Match Day Thread versus Derby

Been a while since we played these. Despite the financial ruin and almost liquidation this is one club that I think most fans will think will be up there or there abouts at the end of the season. They have a new squad. They needed one as virtually everyone had left the building before the season started. They have had a reasonable start and this will be tough but I do think we can win it even if we may not. Depends which Argyle turns up this time.




COYG

 

Cooper, Scarr, Butcher, Edwards, Hardie, Mayor, Mumba, Whittaker, Randell, Lonwijk, Galloway.

Subs
Burton, Gillesphey, Houghton, Wilson, Ennis, Cosgrove, Azaz.

Some strong subs to come on later.

 

Who plays the striker role? Hardie or Whittaker?

 

Both ?

 

........................................Cooper...........................................

.........Lonwijk...............Scarr........................Galloway.....

...Edwards.........Randel..........Butcher........Mumba....

.....................Whittaker..............Mayor.........................

........................................Hardie.............................................

Hardie the Striker.

 

Wait until it starts! It’s just that Hardie plays best if he gets a run on the defenders…. Easier from the AM role.

 

Decent first quarter considering: even stephens.

 

But then…. 1-0.

 

1-0...Collins...26mins.

 

2-0...Mendez-Laing...38mins.

Not going well.

 

2 = 0 game over I think.

 

2-0...H/T.

Down to 7th.

 

Worst part of this is that the stats are pretty even so not generally being outplayed.

 

That looks a bit unlucky: more possession, matched them in shots and more corners but 2-0 down. Still, only goals count.

 

Looks like Derby are sitting back a bit: we’re getting the possession but no shots since half time.

 

2-1. Whittaker. Cat & pigeons introduced.

 

2-1...Whittaker...56mins.

Much needed goal....need a few changes now to back up that goal.

Derby bring on two subs.

 

61 minutes.....Azaz on for Mumba...and...Houghton on for Randell.

 

Ennis on for Hardie....68 minutes.

 

Come on Argyle!!
