LCFC 2-0 Plymouth, FT thread

[Buzzell]

PISS THE LEAGUE!

[StanSP]

Comfortable. 

 

Page, Thomas, Souttar, Braybrooke, Alves, Joseph all very good. 

 

Surrendered a but more possession 2nd half but barring their shot that hit the post I don't recall there being anything threatening. Some of the passing is still dodgy but that was more from the older players. 

 

The youngsters seem to be embracing it. 

 

Feels good to win at home again, and seeing the youngsters flourish. 

[WigstonWanderer]

Thought Souttar did well today. Looked more committed.

Great result but my god what was the point in the subs in 50+ minute, completely changed the game for the worse. .

And what is the point in bobby? 

Trouble is we are not going to get anymore reinforcements 

[Rubbersoul]

Shock horror that the youth lads look the most impressive then you have the likes of Reid & Cullen.. 

 

 

[EnglishOxide]

HMS PissTheLeague is back in business. 

[TheMightyFox]

I thought Bristic was decent tonight and his first touch for the 2nd goal shouldn’t go under the radar.
 

dont understand why he was taken off. 

[Jimbo1987]

The usual negative bunch will be out in full force. How are Burns, Cullen, BCR who we need to perform going to improve without minutes? He made a brave call at 2-0 but I think RM and his back room staff may genuinely be the best thing to happen to this club in a long time. 

 

We dominated the game.

It isn't just sideways passing - we are so much more positive. 

We won!!!!!!

We actually showed a bit of fight when we were under pressure. Bodies on the line, McFarlane fist pumps. 

 

What more do you want? We are playing some superb football, yes there are errors and unforced mistakes but it's actually worth watching for once. 

 

Fair play RM and fair play Leicester. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Weren't people on here tipping Plymouth to be up there this season? Utter dross.

[StanSP]

Probably doing Mccarthy a bit of a disservice there actually. Barring his passing some of the saves he made looked pretty good. 

 

He'll be aching in the morning stretching like he did tonight at his age

 

[LVFox]

Starting to click - still need to be show more ruthlessness up top.

 

Braybrooke and Page are an incredible midfield two. Staff at the academy should be super proud 

[FoxesWalk]

Performances against Ipswich, MK Dons and tonight have been steady, bordering on promising, if we can tidy up a bit at the back it looks like we could have something going, especially in the midfield areas with Page and Braybrooke pulling strings 

[Sammytielemans8]

So nice to go down the KP and see a work ethic and a bit of bloody bite. 
 

long may it continue. Cmon the foxes!

I assume his lack of pre season, he’s  not  played more than an hour since he arrived I think

Would have drawn if it wasnt for McCarthy.

 

Would have been 5 up if it wasnt for Bobby Reid. 

 

Weird one 

This is so bang on

 

[kingfox]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Luke Thomas gets an England call-up this month.

[Fightforever]

Everyone bar Cullen did good things. BDCR missed a few but at least he's getting into the positions. Braybrooke did everything right but the final ball needs to be more decisive. Alves and Page amazing, likewise McCarthy. Can see the potential here though. Souttar I respect a lot to come down to league 1 and decide you'll do your all and try to rebuild your career which is very respect worthy and he did very well. 

A concern I do have though is despite the obvious skill our midfield looks lightweight. There'll be games we lose just because the opposing team just kicks the shit out of us. Regardless though great game.

Having Reid and Cullen on the pitch at the same time felt really dangerous.

 

Both struggling to make an impact and both as muscular in the challenge as a girl guide, both prone to lose the ball.

 

We have a load of young Academy products and young loanees, and we really need some experience and steel in there.

 

So far, neither Reid nor Cullen seem to be what we need.

1 point outside the play offs 👀

Promotion incoming

Liam Cullen won that one for us. 
 

What a man. Leader. 

[tinpot_fox]

Great results

some great player performances 

but, 5 points from 12 is not good enough for promotion. Win the next 2 games with similar performances and we can push for promotion.

 

play the outstanding academy players we have, but protect them.

 

probably need to scout some players ready for the January transfer window as we may have players leaving if they carry on playing this well.
 

Souttar may end up staying if he believes in the project and doesn’t think he’ll get a fast track to the premier league/ European competition somewhere else.

[The Doctor]

Nearly threw it away at the end and honestly I think there's still big questions on Russell Martins game management, not one set of subs he's made in any game that you'd say improved us, the double sub to bring on Cullen and Burns basically ended us as an attacking force. Wins a win and I'm astounded to see Thomas starting to look like a reasonable centre half (although he struggled with the big lad they brought on in 1 on 1 battles), but I'm far from convinced with a number of the senior players, the signings made or the managers in game ability.

He was excellent again tonight. Maybe that's his best position.

[filberto]

Some terrifying moments at the back but some great football. A work in progress. Page and Braybrooke tremendous but a word also for Luke Thomas. Probably found his level but he’s been excellent the last 2 games

Frankly the entire team lacks muscle, granted that's the risk you take on when you play a bunch of academy kids. I can see why we keep playing possession football and hiring managers for it, I can't see these being physical enough to do much else.
