I think we should forget about this 'long journey' stuff, it's what footballers have to do and we are not too badly situated geographically are we, imagine if we played in Europe how would we cope.

I think that performance above any will convince the new owners that, if financially possible, we should secure the services of the loanees.

If the new owner/investor is not prepared to commit to keeping the loanees now, prior to completion of the deal, then I fear the deal may be dead.  We will know at the end of January if not before.

I would imagine every team in the country is training today with the prospect of a game boxing day. You would think they would be in even if they won.

Maybe I missed something but it looked like just the fringe players out for less than hour to me.

Really winds me up that 17hrs after the match I still can’t go on the official website and see what the manager has to say unless I pay money.

This. Especially if the club get a standard cut and don’t get more money for each subscriber.

Maybe it’s just because of my own health issues but I take a day for my movement to recover from the long journey from Plymouth to Oldham.

Definitely not just fringe players, and they were out from at least 10 till 12...

He came on from the bench in the next game. Think he has been on the bench since too. But certainly hasn’t started since, and rightly so and not just because Gevaro has been playing well. 

Well not on the bench for Doncaster or Plymouth and not seen him on the bench for quite a few games now

[Smiler13]

Looks like he’s packed his bags and gone pack to parent club like Jack Ruddy

O dear Mr wellens..

The honeymoon period is well and truly over.

And if you ask me, so is the investment/takeover.

 

Think black clouds are gathering over BP.

[Bobledgersheart]

Amazing how the doom merchants surface after a loss. Just what any Latics fan needs at a time like this, a good dose of negativity !

Well jell that corney can afford to run a club while you just sit at home making up loads of BS? Think corney leads a more glorious life than you. Not a corney fan at all but, hate those who make up BS. Why not enjoy the festive period? Instead of coming on here and making it up shit, feel sorry for you.

Not sure in that case why Abdullah arrived at  Plymouth with Corney on the team coach, that is a fact that I saw with my own eyes,so no I don't need to "ask" you. It's people like you that are the "black clouds" over BP.

Wellens said in his Thursday interview they would be in today for a recovery session because he wanted to give them Christmas day off.

Whether or not the takeover happens, Wellens is far from losing the plot.  Yesterday was a shit result and he made some bad decisions, but the way he has us playing is very good and a vast improvement from the last 2 seasons.

 

The only question mark for me is how good he is in the transfer market (which he'll need to be in January) but he has shown he's more than capable of getting a team functioning well.

From the Plymouth forum.  Hard to know how valid it is but interesting if true:

 

"Pre game today I had the joy of a 5 minute chat with John Harbin. He was setting out cones looking around and I waved and put my thumb up. He waved back, and encouraged to come down for a chat. I dually accepted. He spoke nothing but highly about Argyle and Plymouth in general. He said our infastructure is entirely the same, and admitted yes it isn't great but said it was better than theirs. He was delighted to hear the Grandstand had finally been approved. He mentioned that Oldham had a player called Queensy Menig on loan from a Dutch club, they recently sent him home as he doesn't feature in Wellens' plans. He said he was on 10K a week, and they had to fund the majority of that money. In my eyes, it was an eye opener. A top guy and as I gather an even better coach. I wish him and Oldham luck for the recent of the season."

Lots of ill players couldn't feature why is the honeymoon period over I'd rather judge him on a fit team and actually when he has had his chance to sign his own players in January anything else is fucking stupid shit day at the office next!!!
