A bit of a steal for Boro down at Southampton. TBH, I thought that it would be a hammering. Boro have 7 players whose names I’d expect to see on the team sheet out injured, and you could add 3 more I’d expect to see on the bench. 2 fringe outfield players on the bench + a decent keeper but the rest were kids.

End of season can’t come soon enough, or to be more precise the next transfer window. There’s a good few that clearly aren’t good enough to push for the top 6, and a few others that aren’t even good enough for the Championship.

Dieng is a very good keeper. Surprised when he left QPR he didn’t go to a better club

Much needed win for Reading via another world class goal! Pretty scrappy performance and bailed out by Joel Pereira (ex Man Utd keeper) with a couple of nice saves.

Leeds and Leciester dropping points means only Leicester can equal our 106 record if they win every single game which is looking unlikely.

Rotherham officially down on Monday unless we beat Millwall - and as we haven’t won since Boxing Day I’m not expecting much 😢
Undoubtedly, you'll go down then play against us with complete abandon and win 4-0 😭😅

SO SO DEPRESSING for Argyle fans...

It was going fine up until Schuey left for Stoke, even after that we were still playing entertaining stuff with our Director of footie Dewsnip in charge...

Then in came Foster, Gerrard's assistant in Saudi, and tonight sees us not scoring a goal for 5 (FIVE!) consecutive home games... Gone from about 10 points off relegation to 1 and in 21st place.

MASSIVE games at Rotherham on Friday and home to QPR next Tuesday...we still have Leicester at home, Stoke and Millwall away and home to Hull last game of the season.

Was all looking so good and now just fizzling out like a damp squib...So disappointing 💚 💚 :sick::sick:

The Boro are finding a bit of form a bit too late. 11 first team players out injured but Latte Lath is back and scoring goals for fun.

I can’t see Sheff Wed catching you, they’ve got some tough matches, but Huddersfield have an easier run in.

Don't know if it's fans being stupid (who'd of thought that...:rolleyes:) but more than one person has posted that Argyle just about to announce Foster has been sacked.
Sadly I hope it's true. If he stays, we're down. If he goes, at least we may have a chance...

Let's see if the rumours are true...

The Telegraph and Talksport now saying Foster getting/has been sacked, they wouldn't say this without good inside info.

So 1 point above relegation, managerless again with 6 games to go and strikers haven't put the ball in the net for nearly 500 minutes at home...

Warnock in?

Going with your director of football as a temporary solution to the end of the season? I think that’s a better option than warnock, I don’t think a new person with different ideas is what you need right now.

From what I saw at carrow road, you’ve got the attributes to get the points you need no problem. But I got the sense playing on the break suits you, and perhaps you’re finding it harder when teams sit in a bit more when you’re at home?

Anyway, I think you can do it. Just need to find a way to free the players up from the pressure a bit and get them just playing without fear. Couple of wins and you’ll be away. Hope you do it, and I think you will.
