Matches Plymouth Argyle vs Oxford United

[ASeaOfYellow]

This could potentially be a KEY game -- Are Argyle there for the taking now that Rooney has left the building?
Since this is a rescheduled game; following its postponement in December, will they (at home) be a different proposition ?
Can we secure the three precious away points and move up the table before we take on Blackburn Rovers the following Saturday?
This is definitely another SIX POINTER !!

Will Plymouth have the “new manager “ bounce?

How the tell-nothing sport documentary craze failed its viewers

Wayne Rooney’s exit was a reminder of how common the fly-on-the-wall club documentary has become. The age of perpetual content is upon us, and it is viciously uninteresting

www.theguardian.com

"The plan was to sell the finished product to a streaming service like Amazon or Netflix, thereby boosting the club’s coffers and stamping Plymouth Argyle on the cultural map with a force that games away to Preston and Oxford United alone can’t quite muster."

Catching strays from the Guardian.

Quietly confident that this well be our 2nd league away win, and first double of the season- reckon it'll be a hard won 1-2 ,TG & Shemmy

What a pathetic and misinformed comment. If they had said Preston, Blackburn, and Burnley, for example, it would have made sense, but there's more culture in Oxford than the rest of the Championship put together!

Like all plans that try to be too clever it had a big f*****g Wayne Rooney sized hole in it.

I'd say at most a draw. I dont think they'll be there for the taking. But I agree, it'll be a hard won game if we win.

These snippets from the Championship reddit were funny to read at the time (I think a day after a loss):

It is but you can’t beat being there ! A ground I haven’t been to, so looking forward to this one. Will be a long day but hopefully worth it !

It does seem that way - edgy ! This is just about as opposite a managerial appointment to Rowett as you could get ! It’s a bit like Stoke when they went for the Norwich coach and have now seen the light and gone down the tried and trusted route. In fairness to our board, they seem to have recognised exactly what a championship relegation scrap needs. Plymouth’s last three appointments - Foster, Rooney and Muslic - all seem a bit fanciful and wrong man at wrong time.

 

[holdsteady]

One of those appointments that either really pays off or is a disaster, no middle ground. Although the situation the Rooney appointment has left them in I suppose what is there to lose, they almost had to double down.

 

[Jster]

Yeah, am surprised they didn't just go for Schumacher (or indeed Lowe) again.

Yes, very weird. Like they want to keep shooting themselves in the foot. Let's hope not famous last words...

Assuming these are all outside the ground? (no jokes, I know there isn't going to be a van inside the ground, you know what I mean)...
It sounds good, but when you think about it, pretty much all pastys count as locally made down there, Ginsters are a sponsor, etc...

I'm going for disaster on this one - guy has no UK experience, no glittering record, and no apparent playing history.

I'd be raging if we torpedoed our season like this.

He did, however, take a small Belgian club from obscurity into playing European football.

... but I agree, weird appointment for this level.

No Brannagan?
Negru won’t play either. It will be Kioso right back and Long CB.

Didn't sound overly positive from Rowett today. Said he pulled up in training on Friday. Though said earlier in the week he was going for a scan, so assume scan has shown no issues for him to be training.

Just watched the MOTD highlights vs Brentford.
If they play like that on Tuesday, we will struggle.

 

[ttg17]

REALLY annoying timing for us. They’re better at home, just had their best result of the season and new manager bounce possibility. Would take a draw. Must not lose.

Agree that they played well, but they’ll be knackered, whereas we’ve rested players.
