Brief synopsis

[samjones]

A TURGID ( read as TURD ) 1st half from 2 very poor teams clearly in for a long season. Atmosphere as damp as a wet squid

2nd half was slightly more exciting and a few more chances for both teams who clearly lack any quality.
Joel Grant turned the game around and gave us that width and speed to take people on.

Could of pinched all the points but you have to start somewhere.

Back four was better for Sawyer being amongst it but not sure ASB should be the one making way when our 3 CB's are all useless.
Riley is a waste of space as is Conor Grant who clearly is not a left midfielder

Carey had another off day and was hardly involved

Ladapo held the line and ran the channels well but with little support

Ness and Sarcevic were both off the pace

The fact Joel Grants cameo role as sub was MOM says it all really.

And why oh why did we not have a right winger who could attack their 3rd choice Left back who was promoted up from the kids for his 1st game.
Does DA not research the opposition ?

Feel that was an opportunity to get our first win and 3 pts on the board thrown away once again

Can't disagree with any of that, except I feel CG would be good in the centre alongside a *cough* Toums.

Just cracked open a bottle of Bolly. That's 1 more point than I thought we would get in September

HAPPY DAYS

A decent enough point but it doesn't hide the fact there is a dearth in quality in this team.

 

[clokey84]

Says a lot that we're thrilled with a 0-0 draw. For me, the worrying lesson is that we were evenly matched - against relegation contenders Rovers.

Some positives to take from the game but 3 points from 7 games...? Could do with some green tints convincing me that everything will be ok!

Who has said they are thrilled?

Much better from Argyle. Entertaining game, which we probably just shaded and had a golden opportunity to win after good work from Ladapo to set up Sarcevic. We looked MUCH more solid. Signs that we're finding out what our best team is. Hopefully, this is the turning point.

Macey 9- Probably our MOM. Made some really important stops and looked confident.

Sawyer 7- Solid. It goes unnoticed, but he makes positioning and distribution look easy. It's noticeable when our other full-backs play.

Riley 4- Was getting skinned before being taken off

Canavan 7- Had a good game, won his aerial battles and defended well.

Edwards 7- The same

Songo'o 6 - Defensively strong as usual, works so hard, but poor distribution

Ness 7 - A reliable worker in the middle. Neat and tidy.

Sarcevic 7 - Our creative spark. Lots of good pressing high up the pitch, but missed a sitter.

C Grant 5 - Lively first half. Went missing 2nd before being taken off.

Carey 6 - Another off day, but moments of magic worth having him on the pitch for.

Ladapo 8 - Did a brilliant job up on his own. Ran in behind, held the ball up well and brought others into the game. Will have lots of bruises this eve from being battered and fought hard.

Joel Grant 8- Came on and made a big impact on the game. Beat his man a number of times, gave us an outlet and created some good openings.

'Entertaining game'!!!!! Blimey mate you need to get out more. I know you live in a desert but....

From the perspective of a fan, it could have gone either way for the full 90 mins, was end to end and a hell of a lot better than the last few games. So yeah, I'd say it was entertaining.

Strange comment about 'getting out more' from a fella who regularly picks arguments on a fans forum :lol:

I think the saying is "damp squib".

[IJN]

I enjoyed the game.

Plus we tried til the very end.

Green Tint here, no problems with being called that either.

 

[EyeOpener]

A much better performance today although Rovers were very poor....

 

[rsp4]

My son has just got back and in his word very poor and a dire game between 2 teams looking more like relegation candidate's

He also said there is something wrong with the players. Being so close to them he could see by body language and talking all is not right in the PAFC world.

'Tried til the very end'. ?! :facepalm: That was very good of them. One of the few positives - they didnt give up.

 

[Dazzy3000]

Anyone see the argument at the end between Wotton and some matey in the home end?

Just need some luck in front of goal he says. If you miss an open goal it aint bad luck I'm afraid Derek.

the player or former player?
