Such a sorry sight. No plan B. Hope Mowbrays learns something from this game and move on.

I suppose Mowbray saw something in him at Coventry that made him think Samuel could be a useful player at this level. Hasn't really worked out yet and Samuel certainly wouldn't cut in in the Championship, so it wouldn't surprise me if he left in the summer whether we go up or stay down. Depends what we're paying him though!

That's the thing though he seems determined to try and justify it by either starting him out of position or putting him on whenever he doesn't start. Pointless.

Graham didn't turn up until the end of November and was being called all sorts on here by the majority of the messageboard up to that point.  Bennett has been terrible on the right wing all season and has only shown some form since being moved into the middle. 

A blind man on a gallopping horse can swe Conway is finished. As I've been saying all season it's highly likely Mowbray's over-reliance on his old favourites will cost us.

 

Our first loss in 18. Them bloody 'old favourites' haven't done too bad in the last few months.

How many times? Conway is not responsible. Mowbray is!

Proved correct - hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it. Before every match TMs selections have been questioned - then people either slip into the background when proved wrong - or come all self righteous when they think they are correct. It sounds like most players are playing poorly today with passes mis placed - don't see how Conway playing would make any difference.

How was Smallwood playing ? Do you know he was taken of to avoid a yellow card - or that having played mid week he thought Evans might bring some energy ?

 

 

Smallwood has been substituted a number of times recently when I didn't think he was playing badly. At first I thought it was an odd decision or two but its happened too often to be coincidental now imo.

What’s most galling is that we haven’t even had a ‘right good go’ at getting back into it. Can’t recall one decent opening or save from their keeper.

Horrible result and performance. Mowbray should justly get some tough questions from Bayes etc on his gameplan, and particularly his subs, but I won’t hold my breathe.

Fair enough. I thought these two more so than the others. And I forgot Nutall was thrown in as well.

i cant see this lot winning the play off team full off bottlers this team is good enough  to walk this  league why is it not cause of tm i tried  to support him but i have had enough this 18 game unbeaten crap just been covering  the cracks

ofc today looks like shrewsbury will drop points and we go and @#/? it up as per normal  never make it  easy for themselves 

Ya,nothing like an 18 game unbeaten streak to paper over cracks..

Shrewsbury winning

[Lihamylly]

...and Shrews leading, at 89th minute...

 

Just one of those nights I guess...:(

[bluefred]

Shrews winning 2-1 we’re down to third 

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Match ended. Poor.

hope it’s not too much to ask that we get this unbeaten run hype out of the way and go on a winning run to the wire now.

Bell was the only positive in the first half. Armstrong hasn't been anonymous; he's been bloody awful.

Plymouth have deserved this. Their players and fans were up for it from kickoff. Wondering if the preparations haven't been right for this one, as our whole setup looked tired.

So do you think TM will have succeeded if we end up in the play offs?

Let’s not go there. Yet.

[Miker]

Too many mistakes on our side. Plymouth have simply been the better team.

Armstrong and Bell are not gelling on that left flank, Armstrong keeps drifting towards the centre. In fact, all the players keep drifting to their natural positions. The team feels fairly unbalanced with strikers playing as wingers, a winger in midfield, and a left back at centreback. That's going to be a big problem for Mowbray moving forward.

Bad day just got worse. They’re just too damn consistent and pull it out of the bag most weeks despite being outplayed. We just cannot do that.

[LDRover]

A couple of predictions - Parson saying Home Park has always been a bogey ground and chaddy saying it's not Mowbray's fault if the players show no effort.

[AdamRochina]

It's shrewsbury who's going up automatically.. The amount of luck on there side plus they are more organised and ruthless then our sorry bunch
