Plymouth were very good I thought 21:46 - Sep 25 with 2112 viewsDubtractor

Amongst the understandable annoyance at us losing, I think it is worth noting that Plymouth were, by a margin, the best team we've played this season.

They stifled our passing game pretty well, making us go long a lot more, pressed excellently for the full match, and looked creative in the final third.

They will be there or thereabouts come May.

Their fitness held up well towards the end, they caught us on the break a few times where we looked tired, which surprised me

They're pretty athletic and a bit more rugged than us, which has always been our kryptonite

I've no doubt later in the season, we will work them over at FPR mind you

They were very strong, definitely the best team we've played so far.

I thought their goalkeeper was outstanding - it's the first time I've seen him play.

“I thought their goalkeeper was outstanding”

Wouldn’t take him…Walton is far better at headers.

You've probably seen the best two keepers in the division today

Some wasteful finishing from Ladapo, Jackson and even Harness probably made things easier than they should have been

Not sure. Our failings gave them the win, rather than them having to work for it.

I think that's a bit harsh on Plymouth, they have worked their socks off for that win

The second in particular comes from sloppy play but they improved their pressing in the second half and made things more difficult for us

I still think on another day with better composure, we'd have taken a 2 - 0 lead and should have seen it out

Don't agree with that, they gave us a lot of problems all game.

Also, them now being top, having beaten a number of other top teams, suggests they have something about them.

Well, the two goals yes, from individual errors. Apart from that it was pretty evens, two good teams at this level, just one of them with the shooting peckers up.

I thought it was a cracking game between two really good sides.

I think they got their first goal against the run of play (and I'm sure it's been discussed to death on here but the barge on Chaplin almost always gets given by referees so can feel hard done by there) and the second was an absolute screamer - either of those go our way and we may well have got at least a point out of it.

I certainly didn't come away from yesterday worried about us.

Interesting that both of their goals came from outside the 18 yard line, whereas we very rarely ever hit it from distance. There was one chance near the end when it opened up for Jackson as he cut in from the left but he chose not to shoot and the chance was gone.

The number of goals town concede from distance seems quite high - seem to recall both Crewe and Shrewsbury denying us 2 points with long range goals at the back end of last season. Maybe we don’t think other teams will score from there so are slow to close down?

What I did notice was how Wolfy and George both struggled with quick changes in direction. A few times especially first half. Just a quick phase of play by them nearly got them goals as both our cbs were turned over.

Good side, better than I'd expected. I still think we were a shade better than them for around two thirds of the game; it has to go down as one that we've thrown away. Overall our performance levels are really, really consistent but it is obviously a concern that, like last season, we are squandering great positions.

Also thought they were best team we have played by far this season , also a lot of their fans thought the same about us yesterday , all in all not a disaster and we go again Saturday , remember KM has been in charge less than a year and transformed us totally, he will get this hiccup sorted …… Rome wasn’t built in a day !

Always difficult to make judgement based on one game where most of it went well.

I do feel perhaps a few of the more suspect players are getting tired. The two obvious replacements are Ball for Evans for at least part of the match to shore things up and Keogh for Edmundsen who appears to be struggling at the moment.

There is no point recruiting top players and then not using them. This gives the others a breather.

It is a long old season and the likes of Camara and Adahme will definitely need to play their part.
