SUMMER NEWS 2025

Owen Dale ...26yrs old...Oxford...loaned out to Wigan...18 games...one goal.....we have a team of similar quality.

Law McCabe...19yrs old...Middlesboro...played 3 games 2yrs ago.....less experience than are own 19yr olds.

We used to get loanees from bigger clubs that could strengthen our team....but those days are gone.

We even loan out Freddie Issaka who has just as much experience ....so bring in two...but loan out one.....so the end of the window has just increased our squad by one ?

And none of that has anything to do with pasoti.....we're just barrel scraping....and struggling to do that.

Mathias Ross will play tomorrow so we're told....let us hope he is a good purchase....to go with our one good buy Lorent Tolaj....who needs to get some decent service soon.

 

Who would satisfy you Plym?

Perhaps Liverpool could spare Alexander Isak for a while.

 

Only if we could give him the support he would need to do his job.

Law McCabe might be a great youngster.....but haven't we already got great youngsters of our own....McCabe is 19 and experienced three league games when he was 17......you would think that Middlesboro could have found him a more local club to advance his experience during the last two years ?.....instead of sending him the full length of England.......but with our limited squad we off-load Issaka who has played league games for us to Div Two and keep Hatch and Finn.....who need the help of experienced older pro's to bring them on.....so maybe Owen Dale might help them a little.....but I'm not sure that he will be a regular even in this squad.

It's just so disappointing what is happening at Argyle.....those years of foundation building seem to just be blown away....and we have an inexperienced manager who I feel doesn't know quite how to go about the job in hand.....20th this season might be seen as a success story.

 

I despair Plym.

Clubs send their youngsters to clubs where they believe they will be well coached, well looked after and from where they are likely to return better players then when they left.

We have an inexperienced manager who is a well known name due to a significant playing career and who seems to me to speak well.

I'm just watching the latest press conference. He doesn't mince his words. When he speaks he has something to say. Asked about Argyle being a "big fish" in the Vertu Trophy, he says "Yes, when I look at the away end at Cardiff on Saturday, you get the "big club" feel and sooner or later, we need to repay that".

He describes Law McCabe as being young but "above the level". He says that having played in that role, it's all about the percentages. Winning tackles, picking up the second ball, keeping the ball and then adding creativity. Do you know who that is? Adam Randell is who that is. He made his debut aged 18.

You should really invest in ArgyleTV Plym, you'd learn a lot about the club and its people.

 

You are wasting your time notdistant. Some people are only happy when they are dripping for England. I read Pasoti and the place is full of them which is the reason I have never joined the place. At least Not606 Argyle only has one who continually moans. I repeat I read Pasoti so I see much influence in posts on here.

 

I see Argyle have issued a statement on Bim Pepple after his penalty miss on Tuesday. Apparently some morons took to social media and racially abused him. Rightly Argyle are backing him and are calling out these people. Getting upset at a poor performance is one thing but what the feck is this world coming too when it is seen as the thing to do and racially abuse someone or even just abuse. This is where I really hate social media. Stick these people in a room alone with the person they are abusing and you wouldn't hear a peep out of them.

 

That’s the second time this season. Let’s hope they’re caught, imprisoned and banned for life. Scum.

Sheffield Wednesday are wanting Argyle's Keeper Coach...Darryl Flahavan to become their Goal Keeper Coach.

 

What to watch.

1.....England mens football ?
Or
2.....England womens Rugby ?

In the end I watched the RUGBY....the football was abysmal....endless side to side and backward passing at walking pace....how can we not beat a team like Andorra more conclusively.

 

F1 Qualifying. Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari at Monza.

Otter than an Argyle win, what could be better?

 

T20 blast tomorrow as well as the Italian GP.

Also, Bromley v Gillingham at 5pm…….

 

Well here’s a shock.

After what I thought was a dull and unconvincing win against Andorra in a home fixture. England have just beaten Serbia 0-5 over there. Another goal was (rightly) ruled out for offside and Serbia has a player sent off for a desperate trip on Harry Kane.! Serbia failed to extract a single shot on target from an apparently impregnable England defence.

Playing Serbia isn’t like facing Spain or Brazil or the like but they are an 11 man awkward squad and they and their fans are fiercely patriotic. England just dominated them from start to finish.

The England team wasn’t made up entirely from apex elite clubs but they were excellent to a man.

I’m gobsmacked TBH.

Serbia had an excellent home record.....but the manager had picked a team that Serbians found hard to understand.....they seemed rather toothless....but that could of been because of England's dominance......and that was with some star players unavailable.......over 10hrs since England have conceded a goal......bit like Argyle........

 

Perhaps this will damp-down the uninformed criticism of how Argyle is being run.

Plymouth Argyle one of only a few clubs praised in 2025 Fair Game Index

Joe Hatch has joined Taunton on loan until January.

 

Another player gets an injury whilst training.....Szucs will be out for 4-6 weeks.....yet another injury this season from the training ground.

Watts lasted only four minutes yesterday before picking up an hamstring problem.....could be our for awhile.

Amaechi is a long term injury....into the new year.

Hazard is in training so is nearing being available.

Pleguezuelo has been out awhile.

But MacKenzie...Paterson are nearing being available.

 

Being without Amaechi and Watts is a real blow. Both carry a real attacking threat.

There's relief that Szucs isn't worse:

I have the heating on morning and evening now, so it must be Autumn....

But anyhow, bad news:

Using the heating in September just doesn't happen in our home......insulated walls keep us cosy.

We knew this player had a track record of injuries.....should he be warming up differently.

 

he wont get paid if he goes there
