What is the plan for a parade if we do get promotion this weekend?
Last year we had a celebration in Christchurch park - is that likely to happen again do you think? And when? |

Thread | Racist shouting in lower SBR stand
at 09:03 16 Jan 2023
I had a clearly drunk "fan" near me on Saturday shouting some despicable things at Plymouth's black players and just shouting foul language the whole time . Absolutely shocked by some of the things he was saying - told his mate next to him to have a word with him. As i said this his mate then shouts the "N" word and you could see those around him were clearly uncomfortable with him and shocked and a few of us around him told him what we thought of that.
I went to a steward at half time to report it and she was very good and told me it would be handled and thanked me for reporting it. But, they waited to full time to pull him aside. Rather disappointed with that as the fans around him - especially the elderly couple in-front of him, were clearly uncomfortable with him.
Hope he is banned for life - couldn't believe what i was hearing.

Thread | Paul Cook Interview
at 13:10 5 Jan 2022
Completely agree with his comments.
First off I should say I was and still am a Paul Cook fan. But, when Michael O'Leary had his first interview with the club - he said Paul Cook was their choice and they were kept in the loop when the managers were being interviewed. So he was the new ownership's team and Michael O'Leary's man too.
The big difference seems to be Mark Ashton - which is funny as he kept talking about giving the team time at the start of the season - and to have 19 new signings creating a completely new starting 11 - time was essential. I could see things starting to gel in October and admittedly they also fell apart after shortly after. But to give a manager the resources and backing to create a whole new squad under his image - and then to offload him with less than half a season gone - seems ludicrous. As PC said - if he was told he needed to be near or in the playoffs at least by November - then the job wasn't right for him. That overhaul needed time to pay off.
It sounds like the team Mark Ashton employed to work with the team didn't match the ethos of Paul Cook - and that is a great shame. Because whilst I am happy there is a constant team that will be there to continue their job and create stability - Mark Ashton can move on just as quickly as previously seen and take that team with him to a new club. So that also doesn't sit right with me - Paul Cook was the manager and should be able to run how that team works with his squad.
I feel for him - and I think it shows how much the job of manager/coach has changed in recent years. I hope he gets a job again soon and does well. And i hope PC was wrong an McKenna can make this squad gel in time for a playoff push. |

Thread | Kevin Beatie Statue Likeness
at 17:35 18 Dec 2021
First off, it looks fantastic. Great pose and really does look powerful and well done.
But considering the likeness of Sir Alf and Sit Bobby were done so well, am I the only one who thinks the face doesnt really look like Kevin Beatie?
The only reason I say it was because the other two were done so well and the standard set is so high. |

Thread | Season ticket holder 2x free tickets
at 10:08 3 Aug 2021
Can't get through to the ticket office - so can anyone help me out?
As a season ticket holder they said I would get 2x free tickets for home matches. I can see the code in my account - like how they shared the iFollow codes, for these tickets.
But I can't work out how to use them - are they valid for the Morecombe game?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Thread | End or a era
at 12:16 10 May 2021
Before Mick McCarthy - we were very unstable. Year after year we would have completely new squads, with a mass exodus of loans leaving or new signings. We would have new managers in with new ideas and never had anything to build on. We never had any spine to build around or any stability. It was one thing i hated - it never felt like we were building.
Then McCarthy came in and gave us that consistency - that longer term plan and we had players that would be her longer term and that built a great team to be proud of. Chambers and Skuse were a massive part of that and we have to be thankful to them. The last few years have been awful - but they never shied away and were always there. I for one will be sad when/if they depart this summer. I understand that they do have to leave - but it will be said to see players who have given their all for so long go. Especially to no crowd - definitely feel they deserve a testimonial. But feel it would not go down well with alot of supporters.
Chambers has been a great captain - maybe performances have been inconsistent and he has been at fault. But my God does he care and he has gone far and beyond what a captain should do. Housing our younger players? What a guy! And then his infamous fist pumps at the end of a win - he really has been a great asset to this club. And a great captain.
Skuse is/was a tidy midfielder and has been very loyal to us and been a ever present since his arrival. He didn't get the headlines - but a important part to our stay in the championship and in getting to the play offs.
I will be sad to see the back of them - a new era is needed and they will need to go. But i hope we don't go backwards and we get players with their passion and pride who will stay longer term to build for future seasons and not just to get out of league 1. |

