Plymouth post match reflections

[Back of the net]

Ask them to tone down what's been written in the last 2 months? Today was the first time I'd seen us win at NYS since November 8th (I missed the Northampton game). In those 112 days we've P18 W3 D4 L11.

I enjoyed today as much as I did that Lincoln game and I so want MH to succeed but the cold hard facts are is if we don't win 4 of our next 5 we'll be worse off than we were under SE when he was sacked after 38 games last season.

Yes there have been injuries by the boat load but there have also been mistakes and the time for asking for humble pie to be consumed is surely when we are mathematically safe, not after one great performance?

CAM you only have to look at his responses to anyone who disagrees with him or criticises the coach. He’s not interested in debate he’s only interested in arguing the toss.
He asked for the Matt Taylor thread to be closed because he didn’t like the narrative.
People feedback on what they see. It’s been horrendous and people have said so. Today was better and people have said so.
He is trying to be relevant. My money is on him being that poster who used to tell everyone alll the time they were wrong about Stubbs.
Either way several posters don’t/ won’t respond to him.

If there was any thought to replacing MH, this presents a dilemma. Not just because that was a proper performance on many levels, but also the fact that we obviously need a replacement in the wings to take over quickly, and it's going to be awkward if they line that up and we stick another game like that in... may even be a point they have to sack a manager who's just bagged a couple of great results.

IMHO I don't think they have reached that point.

Top performance. Couldn't fault anyone in our ranks, and could see what it meant to the lads when they celebrated just in front of us for the goal. I'm sure I even caught sight of Gru smiling. Nothing is fixed, but to find fault with that outing is needless and comes from other issues people can't sit on.

On to Tuesday, hoping that gives the fans a reason to be a bit noisier, a bit more optimistic, and to turn up to watch when the club desperately needs the support. I'll eat my humble pie - I said time was up on MH, but yesterday put that on the shelf. UTM.

I am sorry that some people are annoyed I won't join the MH fan club after a home victory, but I do not believe he has the ability to be a successful manager at this level. He is our manager and so when I go to games I will support him and the team, but this board is for us to share opinions and discuss matters about the club, it isn't an echo chamber. Yesterday was a lot better they deserve all the credit for that, but we are in a relegation battle and the next 13 performances need to have that same level of desire. I hope MH keeps us up because I love the club not MH. Scrapping survival in 18th to 20th position is not a successful season, for us. It isn't unfair to expect us to improve on 13th and start to see the squad be reshaping, and see that as success, we are a mile away from that.
As for the 3 at the back, it created increase pressure changed the shape of the team which led to more mistakes and was totally unnecessary as we had a natural replacement for Martha on the bench, two players that our manager signed in the window. Either cover or the man utd lad could have been a direct replacement, he gambled on a change and was very lucky to get away with it.
I do agree about Gore what a wonderful footballer, and Nombe and James effort was amazing, but Yearwood was the star for me, I hope he is given more opportunities to play that role and he keeps going.

I thought yesterday was a great advertisement for the third division. Two evenly matched teams going at it, end to end.
Only three magnificent saves prevented us going in well in front. As is normal, they rallied in the second half, might have had a late equaliser. Was the decision kama for last week's offside 'goal'?
Cann had a steady home debut, did what he had to do. Nice to see the crowd respond well to the team at the end.
I'm just taking each game at a time, and not agonising over the league table. What will be, will be.

Was counting minutes down from early in the 2nd half wanted that win. On the way to the game said this time next week I'm looking for 2 home wins & at least a pt at Huddersfield. Want league 1 football here next season. UM know idea who you are do you sit above me below or at the side of me?

No humble pie from me at the moment. It was a great win and I stood and clapped him and the players off. It’s not imo anything other than a great win. If we follow it up and improve over the coming games I’ll be more than happy to eat humble pie. But it’s 1 game I’ve witnessed home and away some tripe. Let’s see what happens in the next 5 games before any of us should be told to eat humble pie. I agree about the fans getting behind the team Tuesday, I thought they did that yesterday tbf.

Went yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how we played I agree with Derby miller why did he change to 3 at the back when we were doing well? Bianchieri would have been a direct replacement for Martha (who for a change put a shift in) we just seemed to invite pressure although having said that Agbaire did well as well as the other 2 alongside, I could not see a weak link but I’m not getting too excited special mention to Yearwood who had a great game

This season has been very strange, I think even the most ardent Hamshaw critic can see he has brought in some good players, and the team is a rebuild job by a rookie manager.
Chuck in the ridiculous amount of injuries , and it's no wonder we are struggling .
But there have been signs that we have the basis for a decent team, yesterday was probably the best example of that so far.
For once it wasn't a 45 minute display,more like 75.
Regardless of yesterday's result,sacking him before the end of the season would be pointless unless you have someone lined up to take over the next day.
So let's hope the players stay fit,and the points keep coming.

I agree, I think that really paints a true reflection of it. And a lot has hinged on injuries. Realistically we may not be able to do that all the time, but there will be more chances, and goals like anything else the more frequency play happens.

We must get behind them.

Get the sense that Yearwood starting to show what he?s capable of (perhaps run of games needed) could be key to us putting an important run together
