v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 15/2/2025

[moerpho]

Ribeiro got MotM at stadium. Hard to disagree. Been brilliant today. Dolan 2nd half a good number two

[waynerovers]

Unlucky there, good save.

Early days but the recruitment in January does seem to have hit the mark!! Albeit we spent less than we should and a lot of short term deals

I thought in terms of quality and quantity it was about right - it was just about 30 days too late and obviously it's all short term. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Ahhh, Gueye just misses out on the perfect ending to the game there. 

[roverandout]

Coventry score a late winner bastards 

[waynerovers]

What a bellend, get off the pitch.

[neophox]

[Cherry Blue]

Magnificent support from fans

That should hopefully be it. Big three points!

I really like the look of Kargbo and Ribiero. Very shrewd signings.

Recruitment this year has generally been very good (Gueye, Ohashi, Wieman, Baath all performed well). Im curious given the chaos behind the scenes how thats happened.

Even Forshaw who seemed a real desperate signing has worked out very well for minimal money.

If we are being cynical…

Do we have to pay more for Dennis when he makes a league appearance? Is that why we might be less likely to see him late on in games where the result is decided…

Not so subtle digs at John Eustace from Warren Lucy on Rovers TV

Media and content officer. So no agenda there then.

[neophox]

Kargbo miles better than Hedges!!! Great win! Eustace and JDT could not beat Plymouth but Magic Lowe could!

[Exiled_Rover]

This is the best ref we've had all season. 

No idea who he is, but he's had the game under control - no silly bookings, no petulance from the players and not buying any play acting.

Saw that, they can fuck off🤣 all we can do is worry about ourselves. Hopefully Millwall grab a winner or keep it the same. Results have been pretty good for us so far

[Polky]

Was that Chaddy on the pitch?

Listening to Argyle commentary and then they said Eustace was at Derby hiding in an executive box, whilst he was still our manager!

Read that somewhere yesterday - not sure if it was on the Derby site, BBC or another news outlet (Guardian??). It was phrased as "wanting to feel the buzz of Pride Park without causing a fuss as the deals weren't signed and sealed" (paraphrasing as i can't find the article again

So we're paying him £20k a week to sit on the bench? That would be very Venky's Rovers. 

[DE.]

Great result against a team who were starting to pick up momentum. Unfortunately for them, so are we!

Big decision to make - do we have faith in the remaining backroom staff and squad to get us over the line, or appoint an external manager for what remains of the season? It was a much easier answer before we won two on the spin without conceding. Good performances in both as well, and the list of external candidates is uninspiring to say the least.

It's only two games, granted, but can't deny we look like we're getting on a roll, and momentum is vitally important at this stage of the season. If the current team know how to carry on what Eustace had implemented, do we leave it be rather than bring in a potential disruption? 

My head says stop being stupid, we obviously need a proper manager in situ, but at the same time...

 

[wilsdenrover]

4 point cushion 

[Forever Blue]

Fantastic win.
 

All aboard Pep Guardiolowe’s Promotion Express. 

[wilba23]

That kargbo assist for dolans goal was lovely! Only disappointment was not seeing Dennis get some minutes

[neophox]

Weve made Stoke a favour with Lewis Baker whos on fire for Stoke today.

[AspRover]

That feels like an important win

[Tom]

Great win and great to see other players chipping in with goals and impacting games 

Still wouldn’t be giving the job to Lowe for the season
