Gloucester Saint Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Lewis Payne has made both Cheltenham goals and best player on the pitch so far. Good start for Michael Flynn v Newport, his long-time club. Away end full, they’ve travelled over the border in good numbers. Then I posted the above and jinxed it. Lewis gave the ball away and further into the Newport move brought down his opposite number quite needlessly conceding a penalty. 2-2 at HT Edited August 10 by Gloucester Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) I've been reading Dave Roberts' books, including his wonderful The Bromley Boys, so I was pleased to see that Bromley FC, founded in 1892, played the first Football League game in their long history yesterday and won it 2-0. It's just a shame that Dave Roberts wasn't still alive to see it. The Bromley Boys: The True Story of Supporting the Worst Football Team in Britain "In the late 1960s, in the warm glow of England winning the World Cup, Dave Roberts, like most teenage boys his age, was football mad. There was just one difference: rather than supporting the likes of Arsenal or Manchester United, Dave’s team of choice was the ever so slightly less glamorous Bromley FC" Dave Roberts: Remembering a Bromley legend - Ronin Marketing Edited August 11 by Nordic Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Saint Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Maggie May said: He’s tearing it up. He is, but Plymouth are not set up right here at all. Wide open in midfield, getting caught in possession in their own half, and the front players are not in the game. Whittaker, a player Saints are rumoured to be tracking has had 5 touches of the ball tops. Wendies already singing ‘sacked in the morning’ to Rooney. Its so bad, Weds could and should have scored three more and Adam Forshaw has ‘Foreshaw’ on the back of his shirt.

Gloucester Saint Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) 2 hours ago, S-Clarke said: Maybe one day club owners will stop considering Wayne Rooney. He'll ruin Plymouth and it'll be too late for them this season before they realise. Barry Bannan is a good little player, but mid-30s now, and operates in certain midfield space. Even Martin managed to flood the midfield twice last season and stop that. Rooney names him as a threat but then plays a two man CM. I wish him well because I like Plymouth as a club but that performance today was as bad as anything Saints produced in Ralph’s later 2021/22, Pellegrino, Nathan Jones. Sturrock opening day at Villa was probably the easiest comparison in terms of how wide open midfield was and the low energy levels. The lack of organisation on the pitch was frightening.