Thread | Midfielders dont want the ball
at 12:30 4 Mar 2020
Nolan was rubbish yesterday - and i watched him closely. He never wants the ball, and when he gets it, he just passes it so he doesnt have it. It's never a pass forward, or looking forward to see if he can travel forwards - its always sideways and backwards. He is just a pointless midfielder.
We just need to get midefielders on the ball and pass it through them. Dozell had an kay game - few good passes and looked positive. Sometimes he didnt chase back and lacked urgency - but some of his passes were more positive than anything the others did. Judge, very similar small flashes - but just feel he needs better players around him on the same wave length - which he had with Dozzell on a few instances.
I really like Bishop - only positve midfielder we have and needs to start. Play him deeper and get his to take the ball off the defenders/goalkeeper and let him take it forward. Same with Huws - positive midfielder.
I dont want to see Skuse or Nolan play anymore - pointless midfielders who arent positive. We dont need midfielders whos only job is t keep the ball moving - because that others nothing. We need midfielders to be positive and look forward!! [Post edited 4 Mar 2020 12:36]

Thread | Who's fault is it?
at 09:51 4 Mar 2020
Large sections of the crowd last night chanted "Marcus Evans get out of our club" - and while i agree the club needs better investment... with the predicement we are in, he is not the person who should be targeted.
Paul Lambert has not taken this team any further - he interhited a diabolical squad - Paul Hurst really has screwed us. But as a "Manager" you would hope he would have done something with the squad and seen a direction of where he is taking it. After last night - i have to admit i think his time is up. There was nothing there to tell me he has a handle on this squad, has any idea how we sghould play, know our strengths or that he has any tatical prowess.
Once the players go on the pitch it is on them - but what is the game plan they are told to exectue? Because either there is none, the players arent doing it properly or Lambert really did want us to lump it up to Keane every chance we get. Either way, it is embaressing. We need a new manager to come in and actually coach this side and have a distinct style of play that we can stick too and at least enjoy! |

Thread | This is definitely a Lambert issue not a ME one ...
at 17:00 24 Feb 2020
Right, I think we all know we have a very decent squad for League 1. It came down from the Championship and we only lost a few players that came down. The lac of investment is not the issue - i believe a bette manager would be able to utilise the squad we have.
Looking at it - we have an abundance on midfielders. Bishop, Downes, Huws, Dozell, Nolan and Skuse. With such an array of midfielders it baffles me that we hardly see anything of them. A better manager would coach these pplayers to play to a style or a game plan - there is no style of play from Lambert and he doesnt play the ball through midfield at all. We dont play attractive football, and we dont play with any style or intent to play a certain way. The ammount of times me hoof the ball only for Keane and Jackson to loose the 50/50 challenges is staggering... and yet we cntinue to try it. Over and over and over again.
The managers job is the construct the team and lead them in to a way to play and coach them in the way he wants them to play. And Lambert clearly is not doing this. I cant understand why and how our players belive it is a good idea to hoof the ball long. I just don't get it.
A good cach wouldnt need to invest in the squad we have to get promoted and i am jealous of some of the so called smaller teams we have played. Oxford being one of them. We do have a good enough squad - we dont have a good enough manager to utlisie it. |

Thread | What is Paul Lamberts plan?
at 10:33 5 Feb 2020
My biggest issue right now, as it has been for the whole season, has been the playing style. Whilst it has kept us in the top 6 for the season up until now - it hasn't been the the best to watch. When Mick McCarthy left i thought there would be more emphasis on a better playing style and that hasn't been the case. We try and play it on the floor across the defence a bit more, before the likes of Wilson or Chambers get scared and hoof it long. We are simply not using our midfield enough and i just dont get why.
Our current game plan is hopelessly hoofing it long and hoping eith Jackson can get in behind or Keane/Norwood win the battle for a header .... both of which rarely ever happen. I don't get what Lambert does with his players during the week ... what does he teach them and what is he telling the players to do for the games. We have had some good periods of exciting fotball and we have been a great watch at times - but against the bigger more physical sides we just don't play. Are we to scared to try and play football or do we just get bullied? Either way - we arent convincing, even when we win. This side is not ready to be promoted, if we go up we would need investment to keep us up and that isnt likely to happen. Playing the style we are now isnt going to help us - we need get our midfield working and playing through it and playing balls through to Jackson and Norwod instead of hopeless 50/50 balls in the air and over the top.
We need to put more faith in the midfield and allow them to get the ball and use it rather than launch it from the back. [Post edited 5 Feb 2020 10:34]
