Match Thread Coventry City - Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Thursday 26th Dec (74 Viewers)

[Shannerz]

Derby looked terrible against us and scored 2 goals with 1 shot on target

They looked very limited, but organised.

Sure but being poor 1 game means very little to how they are in general , they are now above us as it stands

People put way too much emphasis on one game

You can be utter shit one game but fomlow it up with 2-3 good games which is good enough overall

Yes watching derby v albion they seem pretty well drilled and are far better than Plymouth

 

[PVA]

I can't say that this would inspire much confidence

Wayne Rooney: We have tried so many things but it isn't working!

Wayne Rooney reflects on another disappointing away result to Coventry City where his Plymouth Argyle side lost 4-0.

That's a man who knows he's about to be sacked.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That's a man who knows he's about to be sacked.

Perhaps Mike Phelan was brought in to replace him rather than assist?

 

[stupot07]

Yet I remember some poster saying rather Rooney than lampard

Pretty sure that wasn't me. I do remember saying I preferred RVN as he had done his apprenticeship as a coach and assistant unlike Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard, who bypassed that and went straight into management.

He should do the honorable thing and resign, he's just not cut out to be a manager of a football team.

He could always work for Sky on Soccer Saturday.

No it wasn't you.

Lamps has had 3 jobs under this belt so experience ain't an issue for us now

 

[SBT]

Rooney’s had four jobs!

 

[stupot07]

My issue with Lampard was that his last couple of jobs were failures. He's here now so I'm fully behind him

His last thing was failure. Segment can be made for keeping Everton up

But like you said he's cov manager now. If he fucked up by all means have a go. But so far so good. Most people loved robins and they have to admit lampard has started well

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

They will be relegated and that should put an end to Rooney’s hopeless managerial career. They seemed badly organised and even after being caught out tried to pass out from the back, we definitely press better from the front under Lampard.

 

[skybluegod]

Thought the team looked at ease throughout. Defence clearly fired up although ended up not being tested. Midfield excellent, sheafs best performance against easy opposition.

Eccles first finish was excellent and EMC is going to be a beast.

Awful opposition of course, so can't get too far ahead ourselves need to build on it now.

Thought the referee was very good today, missed the penalty decision but overall very very assured performance.

Here it is!

I cannot understand why he chooses Championship clubs as the manager, I think it is lack of brainpower, he should have served an apprenticeship as an assistant manager to a seasoned and capable manager to a decent league one club before going on to be a manager. He is currently Plymouth's problem, the guy in charge of them can't be all that smart given Rooney's record last season.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Worst side I've seen this season , can't see Rooney lasting much longer.

Was saying earlier at the game I think he’ll be gone before Jan window opens! Although it is quite tight down the bottom so a few wins does lift you out the bottom 3

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Btw what a ball this was from Eccles. Thought he was offside when I first saw it.

Can they afford to sack him as no doubt some dumb dumb gave him a long contract

It was quality. Two goals and great assist. Good to see him back

 

[Ring Of Steel]

It’s weird how you so desperately push this narrative- you are by some distance the most negative & pessimistic of all. Strange.

Here it is!

Great coverage from Jimmy Savilles BBC

 

[Boicey]

Their keeper was frighteningly like Collins.
Looked like him. Poor positioning. Weak hands. Couldn't stop anything on target.

Let's hope that nonsense is behind us now.

 

[pusbccfc]

Eccles has a lot of ability, but I feel he still lacks the confidence in himself. A very rounded player who's solid at everything.

 

[skybluetony176]

I don’t think you can overstate what a great performance that was of the back of such a poor defeat. Only disappointment was not scoring second half but we kept a clean sheet so you can’t have everything. Roll on Sunday.

I think a few people could put it down to be fair...oh wait I'm cbeing nasty lol

 

[Grendel]

Sheffield Wednesday have the 5th best championship record of 2024 I believe and are 4 points off 6th currently, Derby will go above us as they're beating west brom 1-0

Not exactly helping your agenda given they haven’t had £45 million to spend

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Was just watching the highlights, how was that not a pen when they Plymouth player took out both of Eccles legs for a blatant pen .

 

[Evo1883]

We finished 5th having spent very little , the point I'm making is that Wednesday and Derby are both doing much better than you keep giving them credit for , we got smashed 4-1 last week by a team in 20th

 

[Otis]

Let's be honest if robins was in charge no one would be talking about how shit Plymouth were

Disagree. I think they would.

 

[quinn1971]

Thought it a bit strange at 4-0 up and cruising why Raph didn’t get a few mins ? Either not fit enough or not ready so why be on the bench

Introduction to the first team match day routine?

Possibly, but he’s travelled the last 2 games ?

If EMC had not gone off I think he may have got 5 mins.

Hopefully we'll get to see him soon. Maybe the cup game?

 

[quinn1971]

Players really rate him, heard from someone that it’s his Visa stopping him playing and not an injury, expect to see him after new years day ?
