Very enjoyable.
Credit to Leam and the tactical team, they had identified that Plymouth didn’t like balls in the air and exploited it.
Paddy Lane managed to escape a yellow by faking an injury in the second half. Thought the ref was hovering over him to give it but seemed to just forget. Tackle was absolutely worthy of one.
Don’t know who pissed in O’Connor’s pint but he wasn’t a happy man for most of that game. Got pissy at Pereira a couple of times, absolutely lost it at the ref once or twice and was claiming all over Argyle backs.
Both Williams’ and Doyle standouts for me.
Would rather a win but more than that happy to have a decent day out which it hasn’t always been of late.

2,897 away fans, meaning 13,380 home fans today. That's the second highest of the season, behind 14,872 against Rotherham (15,279 total for that game).

It was one of the local school discounts games which always helps a bit

Shame he and the tactical team can't identify how to stop conceding sloppy goals and how to manage a game when we're in front!

Glad to see this opinion, I think these sorts of remarks are what Richardson alluded to in the Q&A session about social media. Pretty sure the younger players read it most and it has an effect on them. There are people on her and especially on Twitter who just won't let is go. By all means if someone has a bad game say it in context, not some of the vitriol I've seen. Often it's lead by people who claim to be long time supporters. People perform better with encouragement, not abuse.

Unfortunately didn’t get to watch but sounds pretty encouraging. Nice to be finally matching and beating good sides on possession stats, shots on target etc
we’ve played pretty well other than the Mansfield horror show against decent sides recently, since hopefully the nadir which was Wycombe which was embarrassing

Agree to a point except Plymouth didn't particularly look like a good side, which surprised me seeing they were on a bit of a run.

I wasn’t overly impressed with Plymouth apparently they score from a lot of set plays.
We seemed to be playing with two defined wingers and looked much better for it.
Lane was ok just not a great deal of end product. Williams was excellent first half.
Dorsett falling asleep twice in the lead up to the goals but we still had to defend- which we did poorly.
I like Plymouth in a strange way. Their fans all joining in the applause on the 13th minute showed a degree of class lacking in the vast majority of away support. (Port Vale being an obvious exception)

Yeh me too

Any ideas what that was about?

Rotherham or this one? Certainly Rotherham was, and it appears to have been yesterday (I didn't see any marketing about it though).

Did Richardson just favour Dorsett for some sort of tactical reason?
He was back in yesterday after missing the past few games and wasn't in the squad at all against Mansfield. Has he had some sort of knock we haven't been told about?
As others have said, it could just be a fitness thing. Yesterday was the first game he's missed since joining us. Wouldn't be surprised if he started at Burton.

Someone said on another thread that Ward was rested for some fitness/injury niggles.
I think Dorsett was just the only real alternative.

Ward's omission was pretty obvious to me. We're playing Saturday-Tuesday consistently at the moment so some players will need minutes managed, and you have to trust the management team to make that call on players. He's obviously still ahead of Dorsett long term.

That’s not injured.

That's a rather simplistic, black and white view. Fitness and injuries are far more complex than injured-not picked and picked-not injured. Players play through injury all the time.
Resting someone with a minor issue to prevent a worse one later is very sensible.

Nonsense Snowflake.

I appreciate this is a bit like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube, but the number 1 thing the players should be doing to help each other is tell them not to have comments enabled on their own social media, and simply not to look at any social media at all, for their own mental health and in all likelihood performance on the pitch.

At least players have the ability to turn off/ignore social media, unfortunately they don't have that option with the abuse hurled at them by their own (supposed) fans every game.
From a spectators point of view, some of the negative comments you overhear while watching the match are really horrible/over-the-top/wrong. (It has become so bad that we purposely mov to a different part of 1871 if we see certain "characters" when we're looking for a seat)
If the younger players hear the stuff shouted at them throughout the length of the match it is bound to affect them and explains why some react the way they do when scoring or at the final whistle

Is it time to decide that 1871 has failed? Seemed a great idea at the time, but our home and away behaviour seems to have got worse, and our pcunt contingent gone right up

Only if you think that C1871 is driving it and removing it would be an improvement. And not just a case that the little shits would behave exactly the same just in Y25/26.

They should be facing 'sanctions' from the club after incidents: increasing the minimum amount of segregation for each game; stopping alcohol sales; etc. They certainly should stop being glorified by the club in their marketing.
It's certainly failed from the point of view of having a peaceful signing section and has lead to too many incidents for the club to continue to be idle about it.

It`s not your decision to make, the away fans give it big when they score and ours give it back, it`s all part of the game since Elm park,it happens at every ground in the country, don`t know why anyone would get offended by it now.

It did its job originally but I think time has moved on etc and it’s not longer fit for the purpose it was. It was great to start off with

Frankly, we're losing potential revenue with C1871 being there as well, as loathe as I would be to hand any potential advantage to opposition fans, we used to give the full stand to away fans and I don't think it really had much bearing on results, only a handful of teams in League One would potentially take that level of allocation though.
Think long-term we should just go back to Y26 being the "vocal area".
