If we start conceding headed goals regularly with balls into the box with this new centre back partnership, then I might start thinking about changes. But I think there’s a few things bring missed by those clamouring for Forino to be dropped:

- It’s one game into the season with a new CB partnership 

- If Forino isn’t stopping that goal, then  Johnston isn’t either.

- Sometimes you just have to give credit to the goal. That ball in was superb. Plenty of very good centre backs wouldn’t have done much better.

 

The three of Toal, Johnston and Forino are much of a muchness. Very little between them. I don't think it's about which 2 of that 3 will play. I think it's more a case of who can come in and improve it

No point going direct to a #9 if we don't have a #10 picking up the bits

Are we writing Forrester off now ?    Thought his performance at Huddersfield was probably one of the best in the past couple of seasons.  If he is still with us 1st Sept then surely he provides a problem for ss.

I'd forgotten about him. But he can also be discounted, as he's out injured <shock>

Anybody screaming for changes is a bit of a tit

aye, unless it's tactical, stick with same team, certainly no need to change 4 players

save the changes for Sheff Weds next week

I do think there'll be adjustments for Home games, but I also think SS will be fairly cautious for Argyle as he will not want to lose. I'd possibly expect Gale to come in for CMG

For clarity, he could change 6, i dont care

Just the FM gurus saying do this, do that as though anybody would listen to the vacuous twats

Persisting with McAtee when he's offering nothing would be odd. Especially with a direct competitor for his role available in Randall.

it's hardly persisting with someone going into the second game

dropping him one game into the season would also be odd, given they've spent the whole summer preparing

give him a home game at least where the dynamic and space he will have will be totally different to what we saw at the weekend

then start Randall there in the cup

I was thinking about all the friendlies where I've not seen him doing much tbh.

Think when he gets the chance Randall will earn his spot as the "10" easy to forget he played his best football in the same role/formation we're going with under SS in the same setup for Peterborough with pace either side of him being Mason-Clarke/Poku/Jade-Jones/Mothersille & is just a lot more suited to knitting things together from midfield into the final third than McAtee. Lad deserves a proper chance, came in during a circus & didn't really have nobody to play off as everybody wanted to do the same thing dropping deep into the same area. McAtee flourished in a 5-3-2 as a support striker for Cole/Cosgrove, three midfield bodies behind him at Barnsley where as in this system there's obviously only two which means he has to use the ball way better he's going to have to learn the role properly if he's going to play there.

I’ve still to see Inwood do anything wrong, yet no one mentions him. Let’s test our full squad out, if we’re still making the same mistakes.

And she isn’t going now because the seat is next to him; pickpocket lover

Should hopefully be decent atmosphere with over 20k sold so far incl 1500 from Plymouth (superb as always).  3pm KO always helps.

Our record so far against teams expected to finish top 6 whiffs of the IE era 

I'm looking for evidence from SS we have moved on 

So yes, a win against a team expected to finish top 6 is a must

Post was tongue in cheek, but have to agree, First half Blossoms County we looked better.

fingers crossed.

I believe that was his best position at Exeter too, that got him the P'boro move.
