mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Ihikwe hopefully back to fit into the defence, but I worry that these players will have the legs this Saturday. At least its a week between games after that Just got to get a win Saturday and now trusting Peterborough putting in a good performance v Ipswich before the big un Barnsley v Ipswich I think Plymouth have it sewn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Terrible time to concede and the ref was an absolute twot - foul stats will look stupid - but we dug in and toughed it out. Unfortunately, once the players had celebrated with us fans, they'll have gone in and been the other scores. Sod it, we go again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 20 minutes ago, KrolMong said: Massive win. First half, very good. Second half. Awful. But we did defend very well and despite pressure, they created little. I thought we were at it first half. Good chances missed by Smith and Adeniran, great finish from Bannan and a scrappy one from Famewo. We pressed well, looked a threat and didn’t let them settle. Half time team talk is simple, hold out for 10 minutes, quieten the crowd and get a foothold. Instead, big straight ball, Iorfa ball watching and they get one back. Then we lose Famewo and have to change shape and it all fell apart. We didn’t make any correct decisions. Passing the ball back instead of forward, create an overload and then knock a 2 yard pass 10 yards short. Then the legs went. Tired fouls and clearances, half a second late on a close down, unable to get support to people. Luckily enough, Flint was at it today, as was Palmer. We take it another week, but we have players dropping like flies and others who look close. I’m desperately hoping for some luck with injuries. Wilkes, Windass, James - anyone to help out. I'm feeling similar to this. We should hopefully have Windass back this weekend, and Ihiekwe. So, if Famewo misses out through injury we at least have a square peg to put in a square hole.

They battled and worked hard no question but technically it was like they had a grenade at the feet. We were just smashing it anywhere. Some really poor performers tonight. Smith? Geez. Bakinson. Iorfa. And while I'm not a fan of Dawson he was so much off balance for the goal it was ridiculous. I wouldn't mind him dominating his box once in s while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 DM post game comments from Yorkshire Live. It was tough here and if you look at top six only one has won here. We got over the line tonight.We took our chances. Baz gave us the platform and apart from small lapse in concentration we did our job. I don't think many teams will come here and limit them as we did. Credit to them as they threw stuff at us but we dealt with it. Tonight was the right response and we'll move onto Saturday. On Famewo: We hope it is tightness and fatigue. We'll assess the next few days and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Battled out a valuable 3 points but the Plymouth late win makes this feel like a defeat in some ways. We do look pretty empty in the leg department and fear there will be nothing left should we be in the Play Offs. 3 more points Saturday will hopefully inject some life and then we pray 🙏. Finally how can a team amass such a decent points total with Iorfa, Bakinson and Adenarin in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit Adeniran with four stonking headed clearances in short order late on. Smith was running on empty well before the end. Johnson was at times below his usual standards. Gregory looked well peed off with his substitution. Vaulks produced the squeaky bum moment of the night with his spin turn and rifling a swerving backpass right on goal but thankfully straight at Dawson too! (That was just me with the squeeky bum: it's not recorded what Cam thought of it!) I really hope Akin Famewo is fit for Saturday. A top performance and a goal tonight: his first?

owl71 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I’d more or less given up on automatic after Saturday, but now I think it’s back in the balance, though we’re not favourites. Ipswich’s next two are tough looking away games. On top of that, the extra midweek game that Ipswich and Plymouth have next week could have an impact on both their performances the following Saturday. I have a feeling we go into the Derby game needing to win, and one other result to go our way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 We need 3 wins. That's got to be the mentality, I'm sure that it is. But the worry is that last Friday the same thought process of needing to win every game should have been there. I agree with others, and tonight is a perfect example, Ipswich and Plymouth both winning from a goal down. Again, 3 wins, that's it and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I can't see Plymouth messing up, they need 3 wins and they are guaranteed promotion. And those 3 at home next all look favourable. The only hope is that the pressure of expectation from the home fans impacts them. But more likely it will pull em over the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 That bad run will cost us, it’s looking that way. But if we finish the season brightly and on 90 plus points then I think the team and manager need some credit for that as you’d snatch at that before the season started and 99/100 times it gets you promoted.

I sincerely wish Joey all the best going forward, that goes for his team and his football club too.
