So sad to see such an inept performance by Plymouth Argyle in their 1-1 draw at home to Queens Park Rangers last night.
IMHO, on last night’s evidence they are nailed-on certainties for relegation.
Which is all very sad after just one season back in the Championship.
The more so as they are now unrecognisable from the team that looked so impressive before it all went belly-up after their manager, Steven Schumacher, moved on to supposedly better things with Stoke City.
And talking of “unrecognisable,” it struck me that there is one blindingly obvious way in which Argyle players could quite literally stand out more.
With their all dark green strip, they must be the least visible team in their division. Against the similarly green backdrop of the Home Park turf, they are anything but high viz.
In stark contrast, the QPR players, in their bright white and blue strip, shone like beacons.
It’s not exactly rocket science, is it? With a brighter strip, footballers can’t fail to stand out more, being more easily spotted and found with crucial passes, in defence and attack – with split seconds potentially making all the difference in a fast-moving match.
It’s too late for this season, obviously, but a change, say, to at least white shorts could be a real “assist” in Argyle’s bid for a quick return to the higher league.
