Plymouth match thread

He can't face up to the fact is tactics are not good enough.

I mean i think we had two decent efforts on target all game and they were near end.

An absolute disgrace, i was so angry in parts today i just shouted out so loud.

To say i'm pissed off is an understatement, why on earth can we not play with passion.
Surely they can use the things Warnock taught them, instead of Robson's clueless ideas.

Cesc Montgomery was shocking today but apart from Bennett all of them were to be honest. Why he brought Carney off is baffling, i thought carney was the only one running at players.

Also losing at home you have do everything to get back in it, so why he has left Stead to warm up with a few minutes to go. i mean he is fresh legs get him on.

Carney was a mile onside for the "offside goal", Tonges corners seemed to do something attackingwise compared to keeefs, whose go straight to the keeper, and we can't do the long throw anymore gets cleared straight away.

Carney was a mile onside for the "offside goal",

Agreed, from my position on the Kop I could see their CB had played him on.

However, that goal would have been irrelavent had Argyle taken the chances presented to them. They could have won 4-0 easily.

Bennett MOTM by a country mile.

Anyways, what is continually frustrating me is...... forever passing the ball back to the keeper. We can be near their corner flag and we still find a way to get it all the way back. It wouldn't be so bad if we were "starting" the build up for another attack, situation is....... one of the back (bar cahill) gets the ball, an opposition player comes with in 20 yards and we pass it back, Bennett boots the ball in to their half, for none of our players to win the ball.

The only "passing" football I see from our team is defensive passing. We seem incapable of offensive passing.

'Must also give note to Plymouth keeper, Larrieu?

He did everything required of him yesterday, very good between the sticks, good catching, never dropped anything, his only problem was his goal kicks, which were a bit wayward.

Everything I can think of has been covered by now, but what worries me is that the first Cahill hasn't been playing very well, we've looked very poor.

Both centre backs made a few mistakes, but on most occasions the other centre back recovered - a showing of a half decent partnership there. And like Robbie said, Bennet made some great saves after the defense slipped up. Definatley MOTM.

|It would be hard to pick a man of the match I'd say.

Webber or Bennett. Probably Bennett as he kept us in it at times. Carney was good before he went off.

Call me wrongly optomistic but I honestly believe our passing is attacking and creative but 4 some reason we just arent scoring ... Webber & Beattie linked up OK but 2 many times Beatties flicks we going 2 nobody ... Cahill & Killa r getting more and more reliable whilst Bennett did what was asked of him ... BUT as all Blades do - I need a moan (so here goes!) Monty was dreadful it was like watching Bambi tbh ... Keef didnt do anything (again) and Carney drifted 2 far inside meaning Stretch couldnt do anything ... And Mr Robson - All that hard work to keep clean sheets away from home - Go unbeaten for six games - Pick up our first wins on the road - And we r back 2 losing at home ... Now im going 2 make the short trip 2 Charlton on Tuesday but if our players 'play' with the same amount of passion as I saw on Saturday - I will be going home an immensley annoyed Blade!

I thought webber was poor!

Didnt read any of beattie's flick ons till the second half, seemed to loose the ball alot and we know he is a fancy player but he needs to realise when keeping it simple is effective and not try stupid turns

 

[Jack & Helga]

I know the service was pretty poor, but Beattie didn't look interested Saturday. An offer from Middlesbrough could just be enough to see him on his way, although there's a lot of football to be played before January.
Could Robson be considering cashing in, especially with Hulse so close to fitness now?

Beattie won every header in the first half, no on egot onto any of them. Think he'd lost heart in the second half cos of it.

He covered everywhere in my opinion. It was so frustrating seeing him out wide on the right, with Keef coming inside all the time. What was that all about?

Agreed he often takes on one too many people, but on the other hand, if people moved for him a bit more, he might not have to.
