deckyd Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Be an interesting line up on Boxing Day. Pray that Doyle and Bryan are back. Need Hunt to start as well along with Tope. Im gutted with todays result because i really believed we pick up 6 points over Xmas. Should of known better eh!! Flynn did okay today, thats about it. Byrne had his worst game for us, McLaughlin is pace with his head down and cant beat a man or cross a ball. Jonny was of the boil today and we basically made Plymouth look a good side. That said if people are ill they get a pass for today. MOM would be Flynn. Passed to peoples feet, tried to let fly a few times, okay game. Need to up thier game for Boxing Day. We move on. Happy Christmas everyone, hope Santa brings me a bottle of Tequila to help me forget today..... Edited December 23, 2017 by deckyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle and Bryan missing and we get tonked! I'd be on the phone to Preston and City to extend those loans now! Why is it two steps back rather than 1 ?

Getting drilled by a side in the bottom 3 by 1-4, plus the realization that we absolutely need those players missing today who will be leaving in a couple of weeks is two steps back to me, Bosh.

oafc1955 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Let’s hope it is down to illness and not financial, however, this is Latics and I’m half expecting bombshell news about the collapse of the takeover!!

Pretty sure we already knew we need to keep Bryan and Doyle prior to todays tonking. Its not news to us that we play better with these 2 in the team.

rudemedic Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 1.) Whoever said Carey ran the show for them prior to the game was absolutely spot-on. He was the best player on the pitch by some distance. 2.) If we are signing Lamerias then he’ll be decent, but may drift in and out of games. 3.) I’m a big fan of 3 at the back but it didn’t work and I’m not sure why Clarke wasn’t one of the three. 4.) Flynn was our best player. 5.) Hope Placide is all right. The 4 minutes added time in the first half was predominantly due to him having an ankle problem- I think he got trod on. 6.) The rumour going round was an illness- for the first 10 minutes all the team played like they weren’t well. 2-0 down and it was always going to be a mountain to come back. 7.) We were the better side for the last 35 minutes of the first half and for some of the second half. Could easily have been 2-2 at the break. 8.) That Plymouth side will not go down, but they have to keep that side for the rest of the season. 9.) Quite a bit of niggle in the game. 10.) Merry Xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be corrected, but is there much evidence of this working well? We tried it at Blackpool and there seemed enough evidence there to suggest we should never try it again. Ditto playing one up front. Preston fan in work says a reason why Doyle is out of favour there is because they play with one up front and Doyle just can't play as a lone striker. There is enough going against us keeping him and I reckon if we were to start playing that formation, he'll be happier to go elsewhere. Plus there isn't much evidence for one up front working for us in general (The Northampton game doesn't count because we probably could have played nine at the back and still scored four...).

cornishblue Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just back from the game awful first 10 minutes and bloody awful defending for all goals and like I said give Carey space and time and he will do the business and I was proved right credit to Argyle they did their homework worked out that Wilson was the weak link in a back 3 put Carey out there on him and low and behold they were 2-0 up. Could have been 3-3 in the second half and yet it was 4-1. Lots of my Argyle friends saying it was the best they have played all season typical it was against us but perhaps it was us that made them look good. Bryan was a massive miss. Hopefully if it was an Inness he will back for Boxing Day if not and that is the last we have seen of him then a good run and the play offs will be a pipe dream.

Still a more plausible reason for their absence than the idea that a rookie manager deliberately weakened his team in order to prove a point. In my opinion.

In my opinion. Yeah but if Doyle was ill. I know where my money would be on him catching said illness. It wouldn’t be from the hospital visit by some other members of the side. Nor would it be on his own Primary School visit. It would be a lot closer to his own home. No conspiracy. Just some simple common sense.
