Match Thread - John Sheridan's Plymouth Argyle vs. Accrington Stanley

0-0 at HT

Fukkennnnnnnnnnn RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!

(Mocks gonna be right ain't he?)

I came over all green tint and predicted 2-1 to argo but it certainly loks more like a 0-0 or a 0-1 SSDD

getting mullerd,,,,so we will snatch this one,,,,

Let's hope so, we have been getting into it a bit more just now, the stoppage wont help though, hope their players ok, doesn't sound good.

We need to Brizzle Rovers winning 2-0

3-0 now

FOOKIN hell, now Reid has just missed one, draw not good enough for us.

Nah we need to win this ffs

10 to go,,,need to snatch this one(obviously) tyler to do the bis

I get the feeling if there was another hour to go they wouldn't score

Common Argo!

Sheridan out!

Its Blue, its Square and..................we are deep in the soft and smelly.

The table don't look good for us tonight!

If you didn't go, you were lucky - it was awful. Both sides were dire. The previous game looked like a classic compared to this one. Truly awful.

I have to vent some anger after that drivel that's just been served up:

Gilmartin seems to have his feet glued to the 6 yard box.

Branston loves to run 10 yards out of position to hack someone down. You are not Franz Beckenbauer!

Hourihane is a captain who leads by the worst possible example.

Murray was again not interested in working to win the ball. I'd be tempted to send him back after that.

Reid spurned some good chances by just walloping it and could barely stay on his feet at times.

Others were pretty much anonymous.

Bhasera and Paris were the only two players capable of doing something. Their output sadly isn't consistent across 90 minutes and Paris needs to look across the sodding line now and again. Also Luke Young looked to pass forward when he came on and Cole has to be first choice. We are bereft of confidence, ability and people willing to take responsibilty.

Hopefully that'll calm me down.

so with rovers and the dons having two games in hand doesn't look good.

Pretty awful game,archetypal rlelegation dog fight,shaded by Accrington first half,by Argyle in the second,although probably the closest either side came to scoring was when Cole tipped over a free kick from virtually the last kick of the game.Argyle looked much better when Luke Young came on,put his foot on the ball and started to link the play amidst all of the mayhem.The guy who was carried off for them looked to be in a bad way,oxygen mask on when he left the ground,hope he's ok.Thought Charles was quite competent,Bhasera worked hard,Berry doesn't seem to be his usual self at the moment.Not sure what to make of the Ipswich loanee,wasn't in the game much,maybe an opportunity for Ugwe next week.Neither side deserved to win and not an afternoon that will linger long in the memory.

PS Argyle did have a goal disallowed in the second half,couldn't see what for,not many protests though.

I thought that if Accrington were not so intent on time wasting they could have got 3 points today, by far the better side..especially in the first half.

unless all the fletcher deadwood is cleared out, the speccy banker will be looking at a blue square relegation battle if we don't go bust again in the summer first.

This team will struggle to stay even in the Blue Square...mark my words...we will be looking at conference South in 2 seasons time under James Brent.

I see Webb and the latest superfan Mike Newell were in the programme today!!!

Accrington looked like a team devoid of any confidence. Blatant time wasting to try and secure a point. Like you say, if they had any ambition at all they would have probably won.

Morecambe played us off the park and came away with nothing. Today was two pretty crap teams with zero confidence. That's two pretty shit performances but four points, which is the only positive spin on it.

We didn't get going at all but it's still an improvement on Fletcher's approach. We actually knew how to defend today and still looked more like scoring than we usually did in a Fletcher game. Still lots of weaknesses as goes without saying but Sheridan has a much better idea of how to pick up points with this side than Fletcher did.

What game were you watching GreenSam because from where I sat this game was abysmal from kick off and didn't improve one jot all the way through. One of the worst performances I have ever witnessed and that's saying something. I include during Fletchers reign in that so how you call it an improvement god only knows apart from we got a point.

The goal that wasn't. I have absolutely no idea why the goal didn't stand. I admit the players didn't seem to protest and I may have blinked but could see nothing wrong with it at all. The officials today were worse than the football. Again.

On the comms they said it was a clear push. We will have to let the new players bed in, it's early days, trouble is we don't have much time. Like others have said we have had 4 point from 2 and some of the harder games looking games might be easier to win, these dogshit must win games are nearly always 0 0
