And yes I know he was on a hiding to nothing but Buckley did his usual disappearing act when called upon today. The lad is reversing at a rate of knots.

I get sick of hearing about this supposed hardman reputation he has. He's soft as shite, shit on the ball and as thick as a whale omelette. All his bookings are for stupidity not marking an opponent's card. We need better in there, he's starting to remind me of J-Lo.

Kompany used his HT talk well, JDT just said more of the same. Kompany identified a lack of ability in full back areas and pressed in numbers once we had it there. First goal I have no complaints about it's good attacking play, the other 2 were appalling from us and so avoidable.

Jesus Christ, he'd need to be Paul Fucking Daniels to have turned that around in 10 minutes. Have a word with yourself.

JDT comprehensively out-managed here. Sheff Utd showed us the blueprint last week but he decided he knew better...

We've gone into the lions den armed with an army of pussycat. Fucking abysmal showing this, the manager needs to front up and apologise for this. The one thing you expect is desire and effort and we get neither.

FFS, show some fucking bravery and want the ball

Not the sharpest tool in the shed either is he? Some of his punditry here is cringeworthy. When asked about what the game meant he said 'it's full of rivalry'. What the hell does that even mean?

Blimey, that's brilliant

Rather her than that grinning prick Michael Dawson. Spends 5 minutes saying the square root of sod all.

Yeah, he pretty much shat his pants as soon as he realised he was one on one

I called the Markanday debacle a couple of months ago but was shot down as apparently we're easing him back from a bad injury and striker isn't his position?? One thing is for sure, if he's a worse option than Vale or Hirst he must be pub league level.

That was an awful way to spend an evening. There's absolutely nothing you can take from that game

Where is the urgency?

I'd take Hirst off, I really would

Definitely not a gold shiny one anyway. Probably one of those you get in every pack and worth sod all for swaps. Like Alan Gowling in the 70s.

Ha ha, that tickled me.

4 year contract for Jack Vale. The lad must feel like he's won the lottery.

Very very poor. Vale has zero ability to play with his back to goal, no physicality whatsoever.

Scott Wharton has been poor so far as well. His passing is not in the same league as his brother that's for sure

Vale really has to do better here, he's been very poor so far

Nothing much to report on this one apart from our tempo is too slow and Vale needs to be stronger and make it stick up top

Agreed Tyrone. Watch how often he has that quick look before receiving the ball. It seems a simple task but it's so difficult to have that awareness of all that is going on around him in the hustle of a midfield battle.

Not the Championship but what a game this Devon derby is. Plymouth have a lad up front called Morgan Whittaker, on loan from Swansea, he looks a very very good player.

Look how quickly he moves the ball and how he's so good on the half turn. If he stays fit he is going to be some player in his early 20s, what a talent.
