Ditto, but at least his criticisms are constructive. This is a public forum after all, imagine ridiculing somebody for investing too much time in stating their opinion. If it winds you both up so much, then block him.

Brief Synopsis!!! (Charlton)
- Thread starter Mark Pedlar
- Start date
This result has been coming for a while, we have ridden our luck at times in the last few matches and have come up against re-vitalised team and paid the price. Sony Bradley's absence is hurting us badly and unfortunately the midfield, Carey in particular seems to have lost its creative spark, hopefully only temporarily. Ultimately though I think Charlton did a job on us and on balance more credit should go to them than criticism to Argyle.
If I have a criticism of Adams this season is that there is not enough strength in depth. Every time a first teamer gets injured, the replacement isn't up to the job by a long chalk and is costing us dear. We saw it in particular with Taylor and now we are seeing it with Bradley

We need to beat Southend and hopefully get a draw at Scunny and we are right back on track - my concern is more the current level of performance than our league position - especially defensively.

Thatās because he has to rely on loan players to fill the gap when someone is injured.We donāt seem to have any money for him to go out and buy who he actually wants.
How we are going to compete in the Championship if we get their this season or whenever is beyond even contemplating at the moment :facepalm:
Green Flash is worried about our current performance, defensively. Iād be a bit more worried about our attack. Iām surprised the Charlton keeper didnāt bring out a deckchair in the second half as he was not put under any pressure whatsoever. Hardly a shot all game. I hope it was a blip but I think Iād be more concerned with our attack - or lack of one on Saturdays performance.

First game we haven't scored in 19. Not a great attacking performance on Saturday for sure but Charlton did a superb job in snuffing us out we will score more goals in games to come. Teams still terrified of our front three. Defensive lapses are a bigger concern for me.

I think we have an excellent Plan A which has propelled us up the table but we don't really have a Plan B if Plan A doesn't work. Derek had a go at something different in the second half of Saturday's game and it made us worse.
My main worry is that we don't really have players on the bench who I'd be confident in turning a game around if we're losing.
We just arenāt the same team offensively without Sarcevic. Granted, we scored 3 goals against Rovers but none were against the run of play so to speak. Without him and Bradley, we look a very average L1 team.
Goals win matches and you donāt win if you donāt cross or shoot. Tippy tippy is all very nice but if thereās no end result then the result is pointless as we saw on Saturday.

Over the last few months I've seen...
Without Graham Carey, we look a very average L1 team.
Without Ryan Taylor, we look a very average L1 team.
Without Toums, we look a very average L1 team.
Without Reuben Lameiras, we look a very average L1 team.
Etc etc.
This really is silly. We lost and we looked a poor side. IT HAPPENS.
Over the last 25 matches we are in third place with 51 points, so we clearly aren't just a very average League 1 team and no amount of mental gymnastics should convince you otherwise.

Biggs - there are 3 good sides in Div 1. There are 4-7 poor sides in Div 1. The rest are average. You cannot ignore the first 20 or so games because the results don't suit your argument. Success or failure is taken over a season.
Without certain key players we are a poor team - see start of season. With everyone on form, we're a good team. By definition that's average.

If Wigan can lose 3 or 4 players and still play well, it's a good squad.Mark Pedlar":3dioxox0 said:
We can't. So we have a good starting XI but an average squad.
