Just took on more and more pressure after those changes.
Good young manager, but by no means perfect and needs to learn how to manage out a game sharpish or we're going nowhere. |  |

I would have said the long Plymouth injury break was more damaging. We were pushing, on the front foot. Then all the momentum went.
Edit: Plus some of the changes were forced. [Post edited 14 Jan 2023 17:04]

Agree.
Ladapo should never have been withdrawn. |  | | |

Yep hirst's touch awful. Looked similar player to ladapo without the ability to hold the ball up. | | | |

Think that's harsh as clearly not fully fit. Jackson would have at least offered an outlet with his pace. | |

If he’s not fit he shouldn’t replace Ladapo [Post edited 14 Jan 2023 17:15]

I agree but do you think he subbed himself on? | |

I rate McKenna, but there's always an excuse isn't there.
Oh well, just another one off.... | |

Just looking at the comments about Ladapo vs Hirst. Is this irony or are you genuinely off your tits? I can't think of a more striking contrast in players. | | | |

FWIW I think the substitution McKenna got wrong was KVY for Burns. Edwards for Burns for me was the better option. |  |

He did more in 30 minutes than Ladapo did in 67? He won more headers and got himself into better positions, chased back, he jumped for a header which is something Ladapo NEVER does |  |

Lol. What!
We completely lost control of the game when ladapo came off.
I'd like to see hirst AND ladapo together so we don't lose what Freddie is good at. |  |

What game did you watch, Ladapo couldn’t control his bladder if he tried! He has the first touch of a trampoline, can’t hit a decent shot if he tried, doesn’t look up, if he had done Burns would have had a tap in in the first half, he plays blind passes where he really shouldn’t do.
He won 2 headers all game, both he had no knowledge of and they came off the back of his head. You should try going to a game once in a while, you might see the whole picture of just how bad he is | |

Lol. Many people disagree with you Ely. So again pointless throwing in the I follow rubbish.
Another game where we took him off and we looked worse for it. | |

Sorry disagree, Hirst looked way off the pace for me, highlighted when their right back left him for dead and he ended up booked for dragging him back by the shirt! Tried a few little flicks and headers, none of which came to anything!
Not saying Lapado was great…or that Hirst won’t be good signing, but I don’t think that substitution worked out today. [Post edited 14 Jan 2023 23:47]

I think Humphrey’s up front as a lone striker would be better than Ladapo, Harness won more headers than Ladapo did today, to say we lost control when he went or is ludicrous he never had control of anything, all balls bounce off him like a trampoline, he can’t/won’t jump for headers and misjudges so much, on top of that he has no pace | |

Humphreys up top?
Harness won more headers?
You sure your view wasn't restricted?
I think freddie is important to our play. I quite a few games it's not turned out great when he's been subbed
Plymouth away 1-2 subbed
Plymouth home. Subbed
Fleetwood home subbed
Portsmouth away subbed
Bolton home subbed
Of course it could just be pure coincidence that we let goals in after he's been subbed in these games and there are some we've scored when he's gone off. But I personally think we have looked better with him on the field than off it and would like to see him next to Hirst. [Post edited 15 Jan 2023 0:05]

Pathetic. At 1-0 they were firmly on the ropes. But we never made any changes to make it 2-0.
Bottom line is, other than Derby at home we haven't done anything in this league this season. Which is why we're 5 & 7 adrift. | |

We haven’t done anything in the league this season?
Are you off your tits?
I know we’re all gutted about being third but this is a little crazy no? | | | |

OK maybe a little silly. And should have rephrased it as "we haven't done anything vs the top 8".

Pompey away he couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo, IIRC When he was subbed off we were losing 2-1 so your argument falls apart on that one…….. maybe do your homework on the games first | |

He never seems to play Edwards down the right unless he switches him in the game
You'd expect Edwards to offer something down there
I do think Plymouth are the first side really to stop us down both wings, that's not really happened in any other game this season |  |

There is something in what you're saying. Personally, I think it is gonna work out far better to start with Hirst and Broadhead, and bring Freddie on for the last 30 minutes or whatever it is, if we have a 1 goal lead. Freddie is good at staying on his feet and keeping the ball alive in the final third, bringing in other players. His shooting isn't great, seems to scuff the ball far too often, but when closing out a game, we just need to keep the ball at the other end of the pitch. |  |
