I went to the Abbey Stadium yesterday to take a closer look at our promotion rivals Argyle. Thoughts as follows.
Cambridge looked the stronger team, they played some decent stuff, and they missed 2 very good chances in the second half. Bonner was too cautious and only made attacking subs with about 10 mins left.
Cosgrove upfront for Argyle is a big lump and a niggly fouling sh1thouse. But he did hit the bar from a corner.
Argyle looked pacey and dangerous on the counter attack especially down the flanks. Hardie was quite forgettable though. Wilson still looks solid at centre half. Their keeper Cooper is decent and he made two good saves.
Standout players for Cambridge were Smith up front and Rossi, Jones at centre back. Digby is still a dreadful footballer. Lankester is inconsistent, but more bad than good.
The Abbey is a great little stadium and that terrace behind the goal generates a lot of noise. Lovely atmospheric walk through a frosty Coldham Common to get there.
Ref was pretty bad. So its a 3rd division thing, not just an Ipswich thing. He did helpfully give 5 yellow cards to Argyle though. |  |
