Plymouth v Barnsley, match thoughts

[Young_Nudger]

Second half.
I expected a slow start - but not that slow.
OMG. That was horrible.

None of the new signings looked any good.
And Kitchen was horrendous.
We had no pattern or passion - Plymouth just passed the ball through us.
On that performance we look a bottom 8 team.

Early days ! scorline flatters us today , some awful performaces , only players worth any credit (only my view ) Collins , Williams and Aitchison , rest 2/10 improvent required .

I agree Kitchin absolutely terrible, Styles better 2nd half, Norwood is a tank players bounce off him! Says everything that Collins was our MOM.

Onwards and upwards

We got what we deserved today. Our midfield like last season mostly none existent. Styles and Benson tracking none of the runners for Plymouths goal which was a well taken one.

The Pilgrims missed three sitters and our keeper MOTM by a country mile.

Five strikers departed and one in who is declared not got fit enough to start the game. The less said about this from me the better !

Defiantly more negatives than positives , as Doggy pointed out the three central midfield players were awful both in possession and out of it .

Argyle were able to turn at will in to pockets of space and work their attacks from there with nobody really doing anything to close them down .

We were lumping balls forward most of the time which defiantly isn't the way Duff wants us playing .

We could have easily nicked a point for all that but we wouldn't have warranted it because Argyle should really have had the game well won .

Stone wall penalty on young Atchison as many have said , clear shove in the back all day long .

Much to work on over the coming weeks for Duff and his staff to say the least .

Plymouth - please keep that school kid away from the camera !!

Missed the penalty claim making a cuppa lol

Plus - Plymouth are a poor team.
They were there for the taking.
But Barnsley made them look half decent.

Really , I thought Plymouth were everything we aren't .

Everyone worked extremely hard and every player knew their job .

They had a real threat about them going forward and only poor finishing prevented us getting a real opening day drubbing .
