[Not to me, Accrington hammered us for a lot of the game and we soaked up so much pressure that could've easily lead to a Accy equaliser or winner much sooner. Very happy with a point.] Just copied this off Plymouths Forum, A fair assesment, wish em well against Exeter on Tues.:)

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

The ref had a shocker!!:mad::knife::cool::eek:
Penalty incident No 1;
Gray was surging into the Argyle box when one defender clearly pushed him in the back. (We all saw it from 90 yards away in the Clayton end!!) The extra momentum from the push took Gray past the second defender but caused him to lose his balance and fall forwards! (The second defender didn't touch Gray). How both the ref and his assistant did not see the push is beyond belief!:dummy2:
Then to book Gray for suppsed "simulation" was proof that they were both temorarily blinded!:s_whistl::s_whistl:

Penalty incident No 2;
Buxton was racing forward on one of his trademark runs and did his great way of changing direction whist at full speed. this bamboozled the Argyle defender who took away Buxton,s leg from under him! An even more obvious penalty than incident No 1....!!!!!!!:dummy::s_whistl:

As for the rest of the match;
Credit to the Ref for playing as Argyle and their fans had travelled a long way! Morecambe and Ellison would have been crying like babies to get it called off!:confused::mad:
In the end it wasn't very conducive to playing good passing football and it was the right decision to sub Naismith as the heavy ground did not suit his style of running with the ball. We were much more of a threat with the more direct approach up to Koyode. However, we still did well down the wings and moly played some very clever football in the second half. the heavy pitch didn't suit Will Hatfield today and his efforts in recent matches told on him early in the second half....the lad was knackered!!
We had a great spell for twenty mimutes when Murphy nearly scored from close in but he was just off balance when the ball came to him. Koyode should have scored with a header but he tried to get more power on it, as Redraine said, he should have just softened the touch and it woud have gone under the cross bar instead of over it.
Their goal was down to some classy pace as Buxton was found out for speed and Marcus was really angry with himself as the ball squeezed under his legs, having got into the right position to stop it!
Overall a draw seemed to be a fair result and it is another point closer to our target.
But the referee????!!!!!!:dummy:
ON STANLEY ON:mosher:

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

the game today was more slushball than football, given the conditions I really can't condem any players perfromance, a draw was a fair result and I recon given our goal average another 6 points will see us safe

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

on a dry pitch we would have played them off the park, im sure of that

I've just seen Tom Aldred's "towering header" on the Football League Show. It was worth waiting over an hour to see those few seconds!:)

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

Sounds like another battling performance from Stanley. Read on Dan's webby thing that Mr. Boco got a round of applause when he was subbed. But how did he perform? Is he another ex-Stanley player who may just be wishing he'd stayed where he was appreciated?

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

He played in a free role just behind the front two,did ok,but never noticed him in the second half to be honest and just he did get a good round of applause

Todays Mirror back page, a picture of Andre Marriner ( ref Chelsea v Arsenal yesterday and sent wrong player off ) with a caption bubble saying " Oh no, I'll be at Accrington nexr week "
That says it all to me !!

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

To be honest Exile, whilst he was a good un fer us, He wouldn't get in this team NOW,if he was here.;)

Re: Plymouth Match Thread
 

Yes, it says the media are a bunch of clichéd morons.

P.S. Thanks, F19 and Cashers, for the summary of Mr.Boco. Suspect your right, I wasn't asking because I'm one of those who seem to think things would improve if only so-and-so was brought back. Onwards, not backwards.

Maybe the person who wrote it should go to the same opticians for an eye test, Stanley are away next week :D
