Ho Hum, Time to start a new thread methinks!! Haha .......... We played appallingly. We missed a couple of good chances & Smith hit the inside of the post but to be fair & Timar was lukcy to be not sent off after his barge on Lee having already been booked. Argyle deserved the win once they realised we had all the punch of a toothless tiger.Halmosi curled on onto the bar & Norris missed a sitter. I have been saying all season we are not playing well especially at home & now the chickens are coming home to roost. Boothroyd instead of bleating on about Bangura ought to realise something has been seriously wrong for several weeks now. He still persists in playing aimless football. How Stewart & Williamson take the setpieces is a mystery. With Young or Johnson delivery was accurate & dangerous which led to many goals but these two fools would be shamed by street kids in South America on ability. Mahon has gone but where is Rinaldi to replace Williamson. Rinaldi has excellent passing & set piece delivery remember the goal laid on for Prisking against Manchester City last season ? He is a tenacious tackler a cheaper version of Elano & yet is nowhere to be seen. Jackson is a waste of space. An OAP could outrun him why he was signed & Carlisle released is another of ABS cockups. Hes being found out as a typical prototypical English manager. No tactical aptitude or ability o institute passing football. Argyle played 10 behind the ball & if you dont have good passing to create space lumping the ball into two large centre backs ie Timar is not going to win you games. King must be frustrated.He was not fully fit yesterday either & yet outshone Priskin. Priskin needs to buck up his attitude too as he has fantastic ability but rarely shows it but then again lumping the ball up to him is not going to help. He needs the ball into feet. O'Toole has been the only bright spark to emerge recently & yet missed a simple chance yesterday to put us 1-0 up & perhaps instil some confidence. ABs substitutions were mystifying. I'm sure Sturrock would have been happy to see Ainsworth not come out for the second half. He looked a touch nervous early on but soon settled & showed some excellent trickery (needs to work on delivery) & was our main threat with Smith but then gets hauled off to switch Smith to right wing & Williamson to left. Williamson is bad in midfield at wings hes useless. AB honeymoon period is long over now. I'm getting annoyed asare many Hornets by his inexlicable decisions & his persistence with certain players. He has made some terrible choices in transfers in & out which we all highlighted ie Carlisle being released & Ellington being signed far more than any manager on average. Does he actually work on corner routines ie a playbook instead of the aimless lumping in of the ball (if we are lucky it clears the first defender) or on free kick routines or on maybe implementing 3-5-2 at home to give more width & attacking options at home ? No sign of it from this clueless idiot. How he was being touted for the u21 role & even as a potential future England manager is mystery. Its a terrible division in footballing quality.Argyle are no great shakes t be honest but at least they had a plan stuck to it. Our team just looked like they had met each other. And with Lee as MOTM you can quite clearly see where we are at present. Its a simple game football. Pass & move pass & move. Too simple for the likes of AB apparently to understand. What a load of rubbish. Any decent home form & we would be in the clear.As it is we will be lucky to snatch a playoff spot.

Back top but how lucky to be so. Wednesday are a dreadful team .Absolutely dire. Yet had they better finishing today they could have stuck three past us today & won the game. We were shocking again. Aside from a little bright start from Ellington & solid performances once again from Smudger & O'Toole nothing to write home about. We did not create much & then were quite content to sit back in the second half by & large. When we did have posession we were clueless with it especially at the end when a decent team plays posession football our muppets at the back were aimlessly hoofing it back to Wednesday. Mind you they were lucky.Whelan elbowed Demerit & should have been sent off. An awful game between two awful teams. It shows the paucity of quality in this league when we are top. So much for the football revolution at the Vic. Overcritical ? You have to improve in every department & this just isn't good enough. The transfer windown can't come soon enough & some lazy pillocks ought to be removed forthwith.

Watford set to be unchanged for todays ridiculously early kick off with Cardiff.
Given our indifferent home form I expect a draw despite the Bluebirds having several players missing with injury & Chris Gunter unlikely to feature having agreed his move to Tottenham.

Given our indifferent home form I expect a draw Spot on Ummm........... we were extremely fortunate to get a draw. Same old routine. Inability to pass water. The Rookery was cheering sarcastically when we strung more than three passes together & collectively mystified when O'Toole was replaced by Williamson whilst Francis was left on. McAnuff scored late on many of us though cheering wildly with relief more than anything else must be wondering why we were celebrating. Had Cardiff Marlon King they should have been three or four up by halftime. Embarassing to see our players chasing shadows. King & Ellington had hardly any service. How can AB not see this ? When will Rinaldi get a game ? Stewart has to be the worst footballer I have ever seen. No skill at all & yet still takes the set pieces. AB you are useless.
