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

[Sweeper]

It hasn't been shocking stop being silly

What game are you watching? We can’t string five passes together against a team that’s set up to let us have the ball.

 

[Veteran2]

According to this board Embleton, Wright, Stewart, Onien Matete are all useless, so it is surprising we are still at 0-0.

 

[Drifter]

Has Clarke played on the right before?

 

[SAFC_Jack]

Would it be mad to take Stewart off and leave Broadhead up on his own?

O’Nien is lost as is Embleton

Embleton played the pass of the half and should have got something from two half chances cutting inside.

 

[RossTheNinja]

We've been crap but we can turn this around. I think we need to go 442

 

[Cream Soda]

You can’t be expecting to win games like this with O’Nien in the starting line up.

Take him out, put a proper player in and we win this game

Yer da claims universal credit

 

[Cuddles]

Bit scrappy. I think we've made better openings and just the final ball hasn't been right.

Looks like we have them with the ball in behind if we get it right.

 

[MackemMagic]

Been one of our best players

Disagree. He’s not played badly, not played well - just doesn’t impact games enough for me. Truly hope this comes back to haunt me

 

[Zweiguys]

Patterson looking sharp.

 

[Bg86]

Pundits on league 1 games are always wank, may as well just have an AI voice spew cliches on loop

 

[Venkman]

Agreed. One of the few to emerge from that circus with any credit.

He's been in the right place nearly every time they've caught us on the break. If Winchester and Wright stopped just booting it over the midfield it'd help.

O'Nien has been poor at LWB - but that's not surprising.

 

[one armed boxer]

O’nien just doesn’t get involved enough, possibly still not at full fitness. Matete on the other hand tends to try and get involved too much, steaming into our players and generally getting in the way. I’d take o’nien off and bring Roberts or gooch on.

 

[Zidane]

I think its simply two sides who are defensively minded matching up into a midfield battle.

Game will be decided on a mistake, poor marking etc.

 

[Horley Chorley]

This is a very winnable game for us, if we can get the ball down and wake the fuck up.

Is Broadhead pissed ?
Every time he goes near the ball, the move breaks down

We also need to either find a system, which gets the best out of Stewart, or we should cash in an sell him, because once he's feeding on scraps here, and getting very little to no service in and around the box.

We can still win this game, but need to improve in the 2nd half.

 

[Ambivalent Dave]

Aimless balls over the top. 1 in 10 finding their man, then a shit first touch.

We look tired. I’d far rather we kept possession in their half.

 

[Sweeper]

Has Clarke played on the right before?

About as often as O’Nein has played as a LWB. Genuinely puzzling selections.

 

[fredthefan]

Christ no

I’d have him on for O’Nien

 

[dangermows]

I think its been ok to be honest, both sides comfortable on the ball. Plymouth seem to have pace in their defence particularly which is making it difficult

Comfortable on the ball? Aye, if no one is coming to them and thry have time. The decision making, passing and creativity has been hilarious. Your final point is correct mind, making our front men look pedestrian.

 

[SAFC_WB]

Embleton , as he is most games , generally a passenger. Really missing Pritchards quality in that area.

 

[RossTheNinja]

Wombles *fighting for their lives)1 - 0 Wycombe at HT

Would take a point from this match if the other result holds.

Haway the womblers
