Such a strange game.
We battled, we thought, and then we lost the plot.
You have to say the pitch didn’t help Argyle’s cause.
First half Jephcott scored a loverly goal. Yet too many balls pumped down the pitch and there was little, if no width. Fleetwood through Camp, but mainly lane, got the ball out wide and attacked us down the sides.
Second half was better by Argyle. The second goal was again from a wide area and a loverly run late into the box by Edwards. Why he can’t play where Broom does l don’t know. He has energy, work rate and a eye for a goal. His late runs are the best feature of him as a wing-back so if he was more central Argyle, with him and Camara, would be more of a force in that midfield.
Ennis came on and did well. Scored with a great finish. It looked like we killed the game. Then we just didn’t do the basics right. Their 3rd corner is atrocious defending. Why in earth you letting the ball bounce in the box l don’t know? Especially inside your six yard box. Cooper isn’t physical enough in that situation (whether he is fouled or not) and everyone else is just watching. It’s beyond school boy level of defending.
The performance wasn‘t great but as others have said you just try and win ugly. Yet this now asks more questions about us defensively. We are still too soft defensively to play away from home. Away to Portsmouth we had the game won. They launch it time and time again into the box and get their reward.
Its frustrating. We got a point away from home. It just feels like there are still more questions than answers at this minute regarding the defensive and offensive width that we play with and the opposition pick us apart with. Until this area of the pitch is sorted we will continue to be disjointed.
