  1. Been to Home Park many times over the years, I once witnessed Tommy Tynan (Plymouths Simon Garner) put 4 past us, that was a long trip home........I saw Scott Sellers score from a corner as the wind was that strong and Howard Gayle called us all "******g mad" for travelling at that way, Cheer Howard!

    Most memorable has to be the playoff clincher under Kenny.

    Tough game, but we're a tough side, Plymouth 1 Rovers 3

    Anyone staying down there, Plymouth hoe and Barbican area are great, worked down there a few years back now, great areas for hotels, pubs and restaurants.

    I was impressed today. I thought we played really well. Watford will think they were unlucky but rovers were never outstretched or outplayed IMO.

    Defensively we were organised and mistakes were rare. We were caught out with the balls inside Brittain a number of times but that was about it.

    When you’re trying to make judgements on a player, watch him away from home. Today showed up Leonard’s frailties. He has a lot to work on. Dolan, well did he ever find another team mate when he was on? I was also just saying to my son how Hedges does a lot of running with the ball but rarely creates or scores. Within minutes, guess what happened!

    Got to mention Adam Wharton again. I don’t think I can remember the last time I saw a young rovers player with the passing ability that he’s got. First time passes, no first touch needed. He can do everything. Some of the things he does, some of his vision is Messi-like. He’s not there yet. He could contribute a lot more during the 90 minutes and he could reduce the number of times he concedes possession, all things any manager would demand. If you can’t get excited by his abilities though, then I really don’t know what you want.

    Good show today but real team strengthening required up front. 

    Great post den 👍

  3. It doesn't take a genus to read between the lines, we have an unhappy manager who was sold a club with ambition, that has once again very quickly gone bad. Its all the more galling because after he arrived as 4/5th choice, he does seem to have plenty about him, yet the owners aren't interested in the slightest and he will walk, I have no doubt about that.

    We have a number of posters who defend Venkys to the hilt, blaming everyone else for the clubs failings. I don't believe they do this because they think they're great owners, but because they think we have no other options.

    If JDT does walk, will those same posters continue to support the owners?

    Gallagher was as good as he has been for a while. His role today would not require an explanation. Not only did he offer us a threat, he helped to protect Brittain who was hopeless.

    Gally was playing with an injury for a while last season, doing the hard yards for the side until he was forced to sit things out and recover. 

    He was very good yesterday, scored, we can’t ask for more than that from him.

    Pity we couldn’t hang on, we draw a line under that game and move on.

    Onwards and upwards.
