codge added 22:22 - Dec 29 Does Stephens get an assist for the back pass just wondering. Seriously another win shame we didn’t get the clean sheet but a wins a win.Overall a good result and that’s what counts,The referring was pathetic which seems pretty standard for this league they were robbed on what would of been given with VAR but we have been on the wrong end of that as well so it evens itself out.COYS.

SaintPaulVW added 22:54 - Dec 29 Although it would be great to win these games easily, I am impressed how we dig in and get results. Stats don't lie, we dominated Plymouth but the 2-1 score is also true in that they defended in numbers and the win was hard work. Che had 2 great chances, did the hard work and then couldn't find the finish, the score came from timing his run perfectly to receive a great pass and then hitting the ball while sideways with the wrong side of the wrong foot. Go figure. All of a sudden, we seem to have a lot of options in attack, Edozie again took his man apart. Alcatraz's strike was class. THB hit the post, Aribo almost got a third when he came on. Fraser through on goal went for the wrong option, plus Mara looked good pushed the Plymouth defence around in the short time he was on seems to have got quite sturdy all of a sudden. Arma was full of hard work and almost got a cheeky chip in. Aside from Bazunu's howler, Plymouth never really looked like creating much. Defence handled them well. Edozie made a great tackle to snuff out an attack. Plus Ipswich drop 2 points and Leeds fall 3 more points behind. Quite a satisfactory end to the year. COYR

Bowlercow added 08:52 - Dec 30 Some weary performances in this one Energy levels need to be topped up pretty quick Our squad depth is now coming to the fore andRM is managing it well. Another win to savour especially when added to the Leeds and Ipswich results

Block8 added 10:32 - Dec 30 3 points & pretty much total domination against a team sitting deep, with a five man defence and wasting as much time as possible. Aided by a poor ref who allowed them to get away with it. Their goal may well of been onside but the lino on the Itchen side of the pitch struggled to keep up with play the whole game and had flagged us a few times incorrectly. Shame about the goal that did stand and hope it doesn't affect Baz's confidence as he has been playing well of late. Edozie is beginning to look like the player we want him to be & his ability to go by players in tight spaces fits our style perfectly. Overall another good win, a win as good as the last two home results but missing the goals. COYR

sidsaint added 12:48 - Dec 30 Good win which deserved more goals and a clean sheet. It's good to see the confidence we have in passing the ball around in defence although we and Bazunu paid the price for overdoing it. Good performance and well taken goal by Che, who could have had more. I would be disappointed to see him leave.

Bawdrip added 13:49 - Dec 30 A really good performance. Mixed it up well against a well organised packed defence and got in lots of shots with a fair few on target. Unlucky not to get more. Nervous last few minutes given the gift by Bazunu but we saw it out well. A well deserved win.
