Argyle v Oxford

Heart says win head says draw, a tricky opponent. Into em bheys

Should be a good encounter both teams going well at the moment, Think we will get some points from the game, as confidence should be high after the Derby comeback.

I think they will be very wary of us and they have a few squad issues, think they will.park the bus and hope to maybe nick a goal with a set piece. We will beat them two nil, Sigh to pas on his congratulations via a telegram from the states.

Looking forward to this one, always interesting games against OUFC. Going for a home victory though and three more points.

Very slippery tricky opponents we never seem to do well against this firm for some reason ..but I think we nick nick this one though it could go either way but being at home tips it over the edge for me 2-1 or 3-1 us

lol

Could say that about Oxford. Used to go up there for supper when I was at College in High Wycombe got some of the best boozers in the country down their little lanes, had a posh but very dirty GF there at one time, happy daze.

Going to be very tough tonight against yet another promotion side. Usual home fayre with plenty of scares and riding our luck most of the time but a very hard fought 1-1.

you feeling alright freathy bhey

Good win.

Schuey seems to know how to deploy his subs to good effect.

Er, did this game take place tonight?  Do believe i'm fated not to go to HP anymore-fecking car started smoking behind the drivers side back wheel and a smell similar to when the clutch burns out-anyone know what that may be, brake cylinder perhaps? 3 games missed now when i've had a ticket, a real piss off. Anyway, good win tonight, should have been more by all accounts but a welcome 3 points-all the others won as per usual though.

God knows how many we’d have scored if it weren’t for some woeful finishing. Should have been way more than one. Then rode our luck when their lad missed a proper sitter.

Big screen really adds something with all the chances being replayed via ArgyleTV.

Needed the three points badly and deserved them with the sheer number of chances carved out.

Was very odd seeing Mayor sprint to the changing rooms after being subbed. As if his missus waters had just broke or summat!

Deserved win, should have been more comfortable than it actually was, although they didn't look dangerous apart from the one sitter they missed when it looked easier to score.

Good performances all over tonight, Scarr and Lonwijk at the back were immense, Randell and Butcher were solid in the middle, Mayor was outstanding in the first half. Mumba's pace had them worried.

Schuey's subs worked again.

Average game quality, Oxford very average on the night, Argo finishing indeed woeful. Much better after subs, and Hardie and Mayor went off.
Need a much bigger roof on the Mayflower, sat in row F and no protection at all.

Very good result but some terrible 'finishing' by Argo.

First game for another season of not "supporting" Argyle for me, should have been three or four, solid at the back couldn't see the big screen from the back of block fifteen. Onwards and upwards.

Sounds like the brake shoe or pad binding? Only time I've had it was when I fitted new rear shoes and had them just ever so slightly touching the metal surface which then heats up and locks the whole thing up. Shoes and disks have the same compound on them hence the clutch smell. Hard to say without looking at it but deffo needs to be looked at. May just be a clip or something come adrift.
Other thing maybe the handbrake binding on? Chock your wheels well, release handbrake and jack the offending wheel up, spin the wheel and you will hear it binding or it won't turn.banging the wheel with hammer and working handbrake may free it up.

Again the really positive thing about last night was that Schuey made some very effective changes on the hour mark and a goal soon followed, the link up play between Whittaker and Ennis was very good. Lonwijk looks an excellent signing.
All looks positive at the moment apart from finishing .

"Steven Schumacher admitted Plymouth Argyle needed to sharpen up their finishing after their narrow but deserved 1-0 defeat of Oxford United

The Pilgrims' boss had no complaints about the chances his side created in the League One encounter, but he was frustrated they did not capitalise on them more, especially from some well-worked set pieces."
