McBurnie? No thanks.
Referred to ( wrongly ) as a cart horse by some Sheffield fans, he’s not the natural goalscorer that we need. He did ok here last time but he certainly wasn’t prolific. 22 in 58 games is nothing to get excited about and yet he’s not got anywhere near that at his other clubs. His wage demands might well be too much anyway hopefully. |

A very good Swansea City performance. Individually and collectively we were at a decent level. And tactically too. Within team sport, when most or all of your players are on song as they were today you will usually win. And it firmly puts to bed any nonsense only a few days ago about “ having to win to avoid a revolt “ or something along those lines.
Congratulations to LW and all involved. Luke continues to do a fine job.
It’s so easy to reflect negatively after a defeat . To be wise after the event. If only we had done this or that…..
10th place is better than par for us at the moment. Please remember this. And for the gloom and doom merchants out there try to take some positivity and joy from these games. It might help you to start enjoying things a bit more. |

But of a silly title unless it’s tongue in cheek
We are doing ok. Mid table is a decent return. Of course losing to Hull was disappointing but par for us this season based on budget and where we stand as a club is around 13-16th.
These are two tough games as all are in this league. |

A former manager Russell Martin gets sacked.
That’s football and it happens. He’s handled the pressure quite well and of course we all know that big bucks will considerably soften the blow.
But some of the childish jealous petty remarks on here are beyond belief. Even comments that bring his partner into it. Remarks about her appearance as well. How incredibly sad and shallow some people are. Get a grip chaps. Football manager loses job. It happens. Why the hatred? |

You can’t of course but I’d suggest that the staff at Plymouth are not doing their jobs properly. There will or should be constant monitoring and assessment by staff of player fitness levels and that includes weight and body fat. This is not the Dog & Duck Pub team. Plymouth and Rooney need to be offering a detailed explanation as a fit and firing Obafemi can keep them in the Championship. |

Obafemi is a disgrace to allow himself to pile the pounds to that extent although with clubs top heavy now with a back room staff that includes coaches, sports scientists, performance analysts as well as team managers and assistants Im not sure how it’s been allowed to happen at Plymouth. What condition was he in when he got there on loan as you’d like to think that Plymouth wouldn’t have signed him (on loan) if he wasn’t fit enough. |

Best to take all of his comments with a very large pinch of salt. He’s either on a permanent wind up

The league table I looked at shows that Plymouth are usually a tough nut to crack at their own ground with a home record that matches or is better than the likes of Norwich Middlesbrough West Bromwich Albion Blackburn etc all top half of the table clubs.
And as it’s the Championship anything can happen. Comments like “ show no mercy “ and “ go for the jugular “ just show a complete lack of understanding. It’s winnable of course but it’s loosable too if that’s a word 😃. |

A good Swans performance today in very difficult conditions and a point away from home in the Championship is always commendable especially at a club who were in the Premier League only six months ago. Dominated goal attempts which is not easy away from home but disappointing to have not scored one or two more given some of the good work that went into creating the openings.
We can all see where we need to be stronger which is up front. We look good enough to finish mid table hopefully though which will be a decent enough return. |

Indeed. They were not a good fit for our club for many well documented reasons and history has now shown that to be the case. Jenkins can take the blame. I still can’t believe he got away with it. And not only him. |

“ Parachute Money “
For relegated Premier league clubs.
You’ve omitted that.
It helps clubs consolidate in the lower division and many are therefore equipped to go straight back up. We weren’t and still aren’t. They were hopeless of that there is no doubt. |

at 19:13 28 Nov 2024
Key needs to concentrate on his defensive positioning and spacial awareness. There are too msny occasions where he is out of position. The Leeds game being a good example. In contrast he’s got an outstanding ability to get forward and quickly. With some work on his positional sense he could make Angel Rangel Mk2 as he’s talented enough albeit it’s a bit raw as it was initially with Angel when he switched from his right midfield role. |

at 23:13 27 Nov 2024
What a strange game that was.
An excellent 20/25 minutes from us with two very good goals but after that we hardly got forward. IA final total of 3 goal attempts from us and 18 from Derby sums up their domination for 3/4 of that game but their finishing was poor. We converted two of our three chances and there in lies the difference tonight.
Lots of positives including an outstanding goalkeeper as well. Into the top half and that’s better than I expected.
We are certainly improving . By the way had there ever been a more frustrating footballer than Ronald who was awful again tonight in possession apart from that one crucial moment … |

We need assurances firstly from the governing bodies but if we get those then we definitely should re-enter the Welsh FA Cup. It would be good for the gsme and clubs in Wales too in terms of the interest it would generate. I used to enjoy the Welsh Cup. Something different and welsh derbies are always of interest. |
