    Plymouth are the best team in the league right now. Won last 5 without conceding. Won 9 of last 11. They look a really well balanced side who know what they are doing. Noy saying we wont do it, but they would have to be favourites.

    Disappointing result but, honestly, not a disaster given other results around us. Still think we will make the playoffs and from there anything can happen.

    I think they lost five in a row not too long back, strange outfit.

    They are in great form but they have had a pretty easy run of games (I know they still have to be won!!). Their run-in is probably the toughest of all the teams in contention!

    I dont doubt it, all teams have runs, I just wish we were on their run now rather than ours. I struggle to see us, based on the last couple of months, matching the level of form they have displayed over the same period. I tend to think it more likely we make the play offs than not as I am, just, because I think those behind us a flaky and Oxford have started to show signs of creaking. We will need to find more goals than we have been though to do it.

    That seems fair to me. Arguably we have had a very easy run too though and Lincoln are a poor side. Based on their form I doubt Plymouth will be worrying about playing teams at the top because barring MK they are all showing signs of weakness. One thing though, trying to predict who beats who is never the same on paper as on the pitch

    And twice on Sunday.

    Shouldn't have needed it but that would have been the 3 points!

    Only excuse the ref could possibly have would be the sun in his eyes (looking at the shadows) although the lino should have flagged it

    Dunno if it has been posted but just watched Niels post match interview, I think he’s the perfect fit for us and if for any reason we don’t go up this season I’d put my cock on next

    Despite the obvious penalty debates
    Their goalie wasn't troubled
    We must have had 5 or 6 shots that were near misses
    Same as last match
    Defoe should have been bought on at start of 2nd half
    They had nowt to offer
