Blackburn 1 - 3 Sheffield Wednesday. FT

[GCH1965]

A glimmer of hope as I predicted Stoke to relegate us but they didn't.

 

[Welwyn Pilgrim]

The one point Blackburn have could save them at our expense.I will not remember this season with affection. Too much pressure.

We do not deserve to stay up. Yesterday proved it.

But our performance against Leicester proves we do….

 

[djg145]

We still have it in OUR hands to stay up!
I am sure Birmingham, Huddersfield and Wednesday would prefer to be in our position.
We have to just concentrate on our own performance against Millwall, who are safe and Hull who may or may not have a chance for the play offs.
Huddersfield have Brum at home, so that's good for us! Then Huddersfield have to play Ipswich away!
Birmingham are at home to Norwich, who will either need points to be in the playoffs or still want the points for a better chance in the playoffs.
Yes it will be bloody stressful, but we are better positioned then Huddersfield & Birmingham.

I've said it before - "on the beach" does not exist at this level. Pride, contracts, transfer opportunities, playing for the fans etc all play the part in putting in some final efforts, plus perhaps squad players coming in with points to prove.

At Millwall, we have to replicate the press that Stoke did to us yesterday all out effort and not being two yards off it like we were at the 365.

If it comes down to the home game v Hull, every one of us has to be up, on our feet and support the team, loud and louder.

"On the beach" does not exist at this level for sure, but equally true is that at this level fine margins can make all the difference. A team that knows the outcome is vital will inevitably play with an extra intensity, focus & desire that they wouldn't do if the result made little difference. Players are humans not robots.

The closest to "on the beach" maybe for Norwich in their final game against Brum. It's likely they will have a play-off spot in the bag by then so why risk injury or expend excessive energy for them in that game with crucial career defining matches pending?? I fully expect them to field a team of kids, squad players and their genuine first teamers playing on auto-pilot. They might still be decent .... but I bloody wish we'd be playing them.

A lot of people seem to be forgetting that we cannot consistently score goals. How can we win without scoring?

 

[Cobi Budge]

There’s no point discussing where we “deserve” to stay up or not, we don’t know yet. Nobody has had a points deduction this season and as such the three bottom teams will “deserve” to go down and the rest will “deserve” to stay up.

The last 20 seconds against Coventry coming back to haunt us.

Or at Birmingham or the comedy OG at Cardiff…..!

 

[Sailor Green]

Nothing has changed since yesterday for me. Argyle needed to beat either Stoke, Millwall or Hull to stay in this league.

First attempt failed. We have two more efforts. For me, we have two poor teams in our last 3 games & the third game a team likely to have nothing to play for. If we can’t win one of these games, and obviously failed yesterday at first attempt, then simply we don’t deserve to stay up especially if Wednesday can beat WBA at home or Sunderland away.

We are a poor team for heavens sake. No attack midfield or defence. Our players have no idea how to pass to a green shirt. I’m afraid we are going back to where we belong. All of you just get over yourselves for pity sake.

 

[999mattyg]

Blackburn have been comically bad, literally comical.

They would be dead and buried without Szmodics!

We’ve scored in 3 of the 4 matches since Dewsnip and Nance took charge. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good argument

I think you're being a bit green tinted there, old bean.

 

[Sailor Green]

We cannot pass to a green shirt. Our midfield is continually being over run. We will not score another goal this season. Exeter here we come. 🤮🤮

Go on then, tell me how many goals we have scored in the last 4 matches?

 

[pastiesforlife]

They were horrific when he took over, he had a lot to sort out.

He’s given them an identity and has made the sum of the team greater than it’s individual parts. He’s also really connected with the fans.

Foster did none of that.

Röhl won one of first seven games.

From mid Jan to mid Feb lost five, drew two, won one.

Before today’s result, lost three, drew three won one.

Yet Wednesday got their appointment bang on while Argyle got it very wrong.

He has connected with fans but they’ve not been as brilliant as you make out to have a snipe at the Foster appointment.

 

[Deacster]

I don't. Where was yesterday's Big Effort in what was arguably the biggest game of the Season. Sorry 😞

Keep the faith. We look bang in trouble when Foster left and dug out 2 wins and a draw.
I belive in this group, they will get us over the line 💚
