Feels like ages since we've last played.

Hope the boys are up for it today.

Hope the boys are up for it today.

So far, so good. Bright start. They've had one good chance, that probably should have been better, but Weir also had a good shot, that was well saved. Doesn't look like a 'top[ish]' v' 'bottom' clash so far.

Camera operator needs a lens hood!

Is anyone else having problems getting commentary on the IFollow feed...

Fine for me. Can you get the away commentary?

Superb save from Ripley! Plymouth getting on top now.

They are starting to cut through now , getting into the box too easily !

No commentary at all...just audio from the crowd...but Connor is having a cracking game so far...but a daft yellow for Shaw...

We are a bit under the cosh now. Got to keep tight at the back. Listening to Argyle commentary, they seem to think they have a divine right to win!
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Defending too deep. Their last attack there were nine Morecambe players in our own penalty area, so if we do get it out, it's coming straight back. Ripley's having a great game thankfully, but you feel it is coming.

[dannymorc1]

Another great save by Ripley. They are on top now. Get to half time level and reset.

[Keith]

After all that pressure, Shaw had a great shot, just wide, with the keeper floundering!

[Born again Bill]

Finally a decent effort , still not covering the left side at all

[Redalert1970]

Started ok but we need half time and quickly

Forest Green and Burton both losing is a bonus

[Keith]

It was a penalty for me

But who cares! Ripley saves another penalty!!!

[dannymorc1]

Silly give away penalty, brilliantly saved by Ripley. What a let off.

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Very clumsy needless penalty to give away. Connor Ripley you genius! We’ve had our moments, who knows it might be our day.

[Keith]

Weir with another good shot right before half time.

We need to change things though, because I can't see us keeping them out for another 45 minutes.

[Redalert1970]

Would have taken 0 - 0 at half time but Plymouth have had 14 attempts (5 on target)

We need to tighten up a lot 2nd half

One bonus we are off the bottom as it stands

CONNOR RIPLEY PLAYER OF THE YEAR ALREADY

[Keith]

We need to tighten up a lot 2nd half

Not sure we can tighten up any more, we let Plymouth play too much of the game in our final third of the pitch, so if we do get clear, the ball just comes straight back. One example, Weir (I think) passed the ball out to Mayor, only about 25 yards from our goal line. He had absolutely nowhere to go, so ended up twisting & turning, back towards our own goal, to try and get time for 'attacking' players to get up the pitch. Being so deep also allows their defence to push up further.

We *might* manage to knick a goal and keep them out, but it's looking much more likely that they'll eventually beat Ripley, with so much pressure. Sometimes attack really is the best form of defence!

We were better in the first 15 minutes when we did attack. We do need to leave a couple players up to keep their defenders back.

[Keith]

Connolly on for Watts
Love on for Cooney

[Keith]

Twice Plymouth could have scored in the first two minutes of the second half! One shot wide and another good save from Ripley.

[Redalert1970]

Plymouth have won 9 / 10 at home this season

They are a very good side

[dannymorc1]

Ripley saves us again. We just can't get hold of the ball!
I'm shouting. COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

ANOTHER chance for Plymouth! 49th minute!
