Wycombe W...v...Plymouth A......3pm on Saturday...1st...Nov. This is Argyle's third successive away game of five on the trot.....Wycombe are W3...D2...L2 at home this season....with a 12-7 goal difference.......so maybe a chance if the right Argyle turn up. A good run in the Cup can kick-start a teams season....as well as being financially beneficial. No replays...extra time and then penalties if necessary . We have some good recent FA Cup memories.
Been a discussion on pasoti about the "Wycombe Way" that they used to play under Gareth Ainsworth.....that became notorious and hated by all and seen as anti-football. But that style changed under Matt Bloomfield.......but more recently Wycombe have fallen apart.....and in September Michael Duff has come in as their new manager.....so we're hoping that any new manager bounce is starting to wear off by now. So they're going through a transitional stage at the moment like us.....and doing slightly better than we are with a league position of....17th with 16pts from their 14 games. So just maybe we might have a chance....as long as we keep to a plan and do not fall to an early goal and then of course turn into the headless chicken that we become far to regularly.

0-0...H/T Wycombe.....12 shots one on target.....Argyle one shot none on target. Ross and Ibrahim both on yellow cards.
2-0...F/T.....(90+9mins) Woodrow...(67mins pen...79mins) Taylor...(87mins red card). Wycombe...18 shots 5 on target. Argyle...4 shots one on target......(last shot of the game on target ?) The inevitable 2-0 defeat...poor...poor...poor.
Turned the TV on in time to see Jatta score......didn't we try to buy him this summer ?......not a good day.
I find it worrying that Wycombe who are just above us in the league and struggling themselves....can totally dominate the statistics and stop us having any shots on target until the 97th minute.....what tactics are we using.....are we playing with one leg tied up behind our back and unable to make sense of Cleverley's instructions..............it cannot go on like this......4 consecutive defeats.....one goal scored...8 conceded. Wimbledon who we lost to....looked a prediction certainty for a win today (mucked up my joker)....but they lost at home 0-2 to Gateshead who are FIFTEENTH in the National League. Are we so bad that those we lose to aren't up to much themselves either......how much longer will this go on for......and with Cleverley just been given the managements ok as well.....maybe most of the newbies in management aren't up to the job as well....it is a disaster all the players and management that left this summer.....was there no one thinking straight to stop it happening.
