Hope their fans don't say robins is taking them backwards

Their forum is interesting reading

Stoke's famously patient fans and owners

Both goals out of the managers hands

You'd be livid if that pen was given against us

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Robins will lose games at stoke , the question is wether stoke give him time

I really doubt he'll still be there this time next year. They seem to be getting less patient with managers if anything.

In fairness he chose to go there knowing this , given time I'd fancy him to do a good job there but as you say probably won't get it

Gutted they didn't get Super Frank?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

They have the 5th worst home record in the league

I was being sarcastic as we did a shit performance like Stoke

Apologies

Thing is plenty of other decent managers went there thinking the same and couldn’t do it. It’s a real poisoned chalice of a job.

 

[Evo1883]

2-1

Good game this

Esbrand with the assist

Typical early manager stuff really.

“Talks sense, breath of fresh air” etc
Soon to become “talks bollocks” even though the same thing is being said.
We all do it.

They are picking up though Pompey, not a bad team. Certainly won't get relegated imo.
Derby on the other hand dropping like a stone. Look awful. Got to fancy them to join Plymouth.

Got to fancy derby to keep struggling under Warne

Kinda hoping Luton go with them tbh. I didn't actually resent them beating us in the final as they deserved it on the day.. but now i just really want them to go for some reason

 

[fernandopartridge]

Always remember what a great window Stoke had in the summer of '23, it was lauded on here along with another team. I think they're in League 1 now.

It's a strange move for him to be honest. His style and approach was far better suited to Millwall.

Would mean more of a relocation which is the only reason I can think of why he turned it down. At Stoke you kind of know you're going to be sacked within 12 months as the owners will just get rid unless they can see instant success on the way.

MR jumped back in way too quickly at the wrong club going to Stoke, the whole set up is crap and he won’t be afforded the time he was here

It made zero sense for him to go there other than the fact he lives down the road

And the decent wage to go into his retirement pot.

Is their setup that crap?

Never seen a set of fans less bothered about being promoted to the top flight

They've got decent facilities and have rich owners

 

[Nick]

Exactly. That's what I mean.

It's not like they are playing from a car park.

 

[TomRad85]

They do have some good players too tbf, but it should be better given how much has been spent on it.

 

[Evo1883]

I think they are struggling with transfers though wether it's due to FFP or the need to reduce wages .. not entirely sure

They have been in the Championship since 2018 and have never mounted a serious promotion push once… All these managers they’ve had can’t all be shit

I think we have finished above them every season we've been back in the Championship as well?

Edit, no we didn't in the first one but have every season since

Watching Plymouth getting a tanking from Burnley 4-0 down and should have had a pen against them clear hand ball.

 

[alexccfc99]

5-0 down before half time could you be arsed

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

3-1 pompey

 

[Evo1883]

5-0 down before half time could you be arsed

15 shots to 1

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

5-0 down before half time could you be arsed

Only watching half time in Leeds game'

 

[alexccfc99]

Sky have got Plymouth captain in the studio and as he is currently injured and he’s having to do punditry on his own side being 5-0 down at half time

Awkward

Is he holding up a sign saying "Help I am being detained here against my will"

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Off the Stoke forum tonight - love it !

We can’t get past 849 year old Marlon Pack and a bald ginger c**t.

I hope this ref stands on a landmine as well.

 

[ptr]

Have Burnley not come out second half?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Since they walloped us they seem invincible at home now

The commentators said they haven’t lost there since October.

 

[Matt smith]

They are 5-0 up
