    The last two that wore caps ended well in Benny and Tony-let’s hope this one is third time lucky.

    I've watched he 34minutes of GS's introduction alongside JL.

    Totally stage managed.
    The City guy introducing and asking 'supporters' questions was embarrassing in the extreme, so bloody amateurish.
    Tinnion, unsurprisingly, was rarely mentioned.

    Anyway, we are where we are in the most unfair league in the world.
    Enough bullshit, GS has an impossible task.
    But I wish him the very best of luck.

    I share your views on LJ Supcon - he did ok IMHO, so it’s only fair that I balance that with my view on NP.
    I thought Nige did ok too - not brilliantly but ok. He had an inflated squad (reasons for this will be debated until the cows come home) and there were definitely financial constraints on him - again we can debate forever on who exactly controls the purse strings and oversees incoming and outgoing players.
    Under NP we gained the unwelcome reputation for shipping late goals and I certainly didn’t find his style of football attractive. I thought he should have gone after the WBA defeat, but SL stuck by him and fair play he turned it around. He ‘steadied the ship’ and for that I’m grateful to him.
    The timing of his sacking was very harsh. If they had sacked him after the West Brom defeat I would have understood but to do it when they did was unwarranted - unless there were other factors in play - I know he wasn’t in the best of health.
    NP did ok under the circumstances IMHO. Not brilliant but ok. Thanks Nige.

    My first words it was staged very carefully by the powers that be.

    I’d have thought you’d be happy, doesn’t he like to play with 2 up front, that’s right up your alley.

    then should knight go then it is what it is,really should be a nice little earner so long its with the new governors approval, you can never see us making marquee signings more cub tent,
    but so long as they gel into a team i can live with that,

    We need to add numbers to the squad, if we get a good price from a PL club, so be it. We can’t stand in his way anyway, and we get cash to buy more players in.

    Not an impressive signing I think but what the hell as long as he didn't cost over the odds like last summer with Mayulu, Armstrong and Twine where we wasted a huge chunk of money that should have been put to better use. We move on and see what, if any, attempts we can make to improve the squad and who needs to go asap? I didn't see the interview but by all reports it was staged managed by Trump's choreographer because questions were diverted to whoever was going to create he least fuss with their dialogue. How many times did Gerhard nod his head to comments made by Lansdown or Tinnion because that's a good sign of a "yes man" and we don't need that again.

    Highly rated player is Randel, think we moved quickly as the other clubs are all pecking at Plymouth players now Muslic has left. Hardie who would have been good for us but went to Wrexham. I would like to see us go for Bundu as well and take a hit on getting rid of Armstrong. (Mayulu I want to see in a two up top, before I write him off)

    Struber is not a yes man. From what I’ve read on OTIB that’s one thing he is not.

    Also Tinnion wasn’t in the conference?

    If we persevere with Armstrong in the team expecting him to score goals we’ll be in trouble

    I think he either needs to go or be loaned to L1 team
    Wells is ok as a standby if we retain him but I can’t see many goals from Cornick or Fally either

    Hardie would have been a very good buy with nearly 1 goal every 3 games
    It comes to something when players favour bloody Wrexham and their Hollywood money, assuming any other clubs were interested ?

    I’d really like to see Wrexham brought right down to earth with a great big bump in the Championship

    He is off that's why -i will fly him there <laugh>

    Podcasters of football rate him either a masterstroke or not time will tell.

    Randall seems a decent player -conflicting vibes from plymouth fans though-seems to have a engine can only see it being Knights replacement.
