This will be a tough game. What has surprised me is that Plymouth seem to have kept all their best players, unlike the likes of MKD who lost a number of theirs, which is what normally happens when "unfancied" teams in L1 have a good season.
"Slowly this squad and style of play is coming together.
As the first half v Derby showed it's not completely there yet and whatever system a team plays there are 11 other players and another coach trying to undo you."
We can now add the first half at Hillsborough to the slowly getting there column and the second half to the not there yet list.
I also said that the two home games this week would tell us more about where this season is going than the result at Hillsborough and I stand by that.
We will lose games, narrowly as it turned out on Saturday, just as we will win games, slightly fortunate in the case of Derby, and we'll drop points as we did v Stanley.
Stockley was unwell v The Massives. I hope he's feeling better as we still don't have a fit or better alternative.
I am getting to sound like a stuck vinyl record .. this game will say a lot about our current situation after a mixed, indifferent start to the season .. we are playing well up to the edge of the opposition area than we lack finishing .. one more time WE NEED ANOTHER STRIKER and I'd like to see us play 2 up front The midfield is working OK, though Garner still has to find his best combination, defence is again OK and Wollacott is a big upgrade from last season
Plymouth have been good/improving for a few seasons without winning anything. Just like for us, this will be a big test for them. I wonder how many of the 'green army' will make the long trek east on a Tuesday evening
CAFC 2 v Plymouth Argyle 1
Wish you could find someone who thinks we don't need another striker so you could stop arguing with yourself.
‘All signs are that they are doing something good at Charlton at the moment.’
I know oppositions managers tend to stick together, and not throw each other under the bus - at least in pre match interviews. But that’s another neutral footballing person who is praising what we are doing this year.

We are doing a lot of things well.
Bloody Karl Robinson, did he actually say that? Just tried to google and can see him saying ‘things need to change at Charlton’ after they beat us 4 - 0 🤮.

Yup after they beat us 2-1 second game of last season.

Standard bigging the opposition up talk, to reduce pressure on his players. I notice he also said
"They are a good team with good players for this division, probably one of the stronger budgets I'm guessing."

Would take any score for a win but would not be shocked at a 1-1 or Plymouth nick it by the odd goal
One off his shin
One off his arse
Two off his nut
A pen
and a bicycle kick just to take the piss and rub our noses in it!
Indeed. So far, McGrandles has looked as good at playing with his feet as MacGillivray is at coming for crosses.

2 - 1 (Stockley, Innis)
JRS impresses as V949
The match isn't until tomorrow so that might be why

Again, playing the underdog card.
