Cock v Wood

Stiff opposition today, a nervy 2-1 win.

3-1 hat trick

Finn,Wright,Wilson

Very tough one.  They are clearly an in-form side with their last 3 games being wins against Charlton, Posh and Sheff Wed (FA Cup replay).  Can see a repeat of the Port Vale horror show if we're not careful. I'll go for a very tense 2-2 but in reality expecting far worse.

Freathy on the Prozac foreshore never heard such unbridled optimism from the doom meister. All games in this league are tough but I am with Less, very tight unit to break down and they usually score one even if they lose but I think we will have enough in the tank to beat them Argyle 2 (or 3) Codpieces 1 Hardie and Matete.

Very tricky this captain pugwash firm these are the sides that can throw a spanner in the works if you treat em to lightly and grey dreary drizzly Saturday a greasy surface and goalkeeping or defensive calamity so we can’t take em to lightly they gave sheff wed two good games there quite compact hard to break down & don’t concede to many either …How ever us being at home as well I expect us to have enough in the tank to see em off but this won’t be no easy game …us 2-0 ( Hardie & Azaz)

Three nil routine win.

Wendies losing to KD.

M.

Looking like OO at the mo.

Making hard work of this…to add other results not going our way either

Boooooo Shooey out. Very frustrating but credit to the Cods, came hee for a point and got it. Tbf sounds like they had better chances than us. Should have taken it in turns to run in the box reckon a pen was the only way we were winning that.

I know it's not a loss, but it feels like a bad day at the office. Cant say I'm a big fan of the squad rotation thingy.

We were poor(again) toothless up front, don't think their keeper had one save to make but some credit must go to fleetwood who defended well and had a couple decent chances to score themselves against a very average argyle. Must do better

14 matches to go, win half of them and we will be up.



A home draw is not a disaster given our position. 14 games to play and we are 6 or 8 points clear of the play offs. We have enough points in the bag that getting a few draws rather than wins means we will still finish in the top two.

What's that got to do with todays performance? And even if we do it's no guarantee of automatic promotion

Zackly and 89 points could well put us in the playoffs, this season will be a massive scoring one. What's more every single team in the league will be watching the vid of how to spoil Argyle. It's winning games like these that make champions.

not a good game at all today. Should have won it but we screwed up in front of goal in ability to pass and dodgy defending at times which if we played a team more gunho they would have punished us. Fleetwood came for the draw and got we couldn't break them down or take our chances. C. Wright i was not impressed with at all and he should have come off. All tricks and skill yet no application to show for it and cant shoot at goal at all i would say hes another Mayor but Mayor actually passes the ball to a teammate sometimes. Hardie squandered another gifted opportunity but again he makes hard work of it. This game need Cosgrove starting and a fresh approach as it was clear fleetwood did their homework and got their rewards for it. Suprised Earley wasnt even on the bench today tbh and why butcher was dropped but i guess schuey had a plan just didnt work today.

we move on

back level on points with wednesday who have their game in hand

Disappointing day and a disjointed performance, Argyle wouldn't have scored if the game was still playing. Lots of inaccurate passing and bad decision making at key moments, thought the pattern was set early on when Hardie shot weakly when Finn was in a far better position to score. Fleetwood were as well organised a team as has been at HP this season-tight marking and pressing, cutting down angles and making crucial blocks, you could see how they've got some of their recent results. They had a couple of very decent chances too, so all in all today could have been much worse and a hard fought point is not a total disaster but a bit of a setback nonetheless. Onwards and upwards.

Went today.  Fleetwood were well organised with a dogged defence and looked quite dangerous at times going forward while Argo, although having loads of possession, were left floundering unable to do the simple things and were shockingly wasteful in front of goal.  Schuey seemed to be panicking with all the second half substitutions.  Crowd were great today and did their best to try and lift the team but the players weren't listening.  We really needed to win today. Ipswich fans will now be very confident of catching us up and overtaking us.  Looking like it will be the play-offs for Argo this season.

Just looked for highlights, apparently there weren't any.

there were none worth watching certainly not again for those who went,

just read errington's praise of Wilson in his report of yesterdays game,.... almost like he wasnt there cause there was a few incidents his lack of awareness ans pace left gilesphrey having to backtrack and cover his area cause he wasnt making the effort to get back.

Shuey needs to play his best 11 from the start. We aren’t Man City.

It came off against Pompey, when 8 changes were made. But it won’t come off all the time. It was generally a crap performance yesterday, but having your strongest 11 from the start gives you a better chance of nicking one when things aren’t going to plan.

if games are coming thick and fast i see the point of rotation to keep players fresher for longer but as you say we arent man city we arent playing 2 games every week so we dont need to be doing 4-8 changes a game.

I think that another reality is that the five signings in January are in no way the same calibre of player as Whitikker was, Matete the best of the bunch but I wouldn't be surprised if two or three are binned pretty quickly especially if we get promoted. I know Saxon had a scoring debut but I don't think he has the pace for this league and especially the CCC.

What would be the strongest 11? Darned if i could nail down a team that would start every week.
