Wild appointment in a relegation battle that. Hasn’t done a full season in a top league in over a decade (possibly ever, depending on your view of the Portuguese league)

2025 - Plymouth Argyle

Made hard work of it though. Doucoure, massive mistake to have him playing now.

He provides energy only. He’s very poor on the ball. Probably the easiest upgrade in the starting XI.

Stella?

That's down the hatch . I'm on the smallies now

And a blind squirrel can still find an acorn.

It was our biggest away win in top flight football since beating Coventry in 1980 and second biggest away win since beating Bolton in 1890 !

Amazingly bleak stats lol

Two weeks ago there were five teams cut adrift. Now there are four. Lovely.

We're in the same position we were in when Dyche was sacked.

I know David. Shows how much of a shocking position SD left us in. Only one point above the drop zone.

Still the new management has got a 66% win rate and has us 7 points clear of the drop zone and in touch with the pack above. A win against Leicester could bring us into mid table contention.

Surely even you can grant yourself a smile looking at the table. I won’t say we’ll continue to push up the table as I’m experienced enough to know football can be cruel but it’s a better feeling than any Dyche period this season.

He was excellent today. There’s been a few times I’ve thought he was finished but today he was a class act.

We're in the same position we were in when Dyche was sacked.

One point ahead of the bottom three. Now seven (eight really considering GD) and two wins on the spin. Same place in the table, yes, but in a far better position.

Dry yer eyes lad.

 

[johnjoeefc]

I actually think we performed very similar in this game to how we did against Bournemouth away. So it's a bit harsh to say moyes masterminded anything dyche couldn't. The Tottenham game of course you could say that.

But getting that penalty today was the difference maker and the players dug in.

Any idea what the handbags at the end was about btw?

 

[Bob Latchford]

This three substitution slots in a game could have cost us. No idea why that was brought in. Seems ridiculous

Yeah it’s a strange one for sure but I thought we were brilliant with 10 men. Unbelievably organised but with so much belief and conviction.
