Re: Argyle Match Thread
It was certainly a well-earned point today although I didn't see it quite like smobile. The first ten minutes were quite hairy but after that I thought we controlled the first half. Yes, Plymouth had chances but we had 2 or 3 near misses ourselves. Their fans were booing their team after half an hour. It was good to see us pressing further up the field and we played some good football. I thought Luke Joyce had one of his best games this season with George Miller in support. Sadly, I'm afraid I cannot see what Peter Murphy adds to the team. His positional sense and his distribution leave much to be desired.
I thought Odejayi was superb. His ability to hold up play, his deft touches, and his headers were superb. But he desperately needs support to take advantage of his efforts. I think McCartan, Hatfield and Gray are too easily outmuscled and outrun. The defence was excellent - Rob Atkinson and Tom Aldred had their work cut out against two big and powerful strikers but they did admirably.
And Rommy Boco? Totally wasted on the left wing. He had an early chance and made a couple of good crosses but there was little else. I travelled down with a Plymouth fan and before the game he said that apart from one good goal Rommy has been largely anonymous.
