Plymouth Argyle Transfer Rumour Round-up

[rsp4]

Scott Twine anyone👍👍👍

We need a Sam Vokes type player

A lump that’s hard to defend…

 

[tawtongreen]

Could we entice him away & afford him.....Cole Stockton??

 

[MGM]

If you going to get a Sam Vokes type then you need to get balls into the box with quality. Which is something we are weak at.

Look at Wycombe’s second goal involving him. All about the delivery and where that delivery comes from on the pitch.

 

[RKB]

Regarding Simpson, not sure Ipswich will want to help us be stronger by letting him come to us on loan. If he's released, different story. Definitely the type we need.

 

[Balham Green]

Hmm Scrap that. He's expensive, too old and slow and done nothing for years. He won't fit our system either. So having taken a little longer to think about Eaves - it's a no from me.

So do we need a targetman or not?

I don't think we are that weak at getting balls into the box. Just that nobody in a month of Sundays is likely to get on the end of them.

Surely that says we need to improve the quality of ball into the box?

 

[Andy S]

Or the quality of those capable of sticking their collective heads on the end of a half decent cross.

 

[MGM]

The trouble is those half decent crosses are rare.

For example the Wycombe match. It was Sessengon great run to the byline in the first half and Garrick got on the end of it and missed. Nothing like this service for the rest of the game.

Ennis against Sunderland gets on the end of a Sessengon run to the byline in the first half. Fires it at keeper. Again though after this there is very little service.

You watch Wycombe earlier tonight. It’s cross after cross into an area where it’s dangerous. They scored from two crossing opportunities but it’s the number of times they get the ball in an area of danger.

You have to keep asking questions of the opposition. Not expect to score from the odd crossing opportunity like we give our forwards.

With all these attacking deficiencies, clearly 7th was a miracle.

 

[DartPilgrim]

I would guess , the generosity of opposing defences ( due to the predictability of our play and lack of tactical acumen we apparently have ) would likely account for most of our points over the last three seasons .

 

[JannerinCardiff]

So do we need a targetman or not?

No for me. We need another Hardie type.

 

[mutley marvel]

Wycombe play a certain way & have the personnel to be able to execute it
Remember they were a Championship club last season & the majority of the players on their team sheet are Championship quality
For our team to finish 7th on 80 points should not be sniffed at- we finished above numerous so called big boys on what has been rumoured to be a bottom half budget
To pull to pieces the achievement of the wonderful bunch of players that worn the beloved green is just plain wrong- we ran out of steam, we had a small squad, we had injuries to key players, we had players that weren't fully fit but carried on playing through the pain barrier - give these players credit
Schuey has come out & said we lack quality at times, but the players didn't quit, gave there all in every game & left everything on the pitch
Some people have spoken about i want this player, that player (they sound like Verruca Salt out of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory)- our custodian as said on numerous occasions we have a business model, we have a budget
We have a wonderful management team who will pull out the stops to get players that will enhance what we have- we just lack a little bit of quality in key areas that will enable us to break the top six voodoo (being able to consistently beat & play the top six at their own game)
I have complete faith that they will be able to find what they are looking for

This is a tactic sturrock used regularly, remember him saying, that the more the ball is in the box the more we will score.
