The Opposition View: Plymouth Argyle vs Oxford

Lessons Learned: Shrewsbury vs Plymouth Argyle
Yes, Ladapo and Taylor may be an exciting proposition in attack, but it will leave a glaring hole elsewhere. As Adams said himself: “it didn’t work”.

Match Analysis: Luton v Plymouth Argyle
To get anything out of the game, Adams had to be aware of his side’s limitations and try to nullify them as much as possible. He did the opposite.
