Brief synopsis

[Balham Green]

Some absolute rubbish being posted about Ladapo.
If you think he just ‘runs about a lot’ and is ‘enthusiastic’ you’re probably the same people who reckoned Bolasie was a headless chicken.

He’s a completely different type of player to Taylor.

Gee, why the constant negativity?

Has it occurred to you that we may have two outstanding forwards in the squad? One of whom will be highly sought after before long, and command a high fee should we not be able to resist. And I know which one that is.

So how many times you seen him play Justin?

 

[Justin]

Said it on many a thread since the Wycombe game. Ladapo is a more enthusiastic Jervis in that CF position, but he isn’t a persistent shaper. Taylor is a disciplined physical presence prepared to do the hard yards and maintain the shape for the inside forwards (when we attack) to exploit some space. He gave away a harsh pen against Southend but led the line well in a poor team performance but hasn’t started since. Unless he’s not match fit, i don’t understand why.

Ladapo is a great Plan B, the best we have had for several years but Taylor is the only way Derek’s current formation becomes effective, until that component is firing, we are trucked.

It is just a pity Argyle do not have a game plan or 8 outfielders that would allow both Tayor and Lapado to be upfront together and be successful. Tynan & Clayton did it as did Rafferty and Mariner. Am I expecting too much in the second decade of the 21st Century?

I think there is the germ of a plan developing not too dissimilar QG. It’s just very unlikely we’ll start with a 442. A 443 with Ladapo wide and Taylor down the middle might be an option a la Arsenal with Aubameyang and Lacazette.

4 times. More than enough to spot an outstanding talent in the position I know most about.

30-odd years ago, unfortunately. Football has moved on, and very few top teams now play two centre forwards up front together.

You didn't play in that position!

Exactly.

Play Taylor as the one up-front with Ladapo playing the Jervis role, out wide running at the full back and cutting infield when necessary.

Exactly. Derek Adams take note!

So many positives to take out of today. I think most of us would have taken a point going into the game yet it felt like we were very hard done by at the end.

A clean sheet to start with, Macey looking very confident between the sticks. After Rovers had their 10 minute spell at the start of the game, we controlled most of the 1st half. Both sides were better in the 2nd half but only one team really looking likely and still can't work out how we didn't score today.

Some harsh criticism of Freddie on here today, I thought he worked his socks off and chased down lost causes and very much contributed. Joel Grant was superb coming on, causing absolute havoc to their right back and consistently getting in behind.

Good pubs as ever, the Wellington had some nice stuff on but was very busy very early. Found a hidden gem, the Annexe Inn about a 10 minute walk from the ground. Lovely little place and very welcoming.

Hopefully we've turned a corner today anyway, onwards and upwards....

Not intended to be at arrogant. But as usual you choose to misinterpret my post.

Are you and Balham Green some kind of dark double act who attack anyone who dares to stick up for one of our players?

I thought Ladapo was outstanding up too today with limited resources, he held the ball up well when fed the correct ball, and ran the channels efficiently. When he had the opportunity to turn and run at the back four he scared the life out of them. His distribution with the ball at his feet was neat and tidy as well. I personally prefer him up top than Taylor. I think everyone is in agreement that he has been one of the better signings, and if Taylor does manage to take his place going forward it can only be a good thing and means Taylor will be at his best. Im sure a scoring streak is just round the corner for Ledapo. A point away from home is a good point wherever you go, and I am sure there are poorer sides in L1 than BR, even if they were fairly uninspiring today.

On a personal note the 12.30pm kick off was a god send, waking up at 3am here in NZ to watch Argyle so far this season has been hard work! To add to the pain the only victory against BC was was not being streamed due to location restrictions! Agree with the earlier post, surely Radio Devon can find a more inspiring commentator than Shaun McCarthy......

And after Justin collects his award you can then pick up the Most unjustified post 2018. The man is just expressing a forthright opinion, far more passionate than some of the other "I know more than you" dross we get here.

The post was exactly that 'I know more than you'

Lapado doesn't need defending from me, I thought he was our most dangerous player today. I'd like to see him up top with Taylor.
