    I would like to see him tell RLB, to his face, how fuming he is with him ...

    ... stamping your feet on a chat forum is like a toddler thrashing around on a supermarket floor <laugh>

    Think that's that doberman lad from rtg. Recognize him off years ago. Sure he did stuff with the flags and that too.

    His points are valid TBH. It was a poor show from RLB but sure it will be put right against the smog

    Yeah pretty much agree with it all apart from the Samed part, thought he was fine personally just can't play him and Neil in the same team.

    Why.

    Everyone, including RLB, knows it was poor ...

    ... endlessly repeating that is pointless and only becomes crass entertainment for those who enjoy it.

    Yeah, we f*cked up ,,, wadda ya gonna do?

    There no doubt Reg got it all wrong yesterday.

    He also has us sniffing the arseholes of the automatic promotion teams so I’ll forgive him a few mistakes.

    We aren’t far of doubling points per game for last season and only Isidor and Meph have been regular starters added this season, we lost our talisman and we’ve had endless injuries.

    Of course. No Reg, probably no Isidor and we be like 12th without Wilson’s contribution.

    It’s absolutely ok to say ‘Reg ****ed it yesterday’ or whatever, to say we are where we are ‘in spite’ of Reg, or that we have been lucky is just bullshit, and damaging bullshit.

    We’ve actually been the opposite of lucky we could easily have 15 extra points, I can only think of Preston away and Leeds at home where we’ve been ‘lucky’.

    We have some horrific, clueless and negative fans that at some point could do some real harm to the club.

    This is a match thread on a forum, no issue at all with lads on here saying their bit. You share in X that’s massive reach and that gets shared to **** and suddenly there’s a problem.

    Remember, there were lads on there saying Wilson should ‘never play for the club again’ over missed penalties.

    Moronic didn’t even begin to describe them.

    Yep. He is an incredibly able and tidy player, we just can’t balance having both and it looks like he will get us less forward movement than Dan.

    Remains Dans spot.

    Was talking to a argyle fan today who was up for the weekend and apparently for the Burnley match the 2 c/bs that played against us were playing as wingbacks against Burnley, the manager changed them back for our game

    Reg got it wrong. But he’s got a lot more right, and whenever he’s got it wrong before we tend to correct it pretty quickly

    he’s learning like the players, it’s only his third season in management

    we’re gonna be fine

    I think we go up this season. Whether it’s play offs or autos

    At 2-1 up you couldn't have said that tbf ...

    ... it was poor but we fought back after falling behind.

    That's football, as Spurs just found out.

    The only failing I see with RLB which has been consistent throughout the season is trying to sit on a one goal lead instead of killing off the opposition. No team in the league has lost more points than us in the last 10/15 minutes of a game. It is something that he needs to address.

    Bringing on a defender for a forward to protect a lead is a tactic which belongs in the 20th century. It gives us nobody to hold the ball up front and invites the other team to put pressure on us with wave after wave of attacks.

    When we equalised you could see the Plymouth heads dropped straightaway and we followed it up with the 2nd. We should have went for the 3rd at that point and killed the game off, instead we invited them back into the game and it cost us two points.

    True enough. When second went in I expected a couple more, but we almost immediately retreated.

    It’s something I noticed a while back which is why I drew the comparison with Jack Ross. We are at a point now where we are clearly better than most of the league, there’s no need for this negative tactic. Stay on the front foot and start putting games to bed. We’ve got the quality to do it.

    I could understand this tactic in the premier league but not here and now.
