Totally different starting a game in comparison to coming on as sub when the opposition are tiring and the spaces open up.It was exactly the same last week when Luke and Tyler came on-Youngy started today but you couldn't say he set the game alight.It was a great piece of skill from Thomas though,the type of thing that Buster Phillips used to do from time to time.

Trust you to pick up one bit of my post and take it out of context.

Of course today was crap, of course there are underlying problems with the ownership and of course we won't go up as I said.

But we undeniably are better than the last two years and those are more solid foundations to build upon than previously.

Our ability to improve the weak spots however, and actually build on the foundations rather than merely pass over the opportunity to do so however is dependant on the budget which the grapevine suggests may be notably lowered.

we are not undeniably better than two years ago, we have a better goal keeper and a better manager apart from the young leftback the rest are no better than the previous donkeys, there are imo no


foundation's being laid.the club under brent is going nowhere.

Have to agree with ss68.

I fink the club is a clueless embarrassment.

Nope says the ref...........

I felt it was, by the letter of the law, a penalty. Allesandra was fouled inside the penalty area.

They pushed each other - nobody hit any one. I'm impressed you saw the incident on the radio though.

Agree. We didn't give up. That's good to see.

Agree with that too - he's direct and runs at defenders and his pace is a massive asset. No league 2 defender will cope with that if he can do it for 90 minutes.

Thanks for the amazing contributions to the thread Tring!

I think that Tring is right after nearly three years Brent has managed to take Argyle from being relegation certainties to mid table mediocrity with crowds and there fore income that will knock most other clubs into league 1 in a season, it does need to be mentioned.

Best part of the match was I could listen to Guy Branston as Co-Comm. honest, passionate, from the heart views and putting Sparsky in his place. it shows you need an insight from a Pro not a   adulterer wa@nk*r with no knowledge of the game.

Here to help, my dear old thing.

Their keeper must have watch videos of Luke free kicks, he cover his left-hand post on all his free-kicks.

Sunday morning thoughts on the match and I'm a little more sanguine than immediately after the freeze-fest I witnessed yesterday.

I use the word "freeze", because the team seemed to do that whenever there was a chance of a decent attack - and so did those who were there to endure it.

In simple terms, we should be reasonably cheerful at our current position. We're comfortably in mid-table, we're hard to beat and for the first time in half a decade, we're not in danger of relegation.

As the season started, that's all I hoped for - to not be continuously in the bottom four.

Job done, then.

We are a work in progress - some of the bits of a proper team are there, some demonstrably are not.

A year on from the beginning of the Sheridan era, I'm about 60% convinced that he'll be able to take us higher up this league, based on his likely operating budget and performance so far - no more than that.

Is that enough? Probably, just about.

But more performances like those seen at Home Park recently are really going to test the enthusiasm of our support. We've got to do better at home.

The McCormick/Trotman incident was bizarre. McCormick called for it, Trotman went for it too. McCormick spilled the ball, a Mansfield player went for it and, I think, we ended up with a goal kick. McCormick and Trotman then exchanged angry words, one gave the other a vigorous push in the chest, the other responded in kind. The ref called Hourihane, as captain, over and Hourihane had to run about half the length of the pitch to get there. I feared the worst at this point and thought the ref was going to send them both off (which would have been harsh but he would have been quite within his rights to do so) but the yellow card came out which was a relief. It's hard to see how we would have got anything out of the game playing 9 v 11.

The trainer came on to treat McCormick. It was obvious he had hurt his finger in some way during the bad-tempered little episode. As he went off words were exchanged with the Mansfield bench which seemed odd since this problem was almost entirely made in Plymouth.

Other than that it was very cold, very windy and bloody awful to watch. Our only highlights were our goal and the Mansfield defender falling over immediately before it.

Mansfield will be gutted not to have won the game and we would definitely have lost this game in any of the last 5 or 6 seasons instead of which we got a point. So that's good. Not good enough but good nonetheless.

We desperately need somebody to play alongside Reid like Lavery did. Maybe move Banton there because it isn't working for him on the wing at present.

I dont buy the,we wont go down nonsense, this team could easily go down! torquay who are second bottom look like improving, there are worrying times ahead i fear, sheridan's got a bit to do yet before our third worst ever league position( all under brent) is secure.

hence the word ALMOST and pushing each other cant count as that, just because you didnt cause it with your ps4 pad doesnt mean there has to be a KO for it to be classed as an almost scrap.

No wonder you didn't see all of this coming. Enjoy the ride.

I thought it was the Mansfield player going for the ball when Luke spilled it that caused the injury to his finger. It looked like his finger was possibly dislocated.

As for the rest of the game? Until Thomas' piece of skill it didn't look like we would score if they were still out there at midnight. Another hugely disappointing game!

Great bit of wing play by Thomas - I'm sure he'll get an opportunity to start in the near future
