I thought we were pretty poor last night and nobody could take much credit,even Coppinger was awful..This is the problem with these loan players.Yes they are more technically gifted than our contracted players but a few games in and they cant handle mens football.. I also have to say that whilst i love DM His interview last night had me shouting at the radio...He watched a different game to me,didnt think it was a bad performance and we deserved something from the game.In fact it was almost like he was trying to convince himself..
Their centre half on loan from Fulham was outstanding. Fej battled hard but struggled against him, for the most part.

Fej was superb last night against an excellent opponent. That was a fascinating contest.And it would have been a different result if Fej had gone down when he was being pulled at for 30 yards when he got in behind the defence. That should have been a red card.

If we use your logic here then Copps, Madger and Fej can’t handle men’s football either.Smith was the only thing keeping our midfield in the game first half. Bursik made some great saves. Sims, although tired, looked a threat when he came on. Halliday, John and Copps looked awful last night. All players have bad games and that’s got to be accepted. What worries me most about last night is Halliday. I have no clue whether he played badly at RB as he was seldom in that position. As a lost sheep somewhere between wing back and defensive midfield he was shocking though.

I agree about the rigours of men’s football but some of our men are not doing either. Which showed last night. Im not sure we could have sign better men under our financial constraints As for Goals in league 1 our men forwards Copps averages 3/4 per seasonTaylor average 3/4 per seasonOkenibhere. best was 10 goals 2 years ago. So we do not have clinical finishes unless the young loanees can keep fit and step up,
DBR - interesting points about shooting. That’s one of the things I really like about Okenabirhie - he’s always looking to get that shot away. People say he should have had hat tricks in the last 2 games but realistically on several of his shots most of our other players would have delayed and lost the opportunity to shoot.

Will he get games though if John-Jules and Tulloch come back? I suspect he would be dropped like a stone.Yes, Fejiri has upped his game in that respect and is working room and getting shots off. If he can start to convert a few more he's setting a good lead for all to follow.

Just watched the the highlights and extended highlights, and while of course it can give a skewed view of the game, I feel maybe we are being too down on the team. The defending in the RB position was of course responsible for the two goals, but Taylor was at fault for the first (although it can be argued Halliday should have been running back quicker to support) but Halliday was at fault for the second. But we did make chances that on another night might have been goals - e.g. Taylor's shot deflected over, Wright's header (and he was surely impeded), and Fej's goal disallowed for offside - difficult to tell from our angle, but then the linesman on the far side was in no better a position so must have been guessing. And then indeed the incident when Fej was through. At what point does the referee play advantage and then not bring play back?We need a bit of luck IMHO.Some of Richards, Tulloch, John-Jules and Gomes must be back soon which will help.By the way, I have no idea but do the bubbling arrangments mean the players and the rest of the match day group can stay in hotels? Did they drive down on the day, and back afterwards?
Most people have see for months that John isn’t a full back. But he keeps playing him there.James instead of sims is daft The subsTitutions were ridiculous

Think the 0 players in the box corner was an interesting one. If it works it will look amazing but that delivery was awful. If Plymouth typically zonal mark a corner it would have been static defenders against moving attackers and no contest. Should have tried it a 2nd time and got the delivery right.
People having a go at Halliday should take into account that Danny Mayor, who played mostly down their left, is probably the best player we have come up against this season.
