But you like many others are always pessimistic about Argyle,even when they are on a winning run.Oddly you like many others don’t post so much when they are doing well.

Two games in and already MAJOR cause for concern :lol: Try supporting the team instead of moaning the whole time.

Poor at best. Thank god Southend couldn’t finish. A lot of work to be done on the training ground. Taylor was far too isolated up front, on the few occasions he got the better of his man there was no one anywhere near him. Apart from the hoof our build up was too slow, too many passes going astray. Too many similar players in the midfield. The general lack of pace in the side is what worries me the most. Two games in against sides who are mid table material at best but both have ripped through us time and time again both with wide men and through the middle.

It’s not all doom and gloom and I am confident we will not be in the same position as after 10 games last season. We look to have picked up a very good keeper, the full backs do look to have something about them going forward, just need to get the ball to them a bit quicker. With Grant, Ness and Fox we have 3 good passing midfielders just think we need a Songo’o or Sarcevic in there with two from the three.

Three words for you: Expectation, reality and disappointment.

I was buzzing before the game, all those new players! Our year at last! :scarf: (Expectation)

Then I watched that match, I watched our 'football' and I watched Saarrfend play. (Reality).

It didn't make me happy, tonight I'm gwain get ratarsed. Even though Dr says no. (Disappointment)

Doesn't make me (or Tuggers) a bad supporter. Doesn't make you a better supporter than us.

I live in the real world. I want to be really optimistic about our chances tonight, I'm not.

Hopefully it will change tomorrow and all will be well but I'm not practicing blind faith in Argyle after 54 years of attending and paying my money.

As Tuggers said: Thangew and goodnight! :wave:

Edwards far and away the best player for me. Both the fullbacks looked half decent. Only two games but I'm yet to see what C Grant does in the midfield besides being there. Freddie looks like he has something about him, could imagine him progressing as the season continues.

All in all, a stolen point. Onwards and upwards.

Sadly I did. We weren't good by any stretch but it's early in the season and there's a lot of football to be played, so just focusing on the positives.

Edwards wasn’t anywhere near being our best player.

It wouldn’t be Argyle without a stumble somewhere in the season,after 40 years of supporting them,nothing has changed in that respect.Name me more than a couple of season where everything has gone perfect lol

But you gave Macey 4 so it's impossible to take your opinion seriously

You like several others only post when things don't go well, so it's hard to take you seriously.

i upped it to five yesterday as i thought i was a little harsh.i think he will be good but i was nervous with him in goal yesterday.i repeat i think he will turn out to be a good signing.we all have opinions and you usually take the negative view which i defend you your right to take.

Neither Fox or Edwards have played well in the first two games of the season, but they are not the only reasons for the team not perfoming as well as they should
