Questions need to be asked...
« on April 29, 2017, 04:49:26 pm by PDX_Rover »
About the bizarre collapse in form since promotion was guaranteed.

We had the title squarely in our own hands and it's bitterly disappointing how they managed to cock it up.

Yes, promotion is fantastic but it's worrying that we can't seem to seal the deal...

Wtf is going on?

Coppinger not playing - makes the difference.

His team selections and tactics have been questionable. The phantom injuries which everyone has recovered from are too

Have to agree. Copps is key but we're not a one man team. The Plymouth manager's reverse psychology has worked a treat too.

But still the question remains... why did we let this slip away so easily?

They've ever right too. They're a better team than us. We aren't as good as some people think. Our record against the better teams in this division has been average at best.

Completely agree with you on that one.

Our record against the better teams lately is very poor. There's the need for some serious work before next season.

I think, from Carlisle away onward, we've played 10 games against top half teams. We've won 2, drawn 2 and lost 6.

If  Connor Grant gets a permanent move it's a travesty

Can we just swap teams with Exeter?  Better organised, better on the ball, better in every department.

Tbh, I though they were just as bad as we were after the first 25 mins - only they didn't self-destruct.

Resting players as soon as we had been promoted changed the mindset of the players and most of those that have played in games since have had one eye on the football and the other on the sun lounger!

Nope, they clearly had a game plan to stop us from playing. It worked, they were very well organised at the back.
As soon as we had the ball it was like looking at a yellow wall.

That is why Alcock messed up.
He looked for someone to play to and there was no movement.
He turned and had a bad touch and the rest is history.

Easier and cheaper to just swap the Managers .
Tisdale  can also bring Their Captain  and Goal scorer Jordan Moore-Taylor, What a left foot he's got.
He had Blair in his pocket all game and what a strike for his goal.
Fantastic Left Back and only 23, unfortunately  I think he's destined for better than the likes of us. :(

Did anyone else think that Lawlor left it thinking it was going wide? Those in the South could probably answer that best

I don't think he saw it until too late.
Most keepers do a token dive even if they can't get there.
The ball came from an unlikely area ( a very clever training ground free kick) and through a crowd scene.
I was right behind it and I didn't know where the ball was until it came through the pack.
I was hoping it would hit the post.
It was a great strike.

I take it that you were right behind it in the South Stand Mr Hound.
I was right behind it in the East stand . and could tell as soon as he hit it that Lawlor was never going to get anywhere near it, fantastic strike.

It's the same poor league that Pompey and Plymouth have been stuck in for years, we've gone straight back up.
Great achievmen, yet we have the same old moaners moaning about shite
