And a 3-5-2 formation

No loan striker for a change

Is this our strongest side?

Other than the center backs probably... But this isn't a League One team, what were seeing is their limitations. We have our 3rd/4th choice center back from last season as our current first choice, and a lad who has only played some games in Ireland partnering him, then up front we have a guy who's mostly been a backup winger for the last few season at other clubs and then a 40 year old... After that, goalkeeper excluded, it's last season's team. We've brought in 10 players and got worse. Sacking McCann won't immediately bring improvements to this team because these are poor players, and will remain that under any manager, but he did say he wants to take responsibility for the recruitment... So he can be blamed for the lack of quality brought in in the summer. We can try and strengthen in January but do we believe that we will actually strengthen or just bring in some more faces?

7 goals conceded in 1.5 matches. Second from bottom. Grant needs to take a good look at himself

You are 100% right Jersey Rover the back line is very poor.
Where is the big lad from Blackburn? not even on the bench!

Plymouth have looked very impressive.

For the first 20 minutes,Plymouth looked as bad as anything I've seen in the past 5 years. They started woefully.

Agreed.
We were looking comfortable until Broadbents bad touch gifted them the equaliser and it seemed to make the jitters run through the whole team.
I don’t think our fans helped either, jeering TLT and getting on the backs of a few players.
We were poor for long spells of the game though.

I saw the bbc interpretation of the line up too.
Don’t believe all you read.
No way would we have lined up 3-5-2.

For me Mcgrath giving the ball to Broadbent who was under pressure was the problem

Says Clifton has ran around as usual looking busy and energetic but actually produced no decent output

The ball wasn’t great but passing to players that are under pressure can still happen. Broadbent should have done better in a tricky situation.

I said it at the time Filo and I have just watched the skylights clip which confirms it. (As you said).
With a solid first touch he plays the ball to Sterry who was in a safe area.

Why not just pass the ball to Sterry in the first place?

In the Premier League we see this type of pass to a backward facing player and it can sometimes generate an attack against a pressing opponent…. But we are in League One and shouldn’t be attempting this type of pass as it’s far too risky and even when it works, it rarely provides the desired outcome.

It was a bad pass with his right foot from McGrath that put Broadbent under pressure no need for that pass at all.

That’s I thought, and those around me were of the same mind

Just my opinion Steve.
Broadbent is more than capable of receiving that ball and moving it on sharply.
He has done it all season long.
Without the bad touch he wouldn’t have been under pressure.
His reaction when they score tells us that he felt he was at fault.
