Sounds like we’ve dominated but just can’t get it into the net.

There goalkeeper didn't have a lot to do the blocked and defended really well Clarke probably the pick no creativity

Couple cleared off the line no?

On a night where anything that could go wrong, did, the manager did not help them at all there. A terrible performance

Another very poor performance from a youth team. Completely outplayed and outfought by a less gifted side.

The old saying they wanted it more

….hugely disappointing but my immediate thought is of it being some performance by Plymouth. I’d keep a copy of the match programme and look at it in 3 years time, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a very good player in that Plymouth side.

Yeah all the credit goes to Plymouth a proper team effort

Their full back (Shields?) had an excellent night after looking like he was going to be taken apart by Clarke initially.

The conditions weren't an issue btw. They've played the earlier rounds in worse weather. They just decided to not play a midfield

Did you watch it or just going on comments?

Statistically but not really. (Easy clearing headers.) Graham had what best chances we had and either missed or they were blocked.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

That is a poor result and obviously not having Armstrong was a big difference but to go out with a whimper at home to lower league opposition is not good enough.

That was our downfall , outnumbered in midfield first half , Oliyawola is a talented 15 year old but not a patch yet on what Armstrong would have given .
Then they had 9 behind the ball 2nd half., when I thought we created enough chances to get an equaliser, so I don’t agree with this “ they outplayed us” . People tend to go overboard whenever the youth team lose , we lost to a team who tracked back , defended well and ran their socks off .

I'd say they 'outplayed us' in the sense that (apart from the last 15 minutes) a loose midfield ball either always went to a Plymouth player or to an Everton player who was immediately closed down. And they were very clever playing the ref with that close pressing and their slighter size. Very soft free kicks given all game (and we failed to react to that tactic).

Added: from a more positive point of view, I thought Van Schoor had another decent game.

….neither really. I’ve sat for 90mins looking at the ‘Flash Score’ and popping in and out of here.

I just think it’s some result for them. I’ve played down there myself a bit, they have a fair catchment area with the dock workers so I’d imagine there’s a few linked to that. Coming up here and not being scared to get a result says a lot to me.
