Luckily you would be here saying stick with him 

I know. God forbid we’d have different points of view.

Just confirmed. Hope to god it’s 3rd time lucky for him.

I was impressed with you lot last night, 3 cracking goals.  

Who'd have had Rooney above Rob Edwards going into October?  Certainly not me (although I was probably basing that mostly on him signing Ogbeta for that level).  Presume Argyle fans are warming to Rooney now.

Playing a pretty expansive game which will see us picked off by some of the top quality sides, but is entertaining. Ogbeta not even in the match day squad now shows how our recruitment was a gamble, but seem to have landed couple of gems.

Rooney is remarkably approachable for someone worth nigh on 200M doing karaoke on the Barbican.

Gary O'Neil can't have long left at Wolves now

Was wondering that.

They lost a couple of good players in the summer, and at times yesterday, the body language and effort (especially when defending) was not good enough, and that's purely on a few minutes on MoTD.

You know what would mean though...

Looking at fixtures they've had a tough start with arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, villa and Liverpool

They always  tend to get a goal 

Next they've got got city and Brighton

Then a run of fixtures where they could get a decent points haul if their confidence isn't shot 

Or which a new manager could definitely look for a good start off

Don't think West Ham's manager will be lasting long.

Moyes back by November

Russell Martin philosophy type. Win or lose one way. It’s bizarre and I hope it gets in the bin soon

Its a curse on football.

Can't remember anything else like it that's infected a whole generation.

There's only one manager who can carry it off. And even he evolves every single season.

From grassroots to the top it's a plague.

Emperor's new clothes.

The more they do it, and it doesn't work, they more they seem to stick with it until the players reach the highest levels of football purity.

Meanwhile, fans are left shaking their heads.

Someone will re-pioneer 2 wingers and a little and large striker partnership that will take a league or a tournament by storm and suddenly it'll all switch again.

Then someone will re-pioneer the Makelele role 😀

I was chatting to a Wednesday fan today and he was saying their game v Swansea last night was a perfect example of poundshop Pep ball.  Both sides moving slowly around the pitch passing sideways and gaining nothing but 2 sets of bored fans.

It's like chess but slower and less entertaining.

Over the past 15 or so years this has happened many, many times.

It's quite the insult really.

Two "no nonsense" centre backs. Preferably called Tony and Gary.

Sheehan as a deep sitting midfielder doesn't really work unless the sun is shining and the opposition has decided that they are happy to play expansively against us, any sign of fight and he seems to go missing. I'd like to see him replaced with someone stronger and perhaps Sheehan could play further up the field. Campo is my favourite player and I genuinely believe that he was uniquely suited to this role.

Who from our current squad would be best equipped to fill the role? I think I'd try GJ in a hybrid 451/433, reinvent the Big Sam plan.
