rather pleased I couldn't make the 700 mile round trip ! ..... GOAL SCORER required .. but every Addick fan and I hope every Addick 'official' already knows that
Could be a blessing in disguise this result. Didn't think we played terribly at all but it confirms that we 100% need a first choice striker with Josh acting as the number 2.
Should've been about 3/4 up by halftime which is the biggest worry.
I know needs must but we saw last season bringing back an unfit Josh does nobody any favours. At best have him on the bench. This week we have to bring in a goal scorer.
On train. Pretty but too deep and lacking cutting edge. That's it really. Dominated possession but can't say we ever looked overly threatening. Not many teams will have more possession than us but we succumbed to obvious league one strengths. We're we unlucky ? No not really. We're Plymouth? A bit I think. Gutted but reality check big time. Fans fantastic as ever.
If you have a favoured system, make sure you have the players to play it. A fully fit Magennis may have been ok, but when not fully fit and no other options, you go to plan B. I alluded to this in the preview but knew he wouldn't. I like KR, but he does lack flexibility. He needs to bring in a couple of players that will make his system work. Problem is, we always need 2-3 players. If Magennis was not fully fit - and I think it is likely he wasn't - it is a disgrace playing him on a 2nd League game - how are we going to manage through the season if we have to do that in the second game?
This is the sort of thing that has only been an issue under the current owner!
To be fair to big Mag - unlikely he was fully fit! Probably only 70% but only player who can play KRs preferred system.
Perhaps. I don't think it helped him that Holmes final ball was dreadful today.
Holmes looked good apart from that, pity as that could have made the difference had he got that right.
We should had a free kick on the edge of the argyle box immediately before their second. I think that some of the players were shocked we didn't get it. We might have got a point IF the ref had done his job properly
Can't blame the ref for the defeat though. Pity, I was looking forward to this match after reading of the rave reviews of the previous matches this season.

Second half, we looked a bit toothless, knocking it about well but with no penetration. Very weak looking bench too
Bit worried about our lack of height, opposition will target our full backs aerially
Was impressed with f.caskey. very unimpressed with big Mag.

If we do, we should be in the promotion hunt and if we don't we'll probably end up mid table.
Who the f*ck and I kidding lol
