Match Day Thread versus Sheffield Wednesday

So here we go again for yet another top of the table clash. Have to say we have done pretty well so far with results over the last month even if I haven't always believed what I was posting at the time pre-match. You have to be positive though haven't you. They are on a run and we are on a run so maybe something has to give. You can't really back against Argyle at the minute though can you as they continue to surprise us weekly. Schuey has a shed load of different plans in his locker and he got the right one out last time to beat our bogey side. I have every confidence in him that he will repeat the feat again this time, We can win this one as well.

Hacked off. I'm not going tonight now as have lousy cold and barking like a dog. Really wanted to watch this one as well.

 

Ah we've had that in the house: dodged it myself. So far.

Now I have an annual subscription to Argyle TV, which covers 10 minute and 90 minute match replays, interviews etc. so I'm not quite clear how it works for non subscribers, but you may be able to buy the live match stream for £10.

It's streamed on the club website so it can be watched on whatever computer you use to post here or potentially on a smartphone or similar.

You may also be able to cast it onto your TV from a phone or connect a laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable, which is what I do.

If you have a smart TV with a built in web browser I suppose you could try that but inputting passwords etc is a pig that way.

Give me a shout if you want any help - bearing in mind I'm not a tech professional.

That didn't last long 1 - 1 7 mins

 

1-1...H/T

Hardie...3mins.

Palmer...7mins

 

Poor from Argyle, especially down our right side. Have made chances but need to tighten up.

 

2-1...Cosgrove...90+1

 

2-1...F/T

That's a big 3pts for confidence.

 

Game over and we win again. Have to say half way through it didn't look like we would but subs do it again.

 

It’s just as well you didn’t go Sensible as you’d have been apoplectic during the last 5 minutes.

Firstly, we were robbed of a goal. The ball loops into their net but before it touches ground, a defender hacks it back over his head onto the underside of the bar. It has ti be in to have come back onto the bar and out, but nothing given.

Two minutes later, Cosgrove wriggles free with the ball, one on one from 6 yards although with a defender in close pursuit. There’s contact and he goes down. What striker goes down with the goal at his mercy? But again, nothing given. Definite penalty.

Justice is down though when Cosgrove twists his neck to head home from close range in the 90th minute.

Far from the classic against Ipswich. A midfield melee from start to finish. We were poor in the first half and gave away a deplorable goal due to weak defending on our left, an area which was a real Achilles heel.

The substitutions made a difference, particularly Houghton. Hardie started well but had faded so Ennis and Cosgrove helped to put us on top by the end.

We’ve played another of the stronger teams and battled a tough game out to take the three points. Nobody’s going to complain, including me, but not pretty.

 

Oh and by the way, if anyone asks, Michael Cooper is useless if you know what I mean, nudge, nudge wink, wink?

 

If you can't produce classic football then win ugly. Not all games are going to be classics but ultimately it is the result that matters and especially if it's against a side around you in the table. The only ones to have taken points off us who are at the top end of the table are Portsmouth and that was at their place and they snook it. I just hope when it comes to the lower end of the league the players don't get over confident. When we lose one, and we will, just watch the doom merchants come out of the woodwork and moan for England. It's bound to be against a team near the bottom.

 

We only committed four fouls.....and get two yellows.......they committed fifteen and only get one yellow ?

 

Yeh but our's were better quality fouls of course.......

 

Unlike Ipswich, Wednesday's fouls were all pretty minor... but with a strong dose of cynicism.

Joe Edwards was booked for a reasonable tackle but which ended in the guy tripping over him as much as anything. Five minutes later, Edwards was remonstrating with the referee for not booking one of theirs for something similar. That's referees....

 

Again we do it in final stages! Hope there are some plans to sort out the garden corner as will be needed only if terracing...COYG.
