That was a good watch. FWIW: I’m not sure we played much better than we’ve done recently but getting an early goal and another by the half hour mark made it a more enjoyable watch and was the big difference. It seems a back 4 suits the players, they’ve played far better as individuals in it and far better as a defensive unit. Our defence today put themselves on the line and defended ok but JVS had his best game and but for him we might have lost. No one thought we’d be saying that at 3.00!! ZW played really well and was playing his passing game in the front third of the pitch which made a big difference. And his dead ball Delivery was good esp in the first half and had he kept it up in the second we’d have won by more perhaps! But I’m glad he’s playing, he’s looking a far more committed player now than he did. Luke Mc C was very good. He’s always looking for that forward pass and he works well with ZW as well as he does with Oztumer. Great he got his first league goal. He gets better and better with each match. Upson and Grant are a good pairing in front of the back four and are a big reason for our improvement imo. Hanlan was a handful and kept their defence occupied and allowed the midfielders to have more time and space. Sam N is one of the most skilful players for is over the past 10 years. He was very good today and that piece of skill near the end was wonderful. I thought he was going to dummy a pass to Ayunga and then pass it into the net but he passed! We played with the intention of winning, we played on the front foot and our players now seem to be playing in positions and a system that suited them. But, I don’t like being too critical on a day when we won 3-0..... Alfie K although he played well needs to be aware of those through balls. Sometimes his positional play and his play going backwards isn’t as good as his play when going forwards. But it was great dead ball goal and will give him confidence, a solid 7/10 performance. Our passing is good but on 3/4 occasions we underhit a pass in the middle and we could have been punished for it. Do it elsewhere you get away with it, but do it in the middle and you can be vulnerable. We got away with it because Plymouth’s forwards were pretty poor. They missed two 1on 1s in the first half when they should have scored and another two good chances in the second half. Well done Tis, well done the team. A served win to make a good Saturday night.

Can’t see us keeping Nicholson past January, the guy is class above, think a couple of offers will be coming in It makes you wonder why at the age of 25 he hasn't played at a higher level. He certainly has been a class act since he signed. MLS can be a pretty decent level. istm it's usually compared to the Championship. |

15 goals in our last 5 games that’s good going.
And 5 conceded which isn’t amazing but a massive improvement.

Always believed we had good footballing players that were brought in by the previous manager
Now we've got a proper manager it's looking good for 2021

Aren't there really odd rules regarding signing players from/to MLS teams. Like you pay the league rather than the team? Probably means you can pick up some bargains if players are happy to relocate. Cant imagine our tents would tempt too many away from LA or Miami.... |

I dont understand this competition about starting the match day thread?? is there some joke I'm missing? I cant believe grown assed men can be bickering about it, so I must have missed something... For about the 400th time. What has anyone's age got to do with the enjoyment of something? If you're in a pub and playing spoof do people come over to you and say "I can't believe grown assed men playing an inconsequential game - I'm deliberately going to mess this up to stop you grown men playing that game and don't you dare say anything because you're grown men". You'd think that person was a prick. What's the difference? So what has anyone's age got to do with the fact it's a bit of fun to see who can go on a lucky run when starting the matchday thread? As I've said before it's a bit of fun which is why one person wants to play the bully boy to ruin that tiny bit of harmless fun. Because like the guy in the pub, that person is a prick. No you're right.... But... if I heard these two hyperthetical men in a pub, playing spoof, then, when one of them wins a couple of times the other one throws his toys out of the pram... I would think that was pretty childish |

Great performance today, thoroughly enjoyed watching us playing some good football at long last. Said after recent performances that if I was a player I would be embarrassed, think every player can hold their head up today. More of the same would be nice!
Take nothing away from us, Tuesday game going to be whole different challenge and we will need to step it up again.

Any comments from the Tisdale haters? He has transformed some talented individuals into a proper team in no time, managed by a proper manager. Totally agree Dave.Great to listen to his interviews.Has he brought in his own backroom staff or still with the previous team he inherited? Still the same backroom Staffs, but as you obviously realise a manager with so many games behind him is sure to know his onions. You only have to listen to what he says to appreciate his quality's. |

Yeah I think so or something along those lines. The MLS is quite complicated when it comes to players, they have both domestic and international roster systems, Designated players,Special Discovery players, I think they also have a draft system like the other US Sports where they have an intake of kids from colleges every year. So I guess players like Nicholson will have to make way. |

MLS has a bunch of rules I don't really understand, about all the different ways players are valued. They also have designated players who don't have to conform to their salary cap, which makes for huge wages discrepancies. They also have transparent wages bills, so here's an eg: www.sportekz.com/football/la-galaxy-players-salaries/Javier Hernández getting more than 100 times some of his team mates. |

That just goes to show that you never can tell! If he would have read this forum or some of the Gas Facebook sites before kickoff he would have picked up his kitbag & made his way back to the car park, but all credit to him, he rose to the challenge & put in a great performance. Nice to hear PT in his after match interview say the players gave him a round of applause, deserved & should do his confidence a world of good. |
