Argyle vs Reading (League Cup)

Given that the Royals are two leagues above us, and that we have a terrible record in the League Cup (3 wins in 23 years?) this is a home banker. Best we can hope for is keeping the score respectable.

Dorel
Miller, Songo'o, Bradley, Sawyer
Threlkeld, Carey, Fox
Jervis, Slew, Goodwillie

McCormick, Smith, Spencer, Donaldson, Purrington, Rooney, Ijaha.

Dorel, Fox, Jervis & Slew in for McCormick, Donaldson, Spencer & Ijaha.

On paper seems a stronger line-up than the one on Saturday.

Spencer dropped for Slew also

Doh!, didn't get my edit done quick enough - also just noticed that Jervis is in for Donaldson.

got my 20p on 2-0 Reading at 13/2

One down after 15 mins

Fook the football, lets send some money to Jim! I'm in for twenty.

2 - 0. Stuffing on the cards.

At this rate he'll need all he can get to pay off the newly 4 year contracted Adams when he's sacked... (2-0)

Hope this doesn't turn into a drubbing

That four year contract giving to Dezza Fletcher Adams, is looking like another Argo Masterstroke.

Let's just concentrate on the league

How long will it be till the farm start to turn on Del Bhey i wonder?

Could be a cricket score this if reading dont take there foot off the pedal second half

I might of mentioned this before, but when you sign misfits and rejects on a massive scale how do you get promoted this way ? Adams is starting to look more and more clueless.

This screams peter Reid era when he had to sign literally anyone to make a squad.

YET the idiots on pasoti refuse to see what is happening in front of them with brent at the helm. de ja vu.

'Tis true. I've gotta say the type of players Adams has brought in don't in any way at all compare to the ones we've lost.

By all accounts the playing budget is bigger than last year.

So how the f uck have we ended up with a squad that is largely dross?

I wanna know what the F#@k has happened to carey not the player of last season where everythink went through him and he looked class..but seems now thelkeld his trying to play that role but not very good at it

When you want players to move hundreds of miles for a short term contract with average/shit money, all you will get is the desperate and the damaged, yet Brent pleads poverty on nine thousand gates? its a real mess.

You can't make a silk purse and all that.

The upshot is that virtually every signing was either a misfit or a crock. Adams needed a bigger squad to cope with the loan rule changes but it seems his budget has not changed. Whatever quality we had has been spread thinner. feckin joke really.

The only bonus is I don't really care that much anymore.

With a bit of effort Argyle can still win...on fouls!

Luton (H) lost = well its 1st game of the season so give the players a chance
Reading (A) lose = well they are 2 divisions higher and its only the cup so who cares
Carlisle (A) lose = well, its the first away game and its a long way
Notts Cty (A) lose = we never win there anyway
Mansfield (H) lose = its getting better lads because we had a shot on target
Blackpool (A) lose = well, its only the second away game and its a long way
(fast forward to May)
Grimsby (A) lose = well, its only the 23rd away game and its a long way.

End of season assessment - Overall though, at least next season we get a derby game nearer than Excretia and we can go to North Ferriby which will be a new ground/field.

'ansome.

'tis the Janner way....
