Hmmm, neither Young nor Richards can be anything over 5'9", so we wouldn't be winning any aerial battles. That said, given the football we're playing and the fact that Dorch were like Land of the Giants and we didn't once look uncomfortable suggests that perhaps that won't be an issue.

agree hockley and russell wernt tall but we didnt do too bad then. Will be interesting to see what happens with Poku who missed the T&D game with a knee infection. He may be another option as we do need two midfield players. Also hes a tough tackling type just what we need next to Young

But then, the words of wisdom from the Argyle fans was not to play Young in a midfield two.

So perhaps if Ben Harding can force himself back into the reckoning, that would be the like of height in the midfield sorted?

We're trusting Argyle fans now? Better get Van Gaal on the phone to sign **** useless, diving, talentless Tyler Harvey then.

I must have missed something yesterday. I watched the game and afraid to say I saw a side that lacked invention and despite the score lacked a finisher.

I get we are where we are because we deserve to be but I fear we have taken a big step backwards. There were some encouraging signs in defence and with Seabright, tested little as it was. Dorchester had two free kicks from some way out that deserved goals in their quality that didn't due to Seabright.

My concern was even with the quality of the opposition, not TQY's fault, we struggled to invent any original "training ground" moves that confused the opposition to enable balls into the box. Maybe expecting too much to soon but I hope this is the start of CH's long term plan not the outfit people expect to bounce straight back up.

I don't think there are very many that expect us to bounce straight back up.

Don't suppose anyone has the times of our three goals on Saturday?
The official site is sadly lacking in any stats.

I'd guess at 55, 70 and 80, but that could be inaccurate by a significant margin. They were all certainly second half.

I was posting pretty much as soon as things happened, so check the times of those and accept that A. I didn't report the first goal and B. We kicked off the second half 5 minutes or so late.

Haha!
Cheers Matt.
I was aware of 'A' but not 'B'.
Still hoping the club might update their news on the game...
