Match Day Thread versus Barnsley

The big question with this one currently is will it be on or not. Have to say it probably isn't any better than 50/50 at the moment with the forecasts there are. I hope it is as I don't want to see Argyle have any congestion from here on in.

Barnsley are the form team in the league at the moment and they certainly have strung a load of good results together. I keep reading other sites that seem to think we on the other hand are having a bit of a slump. Really? I don't go along with the assumption that this game is the last one that is "difficult" just because we are playing teams lower down the chain after this. It possibly is our hardest though. We are still in fine form and doing probably better than most of us thought we would and are showing no signs yet of a collapse into oblivion. We can win this on our day and I am just keeping everything crossed it will be both on and we will win it.

Without being negative I hope, there is quite a strong contrast between our excellent home form and somewhat patchy form away.

Nevertheless, COYG.

 

Only four defeats away....a lot of clubs would go for that.

 

To early for cancellations to be announced yet.....the weather in the north of the country pretty dire at present.....weather very variable around here.....yesterdays snow was washed away with rain and drizzle for most of the day....still drizzly this morning.....but big dollups of slushy type snow trying to fall at present....but isn't settling.

Looking at Barnsley's games to play in March they have three huge home games....starting with Argyle...then they also have Sheff W and Ipswich.....so their fate is firmly in their own hands.

With Barnsley and Argyle both having packed schedules for March and April it would be very hard to fit in a cancelled game if the weather intervenes tomorrow.

 

I meant current form, not the whole season to date:



Mind you, it's still 24 points from 12 games: winning at home and drawing away is supposed to be the promotion formula.

 

10AM inspection tomorrow apparently. I get they have to check but it doesn't do supporters much good if they travel. If you don't go you lose whatever you have paid and they may still play and if you do go you may even get all the way there and it gets called off. Glad I don't do away games.

 

Talk of Barnsley's undersoil heating breaking down overnight ?

 

Reports fron some fans that the game is ON.

 

It seems so.

Half time 0 - 0 . All the other interested in promotion parties are winning as far as I can see. Well the ones who currently matter anyway.

 

0-0...H/T

Argyle doing well.....5 shots to 3......2 corners to nil.

 

Yep none of either sides shots on target yet.

 

Bollox 1 - 0.

 

Guess it had to happen one day this season. All the results today are ones we wouldn't want and not looking like changing for the better either.

 

2 - 0 game over now.

 

Gets worse now 3 - 0. Any chance of a downpour and it being abandoned...........

 

3-0...F/T

Phillips...60mins
Anderson...77mins
Cadden...90+1mins

Didn't deserve to lose by three.
