Walsall match thread...

You don't think playing sixth tier German sides in Holland was helpful - surely not.

Août..... a football free zone.
Make it illegal to charge for entry to a professional "league" football match in the month of August. That'll stop 'em.

At last the closed season is over so we can just talk about the football.

Going on the radio commentary it would seem Argyle were unlucky to lose this match.

Tbf Village Radio Devon commentary is Slightly bias
I suppose a draw would maybe been a fair result all round

Apart from the definate pen that we were lucky not to see a red for.

From sounds of it the defence don't seem to have got to know one another yet given the Arsenal chaps in goal now whats the excuse, Sawyer only played 16 mins so can't blame him for once,

its okay our defence is fine lets cnut off these two instead of sorting the defence and lack of plan b shall we, wtf.....

Plymouth Argyle boss Derek Adams says influential attackers Graham Carey and Ruben Lameiras must improve after their opening day loss at Walsall.

Walsall came from behind to win after Ryan Edwards had put Argyle ahead.

Adams was unhappy with how Carey - Argyle's top scorer for the past two seasons - and Lameiras performed.

"I thought Lameiras and Carey were very poor for us and didn't do anything in the game for us. That was disappointing," he told BBC Devon.

"They have to do a lot better than they did."

Adams also felt that his side should have been awarded a penalty.

Walsall equalised in first-half stoppage time through Andy Cook when he reacted first to score after his penalty had been saved by Argyle debutant Matt Macey.

"We created a good number of opportunities in the 90 minutes," Adams said.

"The penalty kick was the correct decision, but we feel we should have had two penalty kicks in the game - one on Freddie Ladapo and one on Ryan Edwards.

When you lose at least 4 or your best back 5 from the previous season, you can expect a few problems. Expect it will take til Xmas to sort it out again...........if lucky.

We did ok but didn't deserve to win.
