v Plymouth Argyle (a) - 5/10/2024

I'm sorry buy carter is absolute shite

[Hasta]

Why the fuck are we playing a centre half at right back again. Carter backs off 15 yards then gets nowhere near cutting out the cross.

[Old Codger]

One attack, one goal against. WTF??

[booth]

Dingle reject scores.

Good play from Plymouth but a bit of luck to retain possession in the first place.

Rovers passing too scrappy and laid back. Pass it backwards, pass it backwards. Uninspiring dogshit play.

[booth]

It didn't take long for opposition managers to work out that Waggott almost entirely neglected the defence.

[Devon Rover]

It's no surprise, is it. Needed significant statement changes after midweek and we got none of the right ones, except Gueye in. I saw the line up and my hopes were destroyed.

[moerpho]

Just waiting for the second now. At the moment we are horrible in defense

[roversinmyblood]

Talk about against the run of play!!

[Old Codger]

We are making these look like worldies.

GET A GRIP ROVERS..

[Forever Blue]

No surprise, as the more knowledgeable posters advised Plymouth have some very good attackers. We can only dream of having the quality of their front 3. Their scorer cost  Burnley £4m.

That goal was far far too easy

For all Gueyes 'chaos' he allegedly causes,a non scoring centre forward is no fookin good to us.

[Dreams of 1995]

Dolan again having a pathetic game. Always in the back foot, terrible touch, no creativity at all

And no surprise where the goal came from. Both full backs out of position

We look poor at the moment 

[K-Hod]

Eustace: ‘keep it tight first 20 minutes, don’t concede a goal’.

Rovers: ‘Leroy Jenkins!’

[booth]

Pickering is so slow, it makes a big difference when you're trying to break up their play. He just can't keep up.

Carter is fine when he's not forced out wide. 

Another game where we cannot defend. I got mass downvoted in the PNE game for saying both them and the Dingles will finish above us but I stand by it. We look atrocious at present and I think that we will be glad we started well come the end of the season. 

Dolan should have been sold the second he refused to sign a contract.

Yeah, skillful and pacey attackers against what is a dreadful defence. Honestly can't believe virtually the same line up (and identical GK and defence) as the horror show against Coventry. The manager has set us up for this and I only hope I'm made to look wrong in an hour or so. I suspect it's going to take a big change if personnel soon, to have a chance.

He backs off because he's a cb playing at right back.

A cb in that position needs to back off, a right back needs to go tighter.

Beck is a massive miss - Pickering is incredibly mediocre at the moment. Wingers are getting infront of him for crosses all the time.

[G Somerset Rover]

I/we really need to start betting on the obvious ex-Dingle players scoring against us. Happens every single time.

Why the hell hasn’t Eustace set us up with a different defensive approach / personnel given the obvious mauling their two wide lads were gonna give us. So bloody obvious yet he decided to give Carter and Pickering another crack at the whip.

Our general lack of pace is glaring. 

[London blue]

3 capable right backs and we're playing our best CB there after he got roasted last game.

Nice work Eustace.

For the hundredth window in a row. Why ONE manager / DoF / whoever hasn’t felt the need to address it for years is just plain infuriating.

Yep, we've been crying out for it for years and they continue to neglect it.
