Plymouth Argyle v Mansfield Town match day thread

What an absolutely terrible day so far, nightmare.

Agreed, with the exception of our score, it's a nightmare.

Bowlocks, I'm out of here.

Excellent result against the team in 4th.

8 more wins from 16 games for 83 points. Should be enough and I can't see us not getting it.

COYG

Fantabuloso!

Well that was more like it. A pretty benign start but after we got the first with a Wylde cracker it was only a matter of how many. We really could have had a hatful. Wylde was immense and terrorized their right back all game. The new lad looked assured and is quite clearly an upgrade on Mellor.

Adams name reverberated around the ground after the 3rd went in and he responded with some hearty fist pumps.

We were really good, but God knows how Mansfield have got where they are on that showing.

Anyway, happy days.

Good win but Portsmouth (one game in hand) and Accrington (three games in hand) only 11 points behind us. Cant see Oxford, Pompey or Accrington dropping many more points this season. Still dont think we can do it.

Believe me, if we play like we did today for most of our remaining games, what anyone else does will be irrelevant.

Top win today, just the sort of improvement in home form that was desperately needed. Well done DA and the squad.

Thinking on perhaps it's not so bad, Mansfield are sh1t and you have left them hanging for us while the 3 we gave up to Wycombe may be the 3 which sees them catch you. We lost no ground on that 7th spot and the Stones nicked a late winner, doesn't make up for Chiefs getting d1cked, but I will take the small mercy.

It'll be tough alright.  Whetever the result we know 100% Mansfield will be by far the better team.  I cant be arsed to pay £22 to watch us get completely outplayed on a cabbage field.

BRENT OUT

Dear oh dear what a complete performance you missed

What was the crowd Tgwu?

I'm glad it was a poor crowd, maybe Brent will get the message about treating the fans with contempt, his arrogance must be costing 2000 fans a match.
Well done to DA and the boys great result that we really needed. All the teams around us scored 3 or 4 goals as well. 17 games to go we can't afford another slump like we've just had.

What, are you sorry for them having to watch that carp?

7,400ish. Only remember start.

Agree with Czar and Greenskin, much better home performance, just what the doctor ordered, the squad had a freshness about it that I haven't witnessed at HP for a good while, some cracking individual performances and an all round good team effort. Mansfield could've been 4th from bottom but we did what we had to do. Disappoining crowd, pitch still poor although we managed to play some decent football on it. Not too pleased about other results at the top but if we keep winning our games I'm sure we'll make it.

this was one of the better performances i have seen from Argyle in a long time. lots of good possession and attempts at goal and some good tussles to win the ball back.

oh and we won a penalty which got the biggest cheer of the game lol.

If i were to find any faults i would say there were one or two defensive errors that almost cost us a goal or two but thankfully the post and the goal line too saved us as it did Mansfield too at times.
Carey is looking sharp and i was happy to see him on the pitch and not in scotland as i feared earlier lol.
wylde was my man of the match he was excellent today
Brunt was a handful and took his second goal very well. Reuben seems to have a knee injury by the looks of it but even so it is difficult to start him when brunt is scoring and he cant stay fit to find his form.
Forster has hands down won the right to be first choice right back and Mellor has got a job on his hands to dislodge him as he look far more comfortable in that position than he does.
Tanner suits the role Jervis plays so he should be first choice there now too and jervis too has to fight to win back his spot aswell

no one had bad game in truth so it was a good shift all round.

shame the attendance was smaller than usual.

overall good win we kept a clean sheet which will help with goal difference which we may need to rely on come my and we are still 5 point behid northampton and 4 above oxford and 10 clear of wycome

one side note isnt it about time that sodding PA turned down the volume on his sound system? and has 3 little birds been retired?

I don't think many people would have argued pre-match about benching Reid Jervis and Mellor, but it was still a big call by Adams and it was bang on. Take out your three most out of form/under-performing players and replace them with players who give you an 8 or 9 out of 10 performance, and the net result is there for all to see.

Top work, Derek.

and now its down to those 3 to win their places back and for the other 3 to keep them. EXACTLY what you want as a manager i say a competitive squad and options.

16 games to go and so far, so good. As long as Argyle can remain 9/10 points clear of 4th place then promotion is nailed on.
