*~*~* Plymouth v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[scott934]

Sheff wed stuffed Plymouth, we stuffed sheff wed, Plymouth beat us. Football... what a game.

This is it like, the Championship isn't the PL, the gap between the top and the bottom isn't always massive.

 

[Nelson!]

We're right now finding out our real form and when hot were nearly unstoppable and when were poor we lose. This season has got mid table written all over it.

P.S.
A promotion side either nicks a win, or forces a draw when poor.

So the first four games weren’t “real form” but when we lose that’s the “real form”? . Great logic.

 

[MarcoG]

Their performance was the best we've come up against so far this season by a mile so fair play to them for that. Thought they looked threatening first half without playing overly well but stepped up a fair bit second half and deserved to win.

As good as Rigg is it's the second time after the Burnley game where he's been incapable of touching the ball in the second half, it's a good example of why he doesn't need to be in the team every week.

Browne probably comes in for Rigg next week and if Mepham's up to speed then bring him in for Ballard. No need to panic though, sure everyone would have taken four wins from five to start the season.

Why is there so much hate for Rooney? And why do people think he is this joke of a manager? Overall he's done alright. Birmingham didn't go well but he didn't get a transfer window.

 

[Safc98]

He we go what. Someone has commented on what happened today. The clue of the subject matter is in the thread title, if you don’t want to read comments why open the thread?

Glad they’ve got something to be happy about for the first find this season.

Shut up man promotions sides also lose games sometimes. 4 wins one loss by one goal away from home and now we're mid table bet you've been sat waiting since season kicked off to moan like the rest of the miserable fuckers on here

He shagged my nana and then nicked my hair

I think in the end Plymouth we’re desperate for that first win and wanted it more than we did, Regis mentioned in his press conference about confidence not be enough and that you have to earn the win and we didn’t earn that today. I think some fans we’re just expecting Plymouth to roll over for us not how football works

Well that's Leeds, Burnley, Middlesbrough, Coventry, us and Norwich who aren't promotion sides then.

 

[Shibby Safc]

Whole defence was pathetic, Ballard the worst of the lot.

 

[bahtat]

Lost 7 out of the last 10 like

Maybe I’m being stupid but had we won today I’d be worried about Boro but if the team have anything about them they’ll want to put today right next week,

 

[Blind Joe Death]

Peak championship.

Fair play to Plymouth second half. They made their own luck.

Poor by our standards and a reality check. Can’t get complacent, there’s no easy games in this division.

I think DB's very unlucky for the OG, the irony being that's two OG's in two matches. Pobably not happen again for 50 years.

Mepham will look at that today and think he’s got a good chance of getting on soon.

Boro are a decent team, I expect them to give us a good game next week, they're probably on a similar level to us.

Could have been worse. May have nicked your Nana's hair and shagged you

 

[RedWhiteWizards]

Lose one game and suddenly Patto, Ballard, and Neil are all shite. Be the same people who were saying we were going to destroy them before the game.

Four wins out of five has mid table written all over it? That's an amazing comment. I mean, truly logic defying.

Didn’t proctor score a hat trick of own goals against Charlton

 

[G Whizz]

It's easy to say with hindsight that we should have sat back at 2-2 but I'd have been disappointed if we did. They looked dead on their feet and the momentum was with us. And they are absolute chod.

he's thick as a can of tuna soaked in brine
