It is a massive concern & sickening to us fans who have passion for the club. We are a Championship club with relatively low publicity. If we were Premiership we'd be more under the radar and perhaps football authorities would have a say. As you rightly imply this (JB to SWFC in last hour of transfer window) is evidence on the DoF model failing from the football side. Buckley gone now weakens the squad, JDT's patch. If JB was a difficult team member he'd be disciplined, JDT's patch. Venkys are business people and will look at next month Management Accounts (well I'm not sure they do but....) and see "Wages" cost are less than previous month and everyone on the board will receive a thumbs up email.

So the journey was too much for the team. Need to go by train then when we play Southampton if flying is too expensive.

Clear as daylight, Plymouth players wanted to win & we didn't. We looked slow and that a disgrace to our 1,000 fans. Miss by Hedges was pathetic and will keep him awake tonight. All this talk of Andy Wharton being a £25m by May 2024 has completely gone out the window. Has his head been turned already? Shouted down for suggesting this might happen but for the deflected goal he wasn't even standing correctly. Still say that journey down south knackered them. Poor performance lets hope JDT gives them a bollocking.

4 shots on target with 58%. Too much passing about with no quality. They had 9 shots on target with 3 beating Pears. Time to give Pears a rest. Today's bench was weakest for a long time. We need those new signing match ready in two weeks so I'm hoping to hear of a game behind closed doors. JDT is no fool and he will insist on discipline both on and off the pitch. I hate these international breaks but as things stand it a god send for us.

Did Hyam go off injured?

Yeap we can hope. Looking forward to our new keeper.

Lets hear him have a go at Venkys. He'll blame tired legs after long journey and how grateful for international break. Not many worthy of the shirt after today. VENKYS OUT!!!!!!

Two shots on target all afternoon.

Spurs have scored 5 too !

Tired after long journey is one excuse that will be used.

Nobbers 0 2 up

Southampton look shocking! 5 0 thrashing in TM back garden with only 2 shots on target.

SSN just saying next round draw is tomorrow. Thought it was after Everton game.

SEVEN

Brings back memories! Sir Roger saves penalty, Barry Endean (ex WFC) & Tony Field score under Rovers manager Ken Furphy. Most players donning those long sideburns, fashion back in the day. Good vocal support from Rovers fans on 26th minute & it wasn't "no ney never" either.

even if it has already been posted (not itk!) it great to see again.

j10 is no where near Rishton.

Idiots. Glad there's no injuries and hope Police identify those responsible and jail them.

Watford had 24 shots but only 4 on target! Well managed game by JDT.

He is eligible to play, number 24.

Opens up a weakness for future teams to exploit. Having said that we were a man short.

Dolan understandably looked dejected as he came off yesterday. He kind of side stepped a hug from JDT but the whole ground knew he would be coming off once Pickering was given a red. Probably a star in training, hence he was in team, but he's too weak with no weight, too predictable & lacks skill for this level.

Entertaining game but costly. Gallagher was star player gave everything. Long long transfer window plus the time it will take to get players up to speed makes these first games a bonus missed. If the these dream players don't happen we will fall short of last season.

Cant believe no penalty! If it was in front of home fans for manu it would have been given.
