Lots of pelagic fish landed versus lots of shrimp (Argyle v Morecambe)

[Boletus Edulis]

Think I am seeing Morecambe for the first time tomorrow, and do not know a lot about them. Apparently you have a decent keeper, and obviously seem to be in the middle position where neither promotion nor relegation awaits. Which given the off-the-field travails must be counted as a result.

So how do you play, what are your strengths and thoughts for this one?

Now we are back to Saturday's more confident of an Argo win.

 

[Green 75]

1-1

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

Going for a comfortable 3-1 home win

 

[DearneValleyRover]

From our encounter with them, there keeper is solid, they were well organised, closed us down quickly and were physical.

FT: Argyle 1-0 Morecambe

The table is looking good now. Mind the gap.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

We were very fluent the first half and should have been 3 or 4 up. We were bang average (at best) in the second, and Morecambe should have equalised. Still three points is three points, shame about Stevenage.

Carey's goal was a cracker. How did Jervis miss in the second did it go behind him and hit his heel?

 

[Rob_of_the_green]

Thought we looked a class (and league) above first half, tearing Morecambe apart almost with will and looked like we're going to score everytime we came forward, unfortunately it was probably a bit too easy and we overplayed and weren't clinical allowing our level to drop a bit and they came out fired up 2nd half so we had to weather the storm and stamp our authority on it again which we did about 15 mins into the 2nd half. Can't believe Jervis spooned that one as you said looked like it hit his heel and it just trickled back to the keeper. Should've been more but I'd say we were always going to win it

 

[Boletus Edulis]

DearneValleyRover was right about their keeper, but they were one of the least physical sides I have seen at Home Park this year. Obviously, with the exception of Ellison when he came on in the second half - fair play to him at 38 putting it about. And he did wake up some of the crowd to boo and jeer him like the pantomine villian.

Was disappointed with the crowd size, at under 9,000, given that we had only four home games to go.

We were in the family zone and I noticed in the first half that Kennedy and Carey seem to be developing a good partnership, and Therkeld had a great first half but was pinned back more in the second.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Should have won 4 or 5 nil, didn't but it's the 3 points that matters.

Everybody needs to watch Carey's goal. He's the best player in this league when he's on song.

 

[Rob_of_the_green]

Must be said though that the overall attendance figure was slightly affected by the fact that Morecambe only had about 12 fans (not that I expected them to bring loads)

And he is beginning to get back on form. That he is playing in the hole and now has an outlet in Kennedy and some support from Sarcovic is the reason why.

One for my fellow greens. Just got back from my octogenerian parents, and we were moving some things around and came across a load of vinyls. Including a Beatles 45 Twist and Shout. I have to find a working player now so I can listen to it!

Nice one. Unfortunately there are loads of versions of that single - so it might be worth £2 or it might (just) help fund a deck (or a Dansette?) from Ebay.

I am fairly confident that we're safe now. For some reason we've been diabolical on Tuesday nights this season, so seeing as though we've got an 11 point gap and only weekend games with 8 games to go surely there's no chance of bottling again?

Definitely not impossible for Plymouth Argyle though.

I am pretty sure it would have been pressed in the 1960s, but I did not check the year as I was too busy trying to twist with my youngest son.

I also found the album for Paint Your Wagon! Which has my favourite ironic song, Hand Me Down That Can of Beans. That don't make songs like that anymore. Fortunately.

I think that features that there Clint Eastwood (I Talk to the Trees) before he paired up with General Saint.

It also includes Lee Marvin's number one " Wandering Star"' who makes anything by William Shatner sound good by comparison.
