macca155 Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Run out of ideas, needs a change of tactics. Aribo's physical presence helps break the line, Stu's twinkle toes does the same. Need at least one of them on. Plymouth are playing 5 4 1. It is very difficult to break that down whoever you are. You stick 4 and 5 in then you have to expect this. Going to be a testing 2nd half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_SFC Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Smallbone has been dreadful Alcaraz and Adams not much better. Won't be long before Aribo, Fraser and even Mara come on, surely? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll score, it’ll come, we’ll have to be a bit patient but I’m confident we’ve got more than enough on the bench to turn this in our favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Total domination, but twice they caught us on the break and were three on two. A stronger pacier attack (something like Leicester) and we could easily be behind. I guess you need to ride your luck a bit, but why is Edozie saving us? Where is Manning, a CB or defensive midfielder? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Saint Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Just now, Sheaf Saint said: Don't know what Aribo and Stu did to deserve being dropped. Hopefully they will get some minutes in the second half. We always look worse without Downes. Hope he's gonna be better soon. Edozie has been good again but their RB has done well so far. Let's see how he manages against Fraser once he tires later. They haven't been dropped, they've been rotated due to the amount of games over the festive period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmore Saint Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Sat at the game with Mrs Elmore Saint. Solid half with everything but the end product. Ref a bit all over the place. Confident that we’ll get it in the 2nd half. Big shout to the chapel lads with their singing and all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 I just hope it doesn’t take a Plymouth goal for Russ to make the changes necessary to break their defensive wall down. At the moment there’s not enough balls going I over the top for runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Get to 50 minutes at 0-0 after Plymouth storm out of the blocks then we go for them. Fearing a repeat of the last time we played these guys in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it's far too easy to defend. Plymouth have actually played a fairly high line as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
