You have and you are right. Cheese can argue with himself. Lee poor today. 

Yes, but he wasn’t poor. People saying that his legs have gone is ridiculous - I’m sure some folks are not watching the games.

Lee was getting back into his own area and making tackles. Yes, he should have scored but I’d love to see the stats as he worked his bollocks off.

He’s obviously been a technically excellent player but my view is he’s on the decline and we shouldn’t be playing him against the better teams in our league especially away from home, it’ll be interesting to see how his season goes from here, my guess is that Evatt will trust him less in the big games from here on in. Given he’s probably on a decent wage I’d not be sorry to see him moved on and the wage used for a tough tacking CDM to help shore up our midfield. 

Lee’s at his best against the better teams. IMO, he’s actually upped his game from last season, mad that he’s being criticized.

Best player on pitch v a Premier League team 4 days previous.

5 goals last season and plenty assists 

He's still got lots to offer 

But I think he's a good example of why IE is going down the squad rotation route as opposed to "impact sub" route at the moment 

The biggest challenge this season is going to be consistency

Yes 5 goals, and all 5 a thing of beauty.  His 2 goals at Charlton, that's the only away game he's ever scored in for us.  His other 5 goals were at home, v Walsall and Harrogate in his 1st season, and Gills, Ipswich, Sunderland last year. 

Strangely, all 7 of his goals for us have been in the 2nd half, that doesn't suggest to me someone who isn't fit enough or who tires.  Plenty points-earning one's in tight games too.  Its just he hasn't really done it away from home.

All rise for @leighwhitesgetting back at 1pm tomorrow and being back in the pub by 6 👏

Let’s see how Evatt uses him in league games from now on… sparingly be my guess…. Playing Villa at home is a completely different kettle of fish to playing a big physical team away from home in league one.

Probably same folk who were saying Wheater couldn't pay two games a week when he was regularly playing two games a week

I thought we had a team full of David Battys  for most of it and our strikers couldn’t score in a brothel.

Lee should be first on the team sheet. Sorry but your talking shite. Santos and Baka need dropping between them we have lost about 4 points in the last three games. Bricks on their backs and up and down Rivvy until they are fit again to start

It’s all about opinions and we will see how it pans out for Lee, if Evatt insists on playing Lee he’d better beef up the midfield round him, my view is he will go without him more often as the season progresses and that’ll improve our results. Oh and no one can replace Santos in that back line.

Another note plymouths catering set up was one of the best I’ve seen

good selection and queues went quickly it’s not hard if done properly 

An observation made using only West Lower (South end) catering kiosks as a comparison as I’ve not been in other parts of ground for some time but in WSL much of the time taken to get served is because the club insists on using agency staff for the kiosks . Many see the set-up for the first time on the day they’re working, many don’t use English as a first language (nothing wrong with that but we hardly speak the Queen’s English) they are probably just on minimum wage so probably have little interest in doing a great customer service job.

Unfortunately not the choice of the club and, as with the stewarding, repeated at pretty much every stadium in the country post-Covid. Limited, sporadic hours at unsociable times for minimum wage.

Why so many that can't speak or understand English though?

Surely the agency can send speakers as its a vital part of the role?

Club is losing money as a result.

Think I mentioned other week the club have been struggling for matchday staff nearly to the point where the safety certificate was touch & go on a few occasions.

Sheff weds game they got 2 minibuses of workers from a place in Manchester last minute and told to crack on most didn’t have a scooby

must’ve have a different recruitment set up at Plymouth but port vale was similar to our place

Without getting too stereotypical or political, white English folk aren’t signing up to these agencies. They’re can only send who they’ve got on the books. Should round up a few dozen benefit scroungers as far as I’m concerned but as we all know it doesn’t work like that unfortunately.

There was a coach load bussed in from Manchester that was parked in the corner of car park C recently too. Plymouth possibly benefits from their isolation in that case. 

I think the question often has to be about who they're unable to attract to these jobs, rather than bemoaning the quality of worker who does at least bother to turn up without the relevant skills or training etc.

Working 1 till 7 for about £50 on a Saturday is unappealing at the best of times.
Throw in the fact that it's summer, you're dealing with football fans and it might be the only 'work' the agency has for you that fortnight, is it worth the hassle?

By the time they've got to/from wherever they get bussed from and they've sacrifice a chunk of the earnings to the benefits taper, who'd bother?

Which in turn suggests clubs are looking for staff on the cheap. Too easy to just outsource it.

The age of the population is older, and there are vast numbers of experienced older people who may well be looking for a bit of extra cash for a couple of hours a week. Clubs could advertise and and make the role more inclusive within the club so employees feel part of something.

Or alternatively, completely sub let the refreshment areas completely and utilise local eateries- bit like the fanzone. 

The offering is overpriced, average to shit quality stuff, served by prannocks.

Surely more money to be made by alternative approaches.

Minimum wage is the going rate as it always has been. The domain of the student on a Saturday. Unfortunately there are plenty of other jobs that pay minimum wage every Saturday - and for longer hours - rather than at best one in three. To match that we’d have to pay three times the minimum wage and that’s never going to happen. As I’ve posted previously, it’s the same situation with stewards - worse so, in fact, as they need qualifications - and is replicated at every stadium in the UK, in turn driving up the agency prices (but not the wages) as they know they hold all the cards.
