Barnet - Plymouth

[BeeArmy]

We need the points to stay in with chasers outside the play offs. January is a very tough month for us, with us playing the top three. Hoping to see some of the new players join the squad. Hoping for three points but I can see us losing this one.

Stephens
Vilhete Dembele Nelson Johnson
Ryce sesay Taylor Gambin
Akinde akpa

How many fans do you reckon will travel Plymouth ?

We've sold out our initial allocation and have been given more. So over a 1000 easy. I'm going. Will take a point. If we can keep Akinde quiet I think we'll stand a chance of all 3. Either 1-1 or 1-2 to us.

 

[BeeArmy]

what was your initial allocation?

what was your initial allocation?

i think a thousand and as Leon said we appear to have sold out.

Depends on the formation Adams uses. For twenty five-thirty minutes yesterday we were unplayable, but for the first 45 we looked like we have never played before, and the last twenty we just held on. I hope he drops Miller and plays Threlkeld as right back, in which case we'll be more balanced. I suspect he may put Songo a centre back in midfield and play Bully at centre back which can make us harder to break down. We may possibly run out of juice having played 120 minutes on a rugby pitch at Newport followed by a typical hard physical game against Wycombe. However, our bench is stronger than last years. Watch out for Garita, our number 26, he is a handful as a typical old school centre forward. He really got up Crawley's nose yesterday. As ever the key for us is Carey, if you keep him out the game we look only above average, if he has room and dominates we win.

If Plymouth can stay asleep for the rest of the game that would be much appreciated

Ref was shocking for both sides today. Rightly got a bollocking at the end.

Great performance and barring some wasteful play up front we could've had a few more, although we were solid at the back too. Withstood a few storms at times - Nelson was immense, along with both Taylor's and Santos. Vilhete and Johnson struggled at times. Stephens kicking was awful.

Big game at Orient up next.

Impressive performance today. Don't know how much Plymouth were thinking about Liverpool, but we thoroughly deserved the win today.

Maybe there's a massive gulf between League 1 and 2, but if not, then on today's showing (standard disclaimer - only one game) I don't know why Santos was let go. Outstanding debut alongside Nelson.

Loving the ball being near to the grass.

Five products from our youth team and in Jack Taylor we have a serious talent. I rate Carey but Taylor was the best midfielder on the park by a mile. And not 19 until June.

I was impressed with Plymouth's approach play but we defended extremely well throughout and deserved our win after what was a thoroughly absorbing clash.

Make no mistake, we were under the cosh for large spells but we created numerous chances and should have added a second to seal a fine win. Impressive debut from Santos and Akinola showed glimpses but Jack Taylor is the one to watch. He is a serious talent and whenever he got on the ball, he created something purposeful. He is now the focal point of our team and is dictating the way we play which is a massive credit to him and the youth coaches for honing such a talent (and keeping him off the radar!).

With the sudden emergence of Taylor and the signings we've made, plus strong players to return from injury, we could well remain serious contenders for that 7th spot.
