It's becoming a habit of ours to conceed early in a match and then have to play catch up for the rest of it. A draw away is a good result IMO but it could so easily have been a win had we been awake from the outset. We are gradually sliding towards a relegation position and consistancy is missing in our game so far this season. This will do nothing to instill confidence into the long-suffering green army's mindset or to ease the pressure on Carl Fletcher. Must do better
Ain't so much the drawing away from home Mrs lalala it's the not winning at home that hurts the most. The season is still young and the points are quite close and cover a number of teams. A win pushes you up a few and a draw or loss can have the opposite effect. It's the gap between you and the bottom two that is important if you aren't doing brilliantly like Gillingham. The gap is a couple of games so it isn't the end of the world right now. We are a bit away from slipping into relegation. I have taken to not listening to away games these days and it is sort of getting superstitious. I do a look on the tele pages a few times through the game but it is quite nerve wracking. Saw 1 - 0 and thought same old then did another look after 15 minutes of second half and saw 1 - 1 thinking same old once more. Two more looks but alas no more score. A couple of other teams struggled tonight by the look of the results who perhaps shouldn't have. We are not alone in the consistency stakes.
2 pts dropped in my opinion........I can only assume that Griffiths "small" injury is still not right.......that can surely be the only reason that he came on so late in the match and after Cowan-Hall. Wycombe were there to be taken and we just cannot do the job against teams that we should be beating.
According to the BBC we where lucky to get a point as Wycombes Conor Hourihane hit the bar in the dying seconds
Stop being naughty you two. There is no devine right for anyone to beat anyone else in any league. Who for example thought Oxford would have lost a couple at home recently. I don't mind the draw away so much. That's reasonable form if you aren't losing those. It's still the home matches that worry me a bit and those are the winnable games.
Spot on Sensible and indeed Plymborn, who's made a similar point in another post, cunningly disguised as a swipe at the Forza Verde/Pasoti brigade. On the football side, conceding goals seems to be the big problem - only 2 clean sheets in 10 league games, quite a comparison from where we left off in 2011/12. Of course, consistent support rather than booing at home games might help.
A wall of sound never made a ball go in or stay out notdistant. Booing has nothing to do with clean sheets. Not that there has been much of it anyway but where there has been it is because Argyle have already conceeded. The form of the two central defenders has a lot to do with clean sheets however and Purse in particular has been guilty of errors this term. Blanchard has been ok but even he also has made a few bloomers. It seems everytime a bloomer is made it ends in a goal against hence the lack of clean sheets. Remember the problem with set pieces we had? Well news for everyone we did get better at them but seem to have gotten worse again. Conceeding a goal is not so bad as long as you can score two however and the lack of scoring previously has added to the problem.
