Plymouth away, looks an absolutely daunting prospect at present. In 41 days of the transfer windows we've managed 2 loans and 2 signings with 16 days to go before the season starts we have some serious work to be done to be ready. Safe to say the milestone of making significant early progress in the transfer window has passed and that element so far can be ticked off as a failure. We are almost at 50% of the total transfer window time gone, 45 days for Mladen to save himself, if there's been any element of truth to half the rumours then our hit rate has been appalling so far.
A couple of years ago I made a jokey comment of ‘when we beat Port Vale 7-0 first game…’. Wish I’d stuck a quid on it, so don’t make the same mistake as me, get down to the bookie’s first thing.
Tbf, regardless of what team we put out, we usually lose if we’re away for the first game. Wasn’t West Brom the last away opener we won?
I can hear the excuses now, 'time needed to get up to speed after no pre season'....... 'Need time to gel'. After a poor start, the spiel then becomes 'We look ahead to January to try and save the season' Bull$hit, fail, repeat is the new motto
