Opportunity missed there to get out of relegation zone A few things didn’t quite work there tonight Looked like our old selfs at times But we’re slowing climbing out of trouble
Out for a Xmas Do and whilst loosely following the game via the Beeb, it sounds like a frustrating evening. The last 10 minutes I saw had lots of crosses and headers by Dykes, but no end product. (Have they been told not to take the ball to the goal-line these days, and instead cross from the edge of the box?) If anything proves we need another striker - this was it!

Tonight we saw the limitations of our squad. Kelman was a surprise starter and never really offered a lot. Taylor Richards came on and did nothing. Against 10 men we should be creating better chances but the Plymouth second string goalie was never really troubled and their defence soaked up anything we had to offer.
Marti will have seen tonight that whilst we desperately need a goal scorer we also need somebody that when we get into that final third has the ability to play a killer pass. Tonight we got to the 18 yard line and lacked any creative ideas. It's fine playing the ball backwards and sideways to keep possession but there has to be some end product.
Our poorest display under Marti Cifuentes I had a bad feeling about this game and i wasn’t proven wrong We can’t moan too much we are only a point from being out of the relegation zone we are within reach of a few teams now It’s not all doom and gloom by any means,we maybe have got a bit greedy expecting 4 wins in a row after we could barely scrape one win together a few months ago

It was disappointing not to be able to get a win playing against 10 men for so long
BUT
There are positives. Defensively our numbers have improved so much that we have a much more solid foundation to build on.
We've kept 3 consecutive clean sheets for the first time in FIVE years.
Cifuentes has already overseen as many clean sheets as Ainsworth in 21 matches less.
We are improving, just tonight we didn't have enough guile and cutting edge but playing against 10 men is not easy. We are still moving in the right direction.
I know it’s hard to feel over the moon with a 0-0 But we’re only 6 points now of 14th place not 8 points adrift in 3rd bottom, only 1 win should get us of the bottom 3 now Marti has done a superb job so far with a limited squad and he’s only lost once since he’s been here From where we were with ainsworth,I will take this all day long Keep the faith because we have a good manager right now who’s trying to get out of trouble and where we should be
