WEBMASTERS REPORT: BRIGHTON 0 - 2 PLYMOUTH, TUE 11MAR 04

 

 

We have this report from the game:

 

We also had a number of chances, and one of the first shots of the game was from Alexis Nicolas, currently on loan from Chelsea, but this was blocked by Steve Adams. After this attempt, Plymouth saw we were looking for an early chance and took charge of the ball. Hodges missed and Adams' shot was blocked. When Plymouth got a free kick from a foul by Cullip, they took their chances but Kuipers stopped the ball from going in. Cullip made an attempt to get the ball away from Plymouth, but just ended up getting it in the top left of our own goal, less than 10 minutes into the game. Everyone was unsure if it even went over the line, but the referee, Hall, gave it anyway with the linesman's help in the decision. It was now up to the team to turn the tables and get the ball into their half - a goal before half time would boost confidence without a doubt ready for the second half.

 

Plymouth didn't give up, and continued to press forward with more shots, this time saved comfortably by Kuipers. We made no real chances to score, with Plymouth having the majority of the shots. Molango was caught offside just before half time, but the first half wasn't over yet!

 

With less than 2 minutes until half time officially started, a foul by Harding resulted in him being sent off, and a penalty awarded to Plymouth. Wotton took it, and you know the rest... The first half ended 2-0 Plymouth, with some fans saying its really 2-0 to the officials!

 

The second half started with the team ready to fight back in a move to the 3-3-3 position. Nathan Jones took the first shot, which had to be punched away by Plymouth keeper Luke McCormick. Plymouths return a few minutes later went straight over the bar without a second chance, with others being cleared by Jones and Mayo, who came on in place of Paul Reid. 

 

Molango pushed back, but with both attempts was caught offside. We were getting closer, and his next attempt was saved by their keeper. If we kept progressing, a desperately needed goal to keep us in the game would be just minutes away. At this point, Robinson was brought on in place of Jarrett, making an immediate impact, only to be added to the list of people caught offside. Tonight wasn't to be out night, and with the last 15 minutes fast approaching, we made no real attempts with Plymouth taking care of the ball. Mayo and Currie were also booked less than two minutes apart, increasing the risk of the team ending up losing another man as Plymouth pushed ahead for another goal.

 

We tried out best to get one back, but the referee was having none of it. Molango was again caught offside and a cross from Mayo results in open play. Robinson was also taking his chance in a last chance effort but his shot was saved. The game ended 2-0 to Plymouth.
