2020/21 General Match Thread

These decisions seem to follow Wycombe around unfortunately.

Says a fan of a team that has "Diving" Danny Hylton playing for them He's despised by fans of any team that Luton play against as he's a diving cheat and he's not ashamed by his actions.

RE: our game with Covvo.

Nice to get a home win at last - hopefully we've turned a corner now - which is scary to say that none of the summer signings played and finally we won...

Cov could have been 2-0 up within 5 minutes but a mistake at the back and we punished them for it (nice that it didn't happen to us for once). Some absolutely dreadful defending from Coventry saw us 2-0 up. Then 3-0 up from more bad defending within 25 minutes. Absolutely bonkers! Then some bad defending by us sees it 3-1.

2nd half Coventry pass the ball about, but without purpose - however I thought we managed the game excellently. Both teams created chances in the 2nd half to score, but all in all - a deserved home 3 points

The best entertainment coming out of Plymouth footy wise is that we've got a sweepstake going on our forum for which fixture will be our first win.

The forum's mods are a touch ambitious only including the fixtures up until the end of February. I think it'll be August next year.

No Christmas push for the play offs this time then?

The Rochdale result was the same old story of our season so far. Started slow and if not for a wayward finish from Wilbraham (I think) would have been 1-0 down again. Once we finally woke up we scored 3 goals in 8 minutes with Josh Maja continuing his scoring form and Chris Maguire continuing to be one of our stand out players.

That was our first win for a little while so it was much needed to keep up with the pace setters at the top with Peterborough at home and Doncaster away coming up soon. Coventry up next who we've only beaten 3 times away since our first visit in the 30s.

When do you play us, easy money if you're betting on it.

 

[Gassy]

You think he would be used to that by now this season.

Our first goal was a foul on the keeper (it wasn’t)

It wasn’t a foul that led to our penalty (it was and we should have had another one in the second half which he didn’t mention, interestingly)

Ok just watched

I dont understand in any way possible how that would be a foul on the Plymouth GK. In fact, thats some of the most incompetent goalkeeping I've ever seen at L1 standard.

Can't mention the foul that led to the penalty, but it was certainly a penalty.

Saw today Accrington's manager John Coleman and his assistant have signed a 4 year contract. What confidence this gives to the team and fans and shows great stewardship from the Chairman, oh yes they are as Lancashire as they come Ps apologies to any Accy fans, this could be forrunner of some bad results for you -only joking !

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

We’re gonna win this tinpot league (again)

I'm not your trophy

 

[thewwfc]

They gave you 30 minutes of time waste free football?! Maybe they are putting their old ways behind them!

If only. You lot just thank your lucky stars that league games don’t go to penalties...we had a shootout the other week in the league cup, and our second choice keeper was making a great show of faffing around as much as possible in between each shot...taking his gloves off, then having to put them on VERY SLOWLY before he came back on each time...fiddling around with his hairband to hold back his long hair...god it was embarrassing.

Still, we won, eh, so the footballing gods clearly weren’t THAT upset with us taking a big old dump on the spirit of the game.

At least you acknowledge that WWFC aren’t exactly making any friends in this aspect.

 

[PoshinPretoria]

I wasn't there.

But going on reports, we played ok, Posh were just clinical on the break. The highlights would back that up too, with the 3 Posh second half goals all coming through breaks.

Blimey... wonder when people are going to realize...every Evans team defends the last third away from home. His teams are happy to let the oppo fanny about with it before that and as such the possession stats are always in the favour of the home team.

However, with the possible exception of the Charlton game, we have been the better team in all of our away wins and deserved the three points.

At home it is a vastly different matter. When we are forced to go at 'em we sometimes struggle breaking teams down. In fact Pompey and Doncaster were by far the better teams at London Road.

It's not a case of not realising, we've had more than our fair share of clashes with Steve Evans over the years. You beat us because you've got better players than us, it's that simple.

Yes great news for the club. Coleman has a great relationship with our owner and is so passionate about the club. His first spell in charge was 1999-2012 and he admits he came back a better, more experienced manager after his spells at Rochdale and Southport.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Not unless we sign 4 defenders and a keeper (who are actually of a decent standard)!

 

[nelsonpfc]

A long trip to Rochdale tommorow with us looking to keep the unbeaten run going. Last time out v Wycombe it wasn't pretty, conditions were poor, the standard of football wasn't great either. Was 3-3 there last season, but having dropped 2 points last game think we need to put a few wins on the bounce together with Coventry away and Gillingham at home to come. After coming on and scoring what should have been the winner last week Brett Pitman is pushing for a recall after scoring 4 against Rochdale last season, hopefully he can continue his recent record against them.
The two wide forwards, Lowe and Curtis seem to be the catalist for us at the moment. If you can stop them we seem pretty blunt and run out of ideas quickly. So far this season, we've managed to get at least one of them in the game most matches. Curtis had an off day, but Lowe got two assists. I'm going for a 2-1 win, Pitman and Curtis to score for us, Henderson for Rochdale

 

[Bartonyellow]

Scunny at home.
We have momentum after beating Burnley, but they are a funny team - great on their day, but can also be very average. Do not sure what to expect.
Going to stick my neck out though for a 2-1 win.

 

[Red Horn]

I feel a Hammering coming Plymouth way.

Not a great shock to most really.

 

[Stanleyfan]

Looking forward to a trip to Walsall - a ground I've never been to before. Two in form teams with no injuries. I fancy (yet another) draw to keep our unbeaten away form going.

 

[codaplenty]

Big test for Fleetwood tomorrow against Barnsley and (perhaps) an indication of the progress which we are seeing under Barton. Wes Burns is back after suspension which is a bonus and maybe see Taylor making a debut. Certainly should be the biggest crowd of the season with Barnsley bringing plenty, no doubt many of them will be making a trip to the lights after
An entertaining draw 1-1

 

[Jamo]

We sold our tickets weeks ago, I've been the previous 3 times though so not too fussed.

Always hard games against Fleetwood and they've done us over at Oakwell both times we've played in the league, but we've done a bit better at Highbury. We need to get back to winning ways and I don't expect to tomorrow - I think it'll be a hard fought draw. Although Evans, Madden and Hunter is some attacking line-up for this division and I won't be surprised if we suffer a second loss in a row.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Can see Wimbledon away being a real stroll in the park. 3-0 Oxford in the easiest afternoon of the year.

 

[Gassy]

Gonna have to miss today’s game - don’t think we have (ever?) won in ages at Bradford

Got a feeling we will get at least a point though

 

[WilsdenBantam]

I hope Rovers don't cheat against us like every other team has this season and shoot at our goal, we don't play by them rules lads.

 

[thewwfc]

Great, we’re getting shat upon by our mid-table Essex overlords. Deeply unamused.

 

[Bucket_]

Class game by the sounds of things. Anyone up there today, how were we?

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Haha Bristol Rovers are as shit as us, a long slog for both this season. That game felt like a season in its self.

We’ll score again, don’t know where, don’t know when...

 

[PoshinPretoria]

Blackpool are a bloody good team...probably best we have played this season and were very unlucky not to win. In the end Posh were happy to escape with a point !

 

[Craig]

Fantastic three away points there.

I feel sorry for any Plymouth fans making the trip up here on Tuesday night, it's going to be a massacre.
