Plymouth v Yeovil match day thread

Crowd 8,529 away 495

Good win. DA has somehow very quickly gelled a bunch of very average players into a tight cohesive unit. Success is 100% completely down to Adams and completely despite brent. I still don't think we can be promoted as I don't think DA will be here until the end of the season and neither will Carey - which will be down to brent.

BRENT OUT

That was almost your most positive post ever until the final few words.

Don't ever change Freathy:

Adams doing marvelous job with what he has. Real turn around and absolutely no credit to the Chairman who one again cant believe his good fortune with results on the pitch overshadowing everything else

I think it was called administration....difficult under those circumstances.

Must admit that people like Spencer,Donaldson,Bradley and Miller seemed far from average yesterday-looks like Del may have uncovered some finds there in the same way as Dave Smith did with people like Garry Nelson and Kevin Summerfield,whose careers were not especially great before they came here and blossomed.Mind you it was only a week ago that Argyle turned in a pretty average display,so maybe it would be wise not to get carried away with some apparently tough fixtures coming up.

A good result but still wise to look at he whole picture, some smashing highlights.

Despite the great result and the welcome glow the performance gave we shouldn't be too cocksure too soon. We won the game easily but had Yeovil been a bit sharper they'd've been much more in it than they were.

I didn't think there was much in until the first goal for which Spencer showed a little bit if confidence and class, took his time, found a yard and then slotted beautifully (via a deflection) into the top left corner. A beauty based on a moment of individual brilliance to be sure but not without a hint of fortune.

About 2 minutes later Donaldson did his trademark 10 yard run into space before squaring a ball that would have made Ray Wilkins ejaculate which was then shovelled on quickly (a Fox trademark?) to Jervis who from almost the exact same blade of grass that Spencer had scored from benefitted from almost the exact same deflection and the ball went into almost the exact same corner of the goal.

2-0 and game over.

So you might have thought.

But just before HT Yeovil got forward, won a couple of corners and got men, bloody enormous ones too mostly, into the box. Argyle half cleared and the second ball, a clever little diagonal pass, created a sitter they couldn't and didn't miss.

The second half was all theirs to start with. Buoyed by that goal they set about getting the equaliser and nearly did several times as we seemed to struggle a bit with balls into the box but as they pressed they were always vulnerable to the break.

Thelkeld and Tanner came on as subs and the fresh legs blew the game apart. The space they created left Carey with acres to himself, he set himself up and plonked it home from about 30 yards as easy as you like. Utterly brilliant. Carey is fast becoming a legend and is the best player we've had in years.

At 3-1 it was finished but Tanner's energy and persistence robbed the last man of the ball, he then rounded the 'keeper and squared a beauty to Jervis who tapped into an empty net for the easiest goal he'll ever score. Jervis owes Tanner the old "case of beer for that one" if ever anybody did.

So there it was 4 moments of brilliance, with 2 of them helped by a deflection, and it was job done and done in no little style (in truth we might have rattled up 6 or 7) but on another day the deflections might not have gone in, Yeovil might not have squandered their chances and it all might have been very different.

Oh yeah... and...

When did we last score 4 goals in a match?

Will be interesting to see the reluctant one's response when the January window kicks in.
We all know that the teams around us in the league who strengthend their squads in January, achieved some success, we struggled on with a "threadbare squad"  as Derek said.
The rest as we say is history

Looked at the video a few times and can only see one deflect....and that was the second.

We thought Spencer was a deflection untill we saw the highlights, no deflection there.

I've not seen the highlights.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought it was deflected, even if it wasn't, though.

That makes Spencer's goal even better than I thought it was.

I was sitting near the back of block 14 and I thought the first 2 goals were both deflected.
Watched the highlights yesterday and it seems that Spencer's goal wasn't.
Some good goals scored on Saturday, and a real enjoyable experience for me, being back amongst good mate.

Yeah I know.

Problem being since a recent computer foul-up if I try to stream a video then it either doesn't play properly and stutters so badly it is unwatchable or it totally crashes out.

If anybody knows how to rectify this I'd be very grateful.

Buy a new one?
