HoylandOwl Posted February 2, 2023 Author Posted February 2, 2023 Plymouth's Ryan Hardie looks forward to the game. Amongst his comments: “This one is a massive game for us. You just look at the numbers of travelling fans. It's going to be a good one. It's brilliant. That's back-to-back away games we'll have been in front of 30,000. It’s one that we certainly look forward to and as we’ve shown we’ll take the game to anybody. Their manager Steven Schumacher's opinion. Amongst his comments: “They are in brilliant form, they are a good team who are so strong at home. They haven't lost in so many games so we’re under no illusions that it is going to be a hard game. “But it is a game that we are looking forward to. We've got to go there with an attitude to think: ‘let’s go and be us’, to try to be positive and take the game to them. If we do that then we know that, at our best, we are a match for anyone.” Quote

HoylandOwl Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 DM: "In terms of injuries, there is nothing new. "Reece James is the only real concern and we hope to have him back in the next couple of weeks." "There's no better place than Hillsborough when it's full and when the crowd is in full voice. "Let's make it nice and loud and proud tomorrow." “It's about playing the game and not the occasion. "As a professional group, we just see this as the next game. "We'll have to be at our level best as we do for every game we play." "We've had such a wonderful and proud home record. "When we're in S6 there has to be a certain DNA in us in terms of what we expect to see each game. "I want the players to be passionate and proud when they pull the shirt on and know that playing for SWFC means so much." Quote
HoylandOwl Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 More from DM: “Every week we're being challenged to be the best version of ourselves and thus far the players have shown consistency and discipline." "It was only a minor surgery that was needed for the team in January because we did our work in the summer. "I have full trust and belief in the players we have, there's a lot of camaraderie and versatility and we need to continue the consistency we've shown." "There's a versatility in the midfield department. "It's important that there's competition in there and we're delighted to have Barry and George back." Quote
Paul from Wisewood Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 When was the time we last played in a top 2 clash, must be Oldham in 90? Quote

EastCraigsOwl Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Mr Busby is in the wrong job. He should really be a linesman. 1 Quote

Aye they could’ve been, good shout guess as it was only the fifth game and we were never going to maintain it, wouldn’t have had the same feel to it as this one or oldham Quote
HoylandOwl Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 Proper looking forward to today. Not only because of the game, but I love it when the stadium is packed and there’s the buzz of anticipation. If we start quick, the atmosphere will be electric. But thinking back to the Portsmouth game at the end of last season, I hope if the opposition score too. We still supported and didn’t get the face on and romped it. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 Love this. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2023/february/full-voice-full-force/ Quote

owl4ever1867 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Surprised Paterson is playing RWB instead of Hunt.... COME ON WEDNESDAY!! Quote
Andyben Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Surely he's gonna play the Worksop Philip Lahm at RB Quote
KrolMong Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I think it’s a 4-4-2. Pato up top with Smith. Bannan and Windass left and right. Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 That should be 2-0 there, great chance for Flint I think it was Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Cooper coming off for Plymouth, that's a big loss for them. Can only think he's concussed? Cambridge beating Ipswich 1-0, missing a penalty as well have the U's Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Decent half of football that was. We look more like getting a 2nd than they do getting an equaliser. Bar the set piece, I don't think Dawson has had anything to do. So far, the selection of Paterson at RWB is paying off given him and Smith have won everything that side in the air. Quote
Andyben Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Decent half that. The two subs helping to unsettle them, but we've been solid Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Throw yourself down and you'll get a free kick it seems Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Oh Marv!!! How much time did you have there 🙂 Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Change that post Given offside, must be Gregory Edited February 4, 2023 by Kiwi Owl Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Ten minutes!!! Subs, Bannan and Mumba down? That 10 in total? Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Full time Those two sides out there today will be playing championship football next season. Best teams in this division Thank you to the officials for ruining that second half! Quote
bricat Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 When you win with officials like that you should get bonus points. 5 Quote
Beaconowl Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Time to start believing. Massive WIN 1 Quote
KrolMong Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Was a very good display. We were excellent first half. High energy, pressure and pressing, aggressive. We really did dominate for the first 45. Second half, mainly when Cosgrove came on, we just struggled to get hold of the ball. That said, we are the team that missed the better chances and did regain a foothold when we changed the front two. Some very good displays. Pato and Windass first half. But, Vaulks, Flint, Iorfa and Palmer were excellent. I thought Wilkes was bright when he came on too. Just a good team performance. The officials thought. The worst officiating I have seen at any level this season. 21 minutes injury time, 3 shirt pulls on Wilkes by the same player, all give as free kicks and no cards… yet, we get two booked for the same thing. Two absolute cast iron penalties for fouls on Aden Flint and the linesman disallowing a goal after seeing the replay on the screen. Which he did to cover up that he should have disallowed it real time because Gregory is offside stood in front of the keeper when Byers shoots. It was a disgusting display. But, a good win. Top of the league. 1 Quote
Andyben Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I didnt think Gregory was in their keepers line of sight, unless it was Marty Feldman in the net 5 Quote
