Armstrong is a diver then.

They're determined to ship Garrett out, huh? 16 year old Dunn on the bench as one of the few midfield options we have.

He's literally forced his way out of Plymouth. So if you're happy signing characters like that they can be had for a good price.

Could not give a single shit about his career. Scum.

Only if that quality single striker is Mbappe.

They've completely fucked the season, as they always do. It's predictably depressing.

You mean you're not enthused with signing a St Johnstone striker when everyone else is spending millions? For shame. We'd be nowhere without the Venkys, they never refuse to sign a cheque.

Imagine skipping a Plymouth match to force a move to... Middlesbrough. Yikes.

He's an excellent LB. He doesn't have a good enough first touch to be a winger.

Beck is a poor left winger, so that'd fit with the model.

I'd play Leonard instead of one of Hedges / Dolan / Weimann / ACD out wide. I still don't think he's a CF (at least not a lone one) but he's skilful and clever enough to do a job as a pivot / playmaker out wide I think.

He looks a bit jaded to me at the moment and needs a rest. You could play Weimann or Dolan for him at #10, if we had the numbers. Regarding his overall game, I think they need to have a chat about dropping so deep. It takes him out of the attack - he's currently playing similar to Dack after his knee injuries. Dropping deep, looking for the ball and then unable to get up with the attack if anything positive happens once he's dropped deep. He needs to stay upfield - close to Gueye if possible to hoover up his flick ons.

Let's hope this fraud case in India ruins them.

I think he's pushing that narrative for his own CV. "Look at our pre-season expectations and look where I have us. Now take a look at this squad."

He's clearly much faster than Dolan. He actually runs people in that highlights reel.

Hedges goal at Watford and what else?

I think you all have to accept that we've blown the season. I'd love them to actually sign players permanently - we need more assets. I fear they're going to loan players in and piss more money away, leaving us fucked in the summer.

I'm pretty sure neither Hedges or Dolan could do half of this:

Sorry, haven't you heard? They sold the drawing board to keep the lights on.

He's about as qualified as I am for the role - although I'd be sacked in the first week because I'd ship out Hedges, Dolan, Buckley and Pears as soon as I could.

Aaaaaabsolutely no way Eustace wants this job if they let him down in January. They let him down in the summer and he pulled out a miracle. He's working his socks off to manage this team - why bother if the owners are actively working against you? He'll be off to the first open Championship gig in the summer and I wouldn't blame him.

I think Eustace is a fantastic Championship manager, but the squad has run out of steam. As it did under JDT. Everyone else is reinforcing in January and we've gone backwards. We've had a terrible December and January (due to no fault of the players / manager) and we have another busy period coming up at the start of February. That's too many games and too many points bled away. Our best player is out for 6 weeks, Travis won't be match fit until mid-Feb, God knows how long Brittain is out for now. It looks like Batth picked up an injury too.

We had the best FB pairing in the league (assuming Brittain is out for weeks now and Beck is about to pull up injured). They put teams on the back foot. The problem, as it's always been, is that Weimann / Dolan / Hedges / ACD are crap and offer nothing - which obviously then neuters the strikers and Cantwell.

Genuinely what homework was that? A sliced shot that turned into an incredible pass that faded away from the GK and landed on the head of their £7m striker 2 yards out? Freak goal.

We watched a different match.
