Almost 10?

It happens every time, it seems that it isn't possible to praise one player without in turn slagging off another to somehow prove the point. Dolan was in cracking form until his injury against Birmingham, from that point we nosedived.

Good point which looks even better thanks to some favourable results elsewhere. Here's hoping that a full week's coaching, and a decent all round performance at a difficult venue isn't a coincidence.

I'm not clutching at anything, I don't need to,I'm beyond getting emotionally attached to anyone, I'm just saying it as I see it. We were in a death spiral, Tomasson left and we've lost 2 in 8 as I see it, not brilliant obviously but the way we were playing previously, not too bad. If you want to quote the lack of wins crack on, I don't really care if we draw our way to safety, we can't afford to go down. I think keeping us up would be a good achievement, you play it down if you want.

The table shows form over the season, it has no relevance whatsoever to the form the team was in prior to Tomasson leaving.

I think some have underestimated the damage done previously, if he saves Rovers from the drop, it will have been some turnaround.

It would be a good draw tomorrow for sure. I'm reading lots about no wins, but another draw and just 2 defeats in 9 since Tomasson left would be a good foundation on which to take on the back end of the season.

They've brought in 5 times more staff and done 5 times worse.

Thing is not one person on here wouldn't agree that we're" light" in every department, never mind midfield. Are we all making excuses or are they factors rather than excuses. Maybe cut him a bit of slack rather than jumping on every comment he makes. Tomasson made the same comment numerous times, maybe look back at the responses?

All earmarked for future transfers??

It was on the boxing on Friday, and Back In black.

Would you take a draw now?

I'm rather hoping he doesn't get the chance.

Tomasson has forgotten about Blackburn Rovers already, he didn't give us a second thought.

We were playing some great stuff and he did definitely suffer from injuries, especially the much maligned Dolan,his injury and Costello was the start of the decline. I don't share your optimism about turning it around though, I think it had gone too far. We were in a death spiral, I suppose the question is would we have beaten Stoke the next game with him here?

That had won 2 in how long? Tomasson's last 11 games brought 2 points, since he left it's 8 from 8 games. Maybe not a bounce, but at least there's a bit of air back in it. We were going down under Tomasson, but at least we knew about the bus.

I agree with everything you say, although we should have been 2 up and cruising before Plymouth got on top. Been flicking through the match day thread since I got back, and it would appear that if Eustace does actually keep us up after the bollocks he inherited, he will probably deserve a knighthood.

Plymouth had missed one chance at that point , their number 9 put the one on one wide. Shortly after, Siggurdson missed the sitter of all sitters. What would have happened if he hadn't missed that then we'll never know, but they had only had that one chance up until then.

We shouldn't, we should have been 2 up and cruising.

There you go

We've come back from a goal down in 3 of the last 4 matches, it's the one thing giving me a bit more confidence we can stay up.

We were lucky last night, our only real chance came when their defence played Siggurdson in. It's definitely going to be a back 5, maybe Ayari might be able to unlock the Plymouth back 11. It's going to be another war of attrition,although we at least don't look as vulnerable from set pieces. It won't be pretty.

I'm not praising anybody, just pointing out a couple of positives, in my view. I don't really care if he leaves tomorrow, or if they all leave tomorrow, gone are the days of pinning colours to the mast for any manager or player, they don't exist any more. I don't think I've criticised Tomasson on here before, it was a reaction to some criticising Eustace after 2 minutes when he's picked up the baton from the mess that was left behind. Honestly, if I've hurt your feelings I apologise, but don't be worrying about Tomasson because just like all the others, he's moved on and he doesn't care. Here's hoping Eustace or whoever is in charge by Saturday gets a win.

October?? bloodyell.

Draws have been off the cards for over a year from a goal down. It's the one major positive in his favour so far, that and we look a lot more secure defending set pieces, plus we've scored from 2 under him. Not massive positives, but definitely positives from the last bloke.
