Ange

[Plymouth red]

1. He is too wedded to an approach that stunk out the joint last season. We got to where we are by playing to the strengths of players we had, not seeking to adapt players to fit into a system that doesn't work. That said, he has been handicapped by the timing of his appointment. No pre-season and huge disruption to the squad due to a departing manager and lots of new signings needing to be integrated into the squad. Team spirit looks a shell of last season and that is a big problem and has been since brentford. That is not anges fault but he's got to sort it out.

On the other hand we should not have lost tonight. We should have been out of sight against Betis and Swansea. We had a few good chances to win against Burnley. In a parallel universe we have 6 points, are in the next round of the league cup and have a statement win against Betis in Europe. Poor finishing, some good goalkeeping and some individual mistakes have cost us dearly (looking at you zinchenko). Their goal tonight was off the back of some questionable refereeing.

2) well he needs a win and quickly, both in Europe and the league. If we don't win before the international break then I wonder whether Marinakis' can stomach a relegation battle after all that spending.
