Fingers crossed it's a disaster, they deserve it.
-
Doesn't that need to be signed up to by the EFL / FA? Which I gather hasn't been agreed yet.
-
Get Dolan out of the door in January then if he's signed up with that snake.
-
I'd much rather just play the better GK. Pears' value would pale in comparison to Wahlstedt's if he's any good.
-
JDT should probably play Buckley then if he thinks so highly of him. He wasn't in the last two Championship squads and has played 1 minute all season.
-
I mean if we can't afford to open the home end ON A MATCH DAY then just fold the club now.

Argyle v Rovers !

The latest Venky drama suggests we're not losing anything like that and they're actually committing fraud. -

There's absolutely no way we offered quadruple his wages. We're currently operating on a shoestring budget - anyone earning decent Championship wages has been shown the door. Gallagher is the last one left. -

Funny that, I think his communication is excellent. He's also literally working with buttons - he's generated a £4m surplus this window out of necessity and still brought in 7 players. I'm not quite sure what people want out of the guy - miracles? -

Is the Europa League stronger than the Championship? -

You missed out Sorba Thomas on your list. Also our model is to rely on the Academy (we do invest about £3m into it each year) - so A. Wharton, Garrett, Leonard and Batty should be on your 'in' as they barely (or didn't) featured last year. It looks like Bloxham and Gilsenan are very close to the first team too. -

Pretty much - we've been very unlucky with injuries to Sigurdsson and Ennis and obviously nearly half of our transfers have only been here a week (or less). Jury is very much out until we see them on the pitch - but people arguing that the squad is weaker / the bench is thin are ignoring the fact that 4 of our 7 were unavailable against Plymouth. -

On this experience point - is the argument that if they don't specifically have Championship experience then they're rubbish? To me it's about talent - there's nothing special about the Championship, it's just a long grind. Several of the players we brought in have played at a significantly higher level than this league. -
Besides being Burnley, I'm so desperate for them to go down (and bust) because of all the celebs / ex-sports stars that have invested and used their 'clout' to promote them.

My mate's a City fan (so obviously we rarely talk about football considering his good fortune) and he said that - "Arteta / Arsenal haven't learned, they're celebrating like they've won the league again". I think he's got a very good point.

Mate, we absolutely battered them. You don't get opposing fans almost universally saying "that was a mugging" in this day and age unless it was blatant. -

I had my head in my hands for their entire counter attack after that Leonard miss. That's my big worry about him - we know his limitations physically (about 5'11", quick enough [but not fast], and very athletic), but I don't know how clinical he is. I really thought we'd get him out on loan this window - especially if Gallagher is preferred to him as a #9. -

One bad game? His positioning cost us a point against Hull. -

To be fair, Rugby League players are a different breed. There's positives and negatives to that. -

The Argyle fans are saying we're the best team they've played this season, for what it's worth. -
