Re: Plymouth game........
In football there are the leaders and there are the also-rans.
For the first 20 minutes, I was at a loss to understand how Argyle are leading the race for promotion.
After 90 minutes the difference became crystal clear.
Leaders Plymouth didn't need to break sweat to claim the points against a Stanley side rapidly becoming the also-rans.
Argyle didn't dominate the game as Wigan did, but they still possessed enough speed & skill to overcome a Stanley team lacking all the qualities required to succeed.
Disorganised, lacking confidence & devoid of creativity, Stanley's performance was both predictable & pedestrian.
Apart from a brief spell at the start of the 2nd half when we managed to score, we showed all the attributes of a team in free-fall.
The remembrance service conducted prior to kick-off in front of what appeared to be almost a full house was a real credit to the club, ASSC, Royal British Legion & both sets of fans, whose silent observance was exemplary.
Such a shame the game was one not worthy of remembrance.
