Much better second half but for me we are still very slow getting forward and when we do it seems we can’t find the onion basket COYWM

2-0 good night mr chips garbage goal to concede again why when we are 1-0 down we are still passing the ball along our back line this is fxcking garbage and Ian needs to put a rocket up there bottoms but then again why not just write it of as another bad day at office 🤷♂️

And all because we have such an inept manager that keeps chopping and changing and doesn’t know his best side Bloody awful, we should have taken these to the cleaners before half time but we are not anywhere near as good as we believed we were before the season started What a smack in the face watching Bolton 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Yet again, so much possession, no end product. Not good enough I’m afraid so looks like mid table for us again this season. It’s frustrating because Plymouth aren’t that great a side yet can hurt us so easily. Never mind the next win, I can’t see the next goal.

I really do feel sorry for our fans as we are built up to believe we are the greatest teams since sliced bread but unless we get some quality in our team and I don’t mean just on paper I mean on the field we are going to be let down again. That was not the team I watched beating Wycombe or drawing at Ipswich and does Ian keep swapping and changing his team every game I don’t get. Onwards and upwards COYWM bad night 🤷♂️😢

Two years ago we played our opening League 2 match against Forest Green and my takeaway thought was "those set pieces were very poor".
Fast forward and theres been zero improvemebt. Time for Evatt to get some proper help with coaching. When a ref makes a mistake Ians first to call them out. How about he addresses some of the obvious downfalls. Set pieces for and against.
Sure Mr Wheater can come in for some coaching.

Shocking defending from Santos for the 1st goal Terrible goalkeeping from trafford for the 2nd Once again no striker scores a goal But it's Ok because we are a better team than last year..... and according to Evatt it's how you react to a defeat, well we reacted well today, but no doubt Evatt will see it as another moral victory because we dominated the game.

Another corner comes to nothing I wonder if our stats man could find out how many goals we have scored from corners as I bet it’s not a lot 🤷♂️COYWM And how many have been pathetic and totally wasted? WTF do they do at training? Has Santos improved his heading? Come to that have any of this crew improved since they started playing for us Ian?

Too many average players I’m afraid but no stand outs, especially in midfield and no serious No10 since Sarce left. I think Ian chops and changes because there’s little or no difference in who he picks, none of them can run the game and dominate the opposition but the big miss is up front. Despite his scoring a few last season I’ve never rated Bakajoko and Charles chases a lot but where’s the end product? Dapo looks a shadow of the player he was and Bod looks like being missing for a while. Sadly we have no money to improve the squad and it seems pretty pointless bringing in players no better than those we already have. Not sure where we go from here but it ain’t looking good. 😞

Why has he not got Sadlier into the team more than he’s been playing and what does he see in Kachunga it baffles me sometimes but in his after match comments he’ll say we was very unlucky and we were the better team but we all know it’s the result that we see first cone on Ian grow some balls and say it as we see it shocking.

How did we lose that?
2 shockingly bad bits of defending from Johnston and Santos, an absolute sitter missed by Bakayoko and loads of half chances that weren’t taken.
We dominated the game but if you defend badly and miss chances you are more than likely going to lose so overall a terribly poor performance.
We started well. Charles twice skinned their no 6 and we passed it around well.
But this passing it around well doesn’t create much. It seems to be passing for passing sake these days with little or no end product.
We actually had a free kick 10 yards inside our half when the score was 1-0 and Jones turned and played it back 30 yards to Trafford.
58% possession; 14 shots to Plymouths 9; 10 corners to Plymouth’s 2. But Plymouth’s 2 corners created absolute mayhem in our box and they could have scored from both while our 10 corners did not worry Plymouth.
For all our 1st half dominance, we created little until Charles set up Lee who should have scored but his shot was deflected wide.
Then Plymouth had a free kick deep in the right back position and their guy just punted it forward. Johnston went up to head it clear and totally missed the ball and then Santos (Mr Casual) got himself into a dreadful mess in the challenge leaving their guy clean through to score. Yet another defensive blunder.
We still had most of the ball and Iredale fired a shot inches wide on the stroke of half time.
So we went in at half time 1-0 down from a game we had dominated.
Second half, we again had most of the ball but could, probably should have conceded from Plymouth’s 2nd (and last corner) when we were all at sea again.
We had most of the game but couldn’t get a clear chance until Charles and Bradley set up Bakayoko for a 1 on 1 with the keeper and he missed. He casually side footed it, the keeper got a hand to it and the ball hit the post. A terrible miss from someone classed as a striker.
We continued to have loads of the ball.
In the 2nd half, Kachunga, Iredale and Dempsey all got to the bye line and put the ball straight into the keepers hands.
And so the game played out – you could see that we wouldn’t score but then a long ball forward. The striker, with Santos at his back, was allowed to bring the ball down and play in his partner who ran at Johnston, got space and scored. Not so much as a token challenge by either centre half.
Overall, a poor performance. The manager will claim ball dominance. I will point out the score. 2 goals poorly conceded and 0 goals scored from 14 shots.
Marks:-
Trafford - 6 Not much to do and had little or no chance with either goal
Bradley - 6 Again, on a relatively average day, his class stood out. Got kicked endlessly
Jones - 5 Some poor defending in the 1st half almost cost us
Santos - 2 Awful. At fault for both goals
Johnston - 3 Missed a header from a long ball for the 1st goal and just didn’t bother challenging for the 2nd
Iredale - 5 A decent shot at the end of the 1st half but couldn’t get the ball into the area accurately when he had the chance
Morley - 4 Dreadful corners yet again. Couldn’t play the MJ Williams role
Lee - 6 Very involved but, unfortunately, missed a great chance at 0-0
Dempsey - 5 Not too involved
Kachunga - 3 Fell down lots of times but what else. I do not understand the decision to start with him
Charles - 5 Very lively but the chances did not fall for him
Bakayoko - 2 Missed an absolute sitter which would have made it 1-1
Afolayan Only on a few minutes and did not see anything
Sadlier Like Afolayan, only on a few minutes. 2 shots.
