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

This myth needs to stop being peddled, the club wouldn’t be able to register him as a player if he had issues with his Visa.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 ?
Maybe it was Barclaycard then.This myth needs to stop being peddled, the club wouldn’t be able to register him as a player if he had issues with his Visa.

Meant he’s been fit enough for a few weeks so it’s not his injury stopping him playing, he played for the U23s 3 weeks ago and was different class?Visa concerns employment, not minutes played.
The answer is the first team is a much higher level and he’s currently not at that level. He will probably go on loan somewhere in JanuaryMeant he’s been fit enough for a few weeks so it’s not his injury stopping him playing, he played for the U23s 3 weeks ago and was different class?
He won’t, seen him play, he’s quality, back up on the right for saka, potential to be just as goodThe answer is the first team is a much higher level and he’s currently not at that level. He will probably go on loan somewhere in January
No, just boring.I think a few people could put it down to be fair...oh wait I'm cbeing nasty lol
I love Norm but he's just so raw , some of his touches , passes , movement were awkward today . He's got a bucket load of potential and can see why he's starting currently but I think Haji plays 9 when he returnsBassette does a lot of work like putting the keeper under pressure, yeah their keeper wasn't the best today but him getting in his face every time he got the ball made him panic.
He's employed so it isn't a visa problemPlayers 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 ?
Let alone pretend to put him on the benchThis myth needs to stop being peddled, the club wouldn’t be able to register him as a player if he had issues with his Visa.
Unless there is some real bad blood and particularly in the instance of Lampard and Rooney where there is a mutual deep respect I do genuinely believe that 9 times out of 10 managers do not actively go out to humiliate other managers in games like that - If we kept the same intensity in the second half no exaggeration we could have won that 7 or 8 nil! Not that I expect the players to be running round like lunatics when the game is already won but I think Lampard probably just told them to pass it round until the end of the game partly out of respect to the oppositionEnjoyed us controlling the tempo second half.
It was a bore fest but really controlled performance.
Lati keeps his spot at CB for me now.
Glad to get the win, especially a convincing one which was needed after the Pompey fiasco
A word on Plymouth, I expected them to be limited but not that bad - They were dire, on a par with Rotherham last season - Credit to the fans who stuck it out, you are better football supporters than me
Not getting carried away, we won't play an easier game in a long time (in the League anyway) but it was nice to finally put a side to the sword, we need to back it up Sunday now
Eccles MOTM obviously and thought Latibeaudiere had a good game

Their keeper was direI did have EMC as my MOTM at the first thought because he was a massive threat at LW in the half. Taking a step back, Eccles had an imperious first half. Taking aside his two goals, his passing was genuinely top drawer stuff and his assist for EMC’s goal was poetry in motion.
Agreed on Eccles being MOTM because he was fantastic (credit where it’s due) but I do think the GK was Collins-esque (I.e. useless) for his second goal and arguably his first. That’s not taking anything from Eccles because both were great strikes of the ball and something missing in his game (and Sheaf’s) so long may it continue!
Looking forward to beating Millwall for the double! ‘Mon the boys!
he wouldn't be on the bench without a valid work permitleft it too late apparentl, been training for the last 3 weeks ?
on loan from Leeds who got him as part of the Kalvin Phillips dealI thought Plymouth's no.18 was their bright spark - Looked a decent little player and head and shoulders above his teammates
The problem is, as I suspect will become clear when he returns, Haji is not a natural number 9. He doesn't work his socks off like Norm, nor have the aerial ability of Simms. He needs the little bit of space that he gets on the flank, or playing off the striker in a 2 up front.I would continue with Norm right now. I’d rather have him working his socks off and making the opposition defenders work than Simms who regularly hides.
Haji will obviously have to be slotted in when fit though as he is our best striker.
To be fair, he’s good with both feet, so the other option could be to put him on the right wing?The problem is, as I suspect will become clear when he returns, Haji is not a natural number 9.

He is a super player and I hope he can adapt to not being in his preferred position
I thought that bout DaSilva when he played against us for Bristol.I thought Plymouth's no.18 was their bright spark - Looked a decent little player and head and shoulders above his teammates
Lots of lazy comments re Rooney.
Lowest playing budget by some distance, major players out injured, it is no surprise they are struggling.
Gyabi. Thought he was very inconsistent…didn’t do enough off the ball and was caught in possession a couple of times. Good on the ball though.I thought Plymouth's no.18 was their bright spark - Looked a decent little player and head and shoulders above his teammates
