotherham!

 

[jerryatricjanner]

It was all going well up to the 40 minute mark and then we folded.
Galloway uncharacteristically poor with his distribution and Joe for all his effort looking a League 1 player.
Two well taken goals but we haven't helped ourselves as Stoke just don't do scoring twice at home.
I cannot see any way back from this now but live in hope.

 

[Spion Kopter]

Weak, ineffective defending from Argyle...too much backing off, dodging responsibility for making tacles

 

[Frank Butcher]

At 30 mins I was going to say good game, evenly matched. Lost our way in the last 10-15 and have it all to do now.

 

[Cobi Budge]

He’s the golden boy and everything but Whittaker has been awful for quite a while now.

 

[Green Onions]

Gutted. Can’t believe we’re only going to win this 3-2…..

 

[mutley marvel]

Huddersfield & Birmingham are currently goalless

 

[Monster Green]

Different sides though, Stoke are way more direct and aggressive.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about organisation, tracking the player, concentration. The direct approach is irrelevant in this case. Galloway looks like he has already moved in FFS. Worst half for him in an Argyle shirt IMO

 

[greenpilled]

Have I missed a red card? They’ve been walking through us unchallenged so easily it’s hard to believe both teams have the same number of players. The timing of the goals is a sickener but probably a fair reflection of the game.
