2020/21 General Match Thread

[SoutheySWFC]

Looking forward to this game, Lutonola are the bestest ever.

 

[Jamo]

Luton are unstoppable and I've no doubt they'll win comfortably today, 2 or 3 nil again. Fully deserve to go up and it's just a question of who goes up with them.

Mind you I was saying this about Portsmouth when they were 10 points ahead of us and top in December...

 

[Kenneth E End]

That goal was inevitable but that is shocking defending. Think this would be 70 games without defeat leading for Luton if it remains the same.

 

[Jamo]

Another one of our team we've offloaded to Luton in the last 8 months scores for them, Matty Pearson Just waiting for that shitehawk Moncur to bag now

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Fucking hell we’re shite

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Fuck off ref, that is absolutely blatant.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Hows that not a pen. Esp after he gave it?

 

[Kenneth E End]

Lost our mojo after the first 15 mins. That is a blatant penalty.

 

[Bottega Don]

Definite penalty.

Lovely goal that

 

[Kenneth E End]

This has been a really surprising 20 mins because usually we’re great front runners. Isn’t that their first shot?

Needed the break then because our shape has been totally outhought since that opening goal. The midfield Shinnie apart is having a mare. Hylton has barely touched the ball so far.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Really odd performance from us, looked good up until the goal and then just started to play really sloppy. The “non penalty” (which I was totally blocked from seeing so can’t comment!) seemed to really spook us and we’ve looked rattled ever since. Coventry deserved the goal and it was well worked but looked like Pearson got turned a bit too easily. Odd as we normally put the foot on the throat when we go a goal up but we lost control instead. The change by Coventry has helped them also as they seem to have an extra man in midfield now which is causing issues.

Need to get Shinnie on the ball around the area, he looks the one who can create something for us today. A few loooking a bit off the pace so might need to dip into the bench sooner rather tha later, Hylton in particular doesn’t look confident at all would normally be right on the spot for that Stacey ball rolling across the area

 

[Craig]

Fucks sake Luton, pull your fingers out you’re ruining my Sunday acca.

 

[Super_horns]

Luton getting on top and maybe could have had a penalty of their own ?

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Luton fans cribbing Ole's at the wheel, no lads, you're not northern enough.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Luton getting on top and maybe could have had a penalty of their own ?

Both were penalties.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Coventry were dogged and deserved a point. We didnt really click and our usual incise passing just wasnt there today with none of the midfield looking at their best - even Shinnie whos the heartbeat of our creativity. One of those days with nothing quite coming off.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Bit disappointed not to win that. That’s only 4 points we’ve dropped from winning positions all season. But it’s a point v tricky opponents who to be fair defended pretty resolutely apart from our goal.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Draws an alright result, considering it wasn’t our best performance by any means, couple of players a bit off it today especially in an attacking sense and we still created some decent openings to have won it. A shame the McCormack chance fell to him rather than some like Collins, was on him quick but put it in the only spot in the goal the keeper had a hope of saving it!

Think the Hylton was 10mins or so too late. Crazy to think giving what he has given us but with the way the team is currently set up, he isn’t the best option up there now and for me Lee or Lua Lua should have been on a bit sooner.

 

[Kenneth E End]

10 points from 12 in February is a very serviceable month nonetheless and may well gain Michael Harford the manager of the month award that he was robbed of in January.

March is where we need to make hay and seal that top spot. If we can get 11 from the 5 games, for me that would leave us with just 8 points needed from the last 7 games to gain promotion.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Luton are so much better than the vast majority of the teams we've played this season.

Shame we lost an outlet and sat back. I felt we could have offered a bit more in the second half.

Was surprised that you seemed to settle for a point in the second half, after our goal you really had us on the back foot and I was a little concerned for the second period as we didn’t seem to have a handle on it. Think we worked it out over half time.

Wasn’t one of our best performances by any means so nice to hear we looked good from the oppo perspective!

 

[Caer]

A good weekend for us results wise and now would be a perfect time to put some wins together with 13 games to go and a 2 week spell with 5 games coming up with Barnsley away being the looming giant in the middle of them.

Looking at Luton's remaining games I don't imagine we'll catch them so hopefully we afford ourselves the luxury of going into the Barnsley game not needing to win. Not holding my breath though.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Didn't Fergie once say March was the most important? Would love it if we could beat Luton at home on the 9th to act as a catalyst for their fall back into the playoffs.

 

[T.A]

Pompey fans, any of you lot making the long trip up north? What sort of team do you think will play?

 

[SF_]

Classy Blackpool fans saying Lenny Johnrose's terminal illness is karma because he had a bit of a joke about the Oystons.

 

[K-Win]

Not going, personally T.A

Tricky one regarding what sort of team we put out. Because of the bad run it's not so clear cut what our first team is now anyway. Before Christmas, it was very obvious.

What will Kenny do? He may think that we desperately need any sort of win to try to lift the mood and go all out to get to Wembley. Or he may feel that we need to focus everything on Saturday's league match with Bradford and put a reserve team out.

Are you playing the first team?

 

[Bar Carousel]

Pompey fans, any of you lot making the long trip up north? What sort of team do you think will play?

I'd imagine 3-400 but the fixture has certainly gone under the radar. Today's local paper barely mentions the fixture, given the apathy the competition has received up until now.

It'll be a tough game and your record in 2019 is right up there.

Personally i'm pretty non-plussed about it. If anything i'd rather we lost so I don't have to face the moral dilemma of missing out on a Wembley final or not.

One match does not define a season. I'd be looking it from your own point of view that it would setup Plymouth for a very encouraging finish looking ahead to next year, rather than staring down the barrel of a relegation scrap. If we win all our remaining home games and lose all our away games we still get promoted.

 

[BelizeHatter]

But neither will happen. Promotion is still very much in the balance. Its obv in our own hands and a fantastic position to be in - but its far, far from done. To keep seeing some people think its over and we're already up scares me in case the team start to see read and feel the same

I think so, the rewards of even just getting to Wembley are very good for a club our size. I would expect a good game either way, no doubt Vaughan will score if he plays?

I’m watching it on the box but will probably go to Wembley if we get there. 95 was the last time we were there so missed out by two years. Who knows when our next opportunity will be. Plus it’s a no pressure game from my point of view compared to a P/O final game which must be awful unless you win.
