They are 5-0 up

Haven’t scored since half time. Figured that they just couldn’t be arsed to come back out.

Not a fan of Rooney before anyone starts but he was a fool to take that job
He had no chance and only proceeded to soil his reputation even further

He would’ve been far better trying for a decent league 1 club

I always feel Lampard was clever with our job. We’re not a terrible side by any means. It was always a case of getting down to it and moving us back to mid table.

I get the feeling Lampard will do just enough for us to get Sky back on his side, proclaiming he’s back - and he’ll he snapped up by a lower Prem side quickly. I don’t think he’ll be here long enough to be a bad manager

I've a feeling you may be right but as long as he's here and improving us I'm backing him 100%

Got to fancy derby to keep struggling under Warne

Yep. Warne doing what he always did with Rotherham.
Derby still without the funds to buy anything but bargain basement players.
They do have a saleable asset in Cashin who Brighton have been sniffing around and may be worth up to £10m but since Curtis Nelson just been injured they are fucked in that position.
Their fans could just about put up with the anti football whilst they were winning a few but losing 5 in a row now and 1 point off the bottom 3.

Oh don’t get me wrong I’ll back him. Just feel like we’re a job of convenience, I’m not going to pretend Robins was the norm because he isn’t.

Lampard will do a job for us, and we’ll benefit from it

Rubbish way to treat a club that got his career back on track...

Morgan Whittaker: Plymouth Argyle forward 'didn't show up' for Burnley game

Plymouth Argyle forward Morgan Whittaker misses his side's 5-0 loss to touted transfer destination Burnley as he "did not show up" in time.

[Gint11]

On talkSPORT the manager said he just didn’t turn up for training. Red flag that is

 

[Gint11]

By the way, standard in the championship this season is dross, utter dross.

Have to agree.

Like Birmingham?

He would need to do something special this season for that. I think he needs another full season before Prem clubs will take him seriously.

 

[Robinshio]

so 3 points off 9th (which is where we would be now if it wasnt for the Norwich stoppage time collapse)
win on saturday will mean 3 points off 8th -

Things are turning !!

 

[SkyBluePower]

Im not sure- if he got us to top 8 -not even necessarily playoffs, that would be a good points per game tally from him and think he would be attractive to some lower end Prem clubs - may not be fair but he always has a head start

 

[Captain Dart]

I've a feeling you may be right but as long as he's here and improving us I'm backing him 100%

I am sure a succession plan is being put in place but I FL and his team have got a couple of seasons on their contracts, we can all hope he achieves promotion here in that time.

I don’t mean I think it’ll happen this season. But if he gets there or there abouts next season he’ll have admirers.

I really wanted us to go after Cashin instead of Kitching who at the time was valued slightly cheaper than Kitching

Apart from the top 3 (and even Sheffield United didn't look great at the CBS), it does look very average this year.
Most of the teams we've lost to so far looked pretty poor, Leeds being the only side that really took us apart.

Think you only need a bit of a run to challenge the play offs

 

[Hutch11]

Leeds are class
Burnley and Sheff Utd are very efficient the rest are so so

Parachute payments!!

Plymouth have totally botched their handling of him - they've missed out on millions by not selling him last season.

Thought they were fucking dreadful against us, at best a little bit organised at the back but a real poor side

 

[TomRad85]

Was thinking the same. Sometimes the club has to do the smart thing and cash in even though you know the fans are going to kick off regardless. Could argue we should have parted with Sheaf in the summer, his value will be down now.

Depends who was in for Sheaf, but loads would have been in for Whittaker. Dick move on his part to refuse to play though.

In fairness it can be a difficult decision to make without hindsight - I advocated for selling Gyokeres earlier than we did at a time when our finances were screwed and playoffs seemed like a fantasy, which also would have cost us millions. But Plymouth should have been able to tell that the money would be more valuable to them than another season of Whittaker.

Would have had Rooney spending it though.

Boro will break the bank for him

They will be getting a better player than lathe lath imo.

Boro will nail 5th place.

Linked with Burnley for £5 mill.

They won't have to break the bank for him after this. He's completely fucked Plymouth as they now have absolutely no leg to stand on to demand above the odds.

So that's the next thread sorted.

 

[torchomatic]

Morgan Whittaker doing a Dion Dublin and refusing to play for
Plymouth last night is inexcusable. Hate when a player does that to the team that pays their wages.

Whittaker will have ruined his legacy at Argyle, which is a shame.

 

[torchomatic]

Not sure where he's got it from but my lad said Waitford are getting rid of Cleverley.
