Argyle v Sunderland

Here we go then, down to the nitty gritty.

Not overly confident. UTBA COYG ATID etc etc

Bob Stokoe, Micky Horswill, Brian Clough, Monkey head, Niall Quinn etc your boys will take a hell of a beating.....

Hardie could be back according to the paper today, which would be a help. Even though the away performances have been crap for the last few games, home record is still good and naive optimism prevails in the psyche.

2-0

Ennis, Grant

I will be wearing my lucky scarf today if that helps. Gonna be tense at the ground today.
COYG

I am hoping for my 100% win record this season when I attend, get into them.....Going to be another cagey one imo neither team will want to lose this 1 0, Jeppers.

On the way bloody rail replacement buses for part of it.

Bit nervous.

Just like us to stumble when it matters.

Same old bastard argyle and all that.

Could scrape a tight win by a goal.

Hope Schumacher was bluffing about Hardie and Edwards.

Usual pre match routine …just having my pre match full English breakie & doing my football bets got a good feeling about today it ain’t gunna be as hard as we think…Argyle 2-0

One thing that will be new to me is using the e ticket with the QR code, I've screenshot it and saved it to gallery, do you just show it in any ticket window?

Love it Reg, I've struggled with this 'glass half empty' neck brace for decades

Decent half of football, bit tense though. We've just had the better of it, final ball just lacking a couple of times.

Seems a bit quiet on the Tv, hoping i have the volume turned down.

Cameras pick of the bunch from our lot put in a good shift in the first half

First half was clearly our 'good' half.  Terrible since the break.  We are not going to score and I can see another late show from Sunderland to nick it.

Camara injured and out for the rest of the season and very probably now played his last match for Argo. Miserable end to the season.

Coughing and spluttering towards the finish in typical bastard Argyle style.

Can’t score, looking very shaky for the playoffs, really need a win on Saturday, tough ask

Lethargic, clueless performance from both teams, pub football. Playoffs look unlikely and that will be a big disappointment considering where we were, although not expected at the start of the season. We've just lost our way, the players look tired, unable to press forward in numbers like we were a while back, not sure if it's a change of style/tactics implemented by Shoe E and his coaching staff but it's no fun to watch, mayor making himself dizzy literally running around in circles with the ball, hardie clearly not match fit, Houghton a very poor version of a water carrier, can't really find any plusses from today apart from somehow avoiding defeat.

Think we should have won it on balance, our final Ball was often poor.
Agree both teams lacking quality finishing.
Squeaky bum time next couple of games.

Still in the hunt and it's not over 'til the fat lady sings.

I thought we edged it as others said final ball was lacking missing Edwards like a hole in the defence. Ref was awful Camara had his ankles battered for 60 minutes until they were literally kicked to pieces when he had to go off, didn't look too bad an injury to me. At the end of day we are still in it although we will need points before the seasons end. Tbf Sunderland are no better than us and fully fit we would have beat them.

Or you could say the team that plays shyte but doesn't lose is on the road to success.


If MK lose tomorrow and Wigan win, they are up, so might not try too much on Saturday. And if MK can't get automatic promotion in the final game, they might ease off as well.

And if your aunty had bollocks etc etc. Long and short of it is the last 3 games we've been very poor and the playoffs are slipping out of our grasp unless all the planets align. I do admire your optimism though.

If we'd lost today it would have been game over but we didn't, odds are against us but it's still doable I still think we will get a win against MK and several teams below us have to play each other, it is still doable.

Didn't think it was that bad a game or performance. Tension ridden certainly and a bit of the proverbial game of two halves but not terrible. Thought Argyle had the closest efforts, can't remember too many times that either keeper was called into action though and Argyle's goals have dried up at exactly the wrong time which is a bit of a bugger. Probably a better point for Sunderland than Argyle and a win is desperately needed from somewhere, starting to look a bit shaky. We can but hope.
