Blades v Pilgrims

Club record score today or surprise coupon buster [remember them]? Somewhere in between probably.

3-0

I am dreading it, poor old Coops.

Only positive is that Sheff U don't tend to score many, so I don't think we'll get hammered. However, despite buying a really cheap keeper, they don't seem to concede many either.

2v0 to the Blades.

there back 3 or 4 without without cooper solid as a rock ..but we know only to well his weak spots cooper don’t still come of his line for crosses & corners still and if we’re lucky to get a couple of corners we crowd him out surround close two in front of him 2 behind him and one by his side hassle & jostle he will flap just as other clubs use to do to us when he played for us

No one seems to score many until they play Argo. Today will be on a par with Sheff Wed, Cardiff City, Bristol City, Norwich City performances. Fair play to Argo fans travelling, as there's no way I would. Far too embarrassing.

Another very heavy defeat

Just seen the team-WTF!

My best guess is that there are about 6 personell/positional changes. And the players will have had just one day's training on this line up.

Rooney has lost the plot big time, unless there's a minor miracle today it would be a kindness to put hin (and us) out of his misery and let him go.

He's on course to be worst Championship manager twice in a row.

Surprised it took 20 minutes for Blades to score. Can see them getting at least another 3 before HT.

FFS do something hallett

Hasn't SH gone back to the States?

We'll be relegated before he sacks Rooney.

Much better performance today by all accounts but the plain fact is that Argyle have scored 3 goals in 11 away games and that is a mega disaster. Bad news when a 2-0 defeat is interpreted as encouraging, only real good news today is that Hull and Oxford lost but crumbs from the masters table really. Doesn't look as though Rooney will be sacked so the only hope is that the injuries clear up sooner rather than later and that the reinforcements in January prove to be a vast upgrade on the current players on the books. Grim times.

We'd better hope the injured players coming back improve us because January's reinforcements, if we get any on a hallett budget, will more than likely be:

-A Premier League kid on loan - one who is destined only ever to play first team football at best at L2 level if Argo hadn't signed him

-A crap player from a foreign league selected using Argo's seriously flawed data analytics

And the managerial merry-go-round starts up again.

Oxford sack Buckingham, Wolves sack O'Neil. Schumaker rumoured to be of interest to Milwall after Harris departs.

Wolves rumoured to be after Ole Gunnar Solskear. If he gets the job, will he offer Phelan a better deal than the 6 months Argyle have given him?



Time to get rid of Rooney before any decent replacements get an offer from someone else. But SH won't do that because it would mean admitting he made a mistake hiring him in the first place.

it seems star struck won’t sack him ..so it seems halletts is quite happy to see us get relegated & battered every week then …..yeah that’s way to go super sigh …we can all see where this going dogshit L1 again

I see Oxford aren't waiting until it's way too late before acting

indeed at any other club Rooney would have got his marching orders after the Norwich humiliation but not us we’re leave it till we can’t do anythink about it as per usual …watch

Russell is the third manager to be sacked today. And Rooney still dodges the bullet.

All the decent managers will be snapped up wat before Rooney resigns/gets booted and we'll end up with another of Dewsnip's clueless mates.

It's pretty much certain we'll lose again against Boro on Saturday. Is hallett's only strategy to continue to pretend everything is OK and stay silent? Even if he does act it's going to be difficult to attract a new manager when we're rock bottom of the table with no budget heading into the business end of the season.

Even Pep, who is fast is turning into the Prem's version of Rooney, admits he's not good enough!

cos of the present climate in the Arab world city don’t seem to be splashing cash on the best players in the world lately plus his got a few aging players in there mid 30s who need replacing and need to rebuild that’s why he debated signing for another year cos every club he’s been they have let him buy the best players in the world
Now his not buying the best in the world …could it be he is just average manager when suddenly can’t buy the best players in the world …..just a thought

Interesting question.I suppose you have to spend it well for the most part even though the margin for error is greater if zillions are available and he has done that at different clubs in all fairness. It would be a good test of his management if he went to somewhere like Stoke [for arguments sake] with a reasonable but not huge budget and with a remit to get them up within 2 years-his resourcefulness would need to be spot on, would be fascinating to see. Never believed all of that crap about him inventing false 9's,inverted full backs, high press and all the rest of it-previous ideas dressed up in ridiculous jargon.
