Once again we didn't press home our advantage when we totally dominated them for first half hour. During that time Jervis was waltzing past his full back as and when he wanted & Carey was linking well with Kennedy. However good the football is we do not work the opposition keeper enough.
Last 10 we played with Blisset, Spencer and Taylor up front but apart from one cleverly worked interchange we huffed & puffed. Kennedy was motm and our onlytrue threat.
Disappointing but a good open game. Thomas and Alessandra had good games for them. The pools fans I spoke to have been impressed by Rooney so far
I think this sums up Argyle perfectly.
Unfortunately we don't dominate games for more than 10-15mins. We can't seem to press home an advantage and the build on it. We concede and it takes way too long for us to recover. If we ever do.
I can't put my finger on it because something is wrong with the make up of the side. I'm not talking about the players. It's more to do with the tactical side. There is something tactical that doesn't get the best out of our team, unless it's in brief spells. It's not a fitness issues as he trains them hard. I don't think it's a lack of fight either as they keep going to the end.
It's baffling. Every opposition team fans seems to praise how well their team plays against us. Hartlepool fans are delighted tonight apart from the first 10-15 mins. They see today as a starting point because they haven't had a performance like this under Dave Jones. Not sure why we can't outclass these teams when over the past couple of weeks other teams, supposedly weaker than us have, do it we ease.
