We've not lost when I've made one of these, and we really need the boost. 1-0 to Oxford, Mous.
That could work. Needs everybody alert to defensive duties. And leave Napa up top at corners, just in case we can break. Kane and Riccy are fine with running the wings so that ought to give Thomas a chance. Ledson doing everything except getting booked to stop any incursions! High press and give them no time on the ball. (just hope they are all fit)maybe ruffels for Henry for a bit more bite. Ledson to help protect the back 4. Use the pace down the lines. Balls in the box for a forward facing Thomas, and on rushing Henry and rothwell![]()
You look at that team - particularly the midfield - and you wonder why we’re struggling. It’s apparent our problems lie at both ends of the pitch, error prone defence and not enough options up front. Maybe a sneaky win will get confidence going and things will improve..maybe ruffels for Henry for a bit more bite. Ledson to help protect the back 4. Use the pace down the lines. Balls in the box for a forward facing Thomas, and on rushing Henry and rothwell![]()
Brannagan trained with team yesterday. Probably make the bench.All good runs and bad runs come to an end. We have beaten Plymouth so why not again? Expecting a close encounter with a 2-1 to us. Going 2-0 up and conceding with twenty minutes left. Any news on Brannagan?
With them having Ryan Taylor upfront definitely needs to be in the line up. Taylor is exactly what Mousinho and Martin struggled with, the tall hold up striker. Get Mike Williamson in there for no nonsense defending and as a centre back who can challenge for headers.View attachment 209
Our worst nightmare. Haven't seen them play, but from above they put it on the penalty spot a chaos follows.
Our already shakey defence dealing with balls into the box will be put under some serious pressure. Could be a game for Williamson to try and control the box.
Is that a double negative?I predict come 5pm greatunclekip will be absolutely loving life.
Why don't you just quote me as this is clearly aimed at me, after all this is a place of discussion.There really is some incredible arrogance on here at times - Plymouth are punching above their weight are they ???
How often have you seen them recently ?
I have family members who follow Argyle and am dreading tomorrow just as much as I enjoyed Saturday night in Plymouth in November !!!
They are a well organised team playing good quality League One football - by contrast we are the polar opposite at present
My family members are obviously biased but I have a friend follows Shrewsbury Town and went last weekend - told me plain and clear that they were the best outfit he had seen this season and "destroyed" (his word not mine) the Shrews in every area of the pitch - he accepted 100% that the best team won and should have done so more convincingly
Ryan Taylor is a "donkey" is he - well if he is then he is still better than bloody Obika by a country mile so what does that make Obika (and the rest of our forward line for that matter) - Taylor will never be a great player but he is hard working and a team player - far more than we currently have here - I would far rather have him on our team sheet than any of our current crop up front
I really hope we can do another Charlton and turn the form book over as it will help us all get a little bit closer to safety and relaxation as well as retain my bragging rights but why diss a team who have gone from bottom to play offs like this
I am not clever enough to be able to work out how to put your direct quote in my piece but yeah fair enough i was referring to your comment and am of course happy enough to discuss - as you say that's the purpose of the forum.
If he’s not there, then he has very good reason not to be.We must all give Faz 100% support on Saturday. He deserves it, thrown into the deep end with virtually no support from the daydreamers on the pitch. Will the "invisible man" be in attendance, or away on business? The latter, I would imagine.
A fit Obika? Tough one. What’s the longest run of games Obika has been fit? Can’t be that many unfortunately.
Let’s bloody face it, Macdonald, Hoban, Skarxz, Edwards, Matt Green would all walk into our team right nowThanks for the help with that - I can do it next time now
Agree with the other sentiments expressed too
Yeah it has come to this that we are considering Ryan Taylor like this - it will be Macca next (to be fair another decent hard working lad who never let us down)
