That's disappointing, I see him doing well. Cheers PunjabiRam and hope you're doing well.

A good win but still not convinced about our promotion credentials. Last season Warne's team was the Graham Hick of division 1. Until we can start beating the better sides we can only hope for play offs at the best. Still need more quality up front and midfield, the areas where we lost our arguably best players.

Spart unconvinced …. quelle surprise.

Spart was born unconvinced......

I couldn't understand what we were trying to do in the first half. Wildsmith kicking into the strong wind was counter-productive and they picked up more second balls than we did. In the second half we were much slicker and quicker and should really have had 5 or 6.

As Warne pointed out, the game could have gone differently if some of our sloppiness at the back had cost a goal, as it might have done against a better team. The central defenders were better than last week but still looked a bit uncertain st times, hopefully still bedding in.

His astonishing miss aside, I thought Bird was magnificent, and Collins had an excellent game too, MOM for me.

As much as I hate to agree with Spart, if we don’t strengthen in midfield and get another striker in, I don’t think we will make the play offs.

We certainly need more variety in those areas.

The difference between those with doubt and those with faith. Had those with doubts never existed we would still be thinking the universe was only 6000 years old andVidal would be bleeding his patients to and early grave. Never trust those who have no doubts.

Collins would struggle to make MOTM in the lioness's games.

I think you are confusing faith with hope Spart. I would never say I have any faith in any aspect of my life, but I try to have hope.

If people had never had hope I wonder where we would all be. Presumably we would all have lain down and died a very long time ago. Never trust those who have no hope.

Its the hope that kills ya. 🤣

I guess Collo will have to score a hat-trick in every game in order to satisfy Spart.

I sincerely hope that we can hang on to Bird, in today's market is got to be worth about 10 million.

He certainly seems to have a fixation with Collins I wonder if he has spurned him at some time

An interesting and compelling theory. It would certainly fit with the available evidence, and as Spart himself would tell us, the most logical explanation is generally the correct one.

Originally rumoured as part of the Bielik deal. Maybe it’s just taken a while …

Seems to be an Alan Nixon generated rumour so I wouldn't consider it a strong possibility.

Jordan Rhodes anyone? Heard it from a friend who heard it from friend who heard on the grapevine that he doesn’t get on with Neil Warnock

The only player who got on with Colin was his lovechild goalie Paddy Kenny.

Sounds like a Spart type striker...14 appearances for Brum...0 goals.

Cracking record for free scoring Plymouth last season too, 33 games 8 goals.
