Uh, he played on Tuesday

I've spoiled the whole thing with a mistake on the last word! So close, yet so far from perfection.

I did mean Saturday 😊

Only 30 posts so far going to be a dynamic thread!

Oh and Bairstow out first ball in the England chase

I didn't know the clocks had changed in the UK so the time difference is only 6hrs instead of 7hrs this week. So I'm up an hour early for no good reason

I can't boost the post count Al but I can't guarantee it'll be interesting 😂

1. Result and Boro goal scorers?

A nice 2-0 away win, with Crooks and Rogers on the scoresheet 

 

2: Your chosen 11? Why?

I cant be bothered. Why? Because I'm a lazy bones. 

 

3: Name 3 random facts about Plymouth 

1. If you look carefully. It has the word mouth in it.  

2. If you look carefully, it also has the word ply in it. 

3. Plymouth Argyle FC is an anagram of "Comfy gull therapy". 

 

4: How badly did we miss Hackney v Stoke?

Pretty. Although the whole team was a bit flat, so not saying we would have automatically won if he was there.

I think id like to see Dijksteel start this one, we all know he links up well with Jones and Crooks and had a decent game on Tuesday. Couple of decent runs, played a lovely ball through for Lath and managed to get forward and got a shot off. VDB hasn't done much wrong but he's not a fullback. 

Engel or Bangura is toss of a coin for me, Engel looks like a more technical player, seems more comfortable with his passing but Bangura is definitely a better athlete, could come in useful against Whittaker who is their main threat playing off the right. 

Id like to see Lath start also as I think he is just more of a threat, for all Coburns good work, he hasn't been threatening to score much recently. I do think Coburn will start though. 

Contrary to Teacider I would be quite disappointed if we don't come away with the 3 points. They are down there for a reason, and but for a win against a hapless Sheff Wed they've struggled recently. An away point is never a bad one, but we really should be beating these today if we want to push on. 

Injuries included we should have enough id hope, fatigue shouldn't really be a factor, there is only Jones, Fry and Mcnair who have featured right through the last few weeks, everybody else has been rotated and rested one way or another. 

Think LL and Rogers are due a start in the league but can't argue too much with that side

I'd have started Dijksteel over VDB.

Strongest possible XI, can't argue with that

Not surprising, Carrick likes to give his players a chance to redeem themselves. Fail to win here and I think he makes some changes for the next game

Only question mark would be Howson/Barlaser, but it's a coin toss really

Not sure about Howson coming back into the side he has looked well off the pace lately

Yeah, I'd have been tempted to start Barlaser but Howson was always coming back into the side in all honesty, Carrick loves him

Howson back in ffs

carrick is loyal to his players, that is a good thing but also a bad thing, when clearly dijksteel is better than rvb and rogers better than greenwood recently. we would be better with them in the side atm but its still good because all the players who get in the team will know they wont be taken out once established.
