Fully appreciate why Fletch does not want to give detailed updates on the injury list and possible team selection ahead of games but it would be nice to get some sort of info. Even if only to say Griffiths is making progress or Lowry is now well on the road to recovery. Whilst Griffiths may or may not be the striker we need his non league record is excellent and we are at the point now when we have a midfield begining to gel, some good passing play - just need a proven net bagger to seal the points. Just a little hint of progress please!

I'd assume Lowry has around another 4 weeks before he's involved at all he got injured at Truro in pre season near the end of July and they predicted he'd be out for about 3 months.

Are we still in the market for that 'big striker'?

Say nothing Fletch, everyone wants tomorrow's news yesterday these days, f**k 'em, make 'em wait.

I like pleasant surprises, why do we have to have everything previewed and discussed making it 'old news' before it's even happened. It's not an Argyle thing, not even a football thing, TV shows endlessly tell you what's coming up next and even the news announces that things are going to be announced "later today".

If Griff appears, if we sign a player then why can't we just enjoy the positive moment instead of having that news drip fed and diluted in advance?

I blame twitter.

It's called keeping the fanbase excited and having a relationship with the club.

At the moment we know nothing and turn up for 90 minutes every other Saturday.

What happens though is that the fans excitement is actually REDUCED because they already know the news at the point it actually becomes news. And this 'relationship' stuff is bollox, I no less loved Argyle before the internet when stuff was announced in newspapers. Besides I'll stick to 'relationships' with real people.

Nobody waits for anything anymore, what happened to the joy of anticipation? Daughter #1 said she wanted a new laptop recently, I suggested saving up her money from her weekend job and buying one when she had enough. She looked at me as if I was wearing 11th century peasant clothing and informed me it'd take her "10 WHOLE WEEKS" so she was off to Argos.

Griff will be ready when he's ready, we'll sign someone when we sign someone, I don't get the needyness of modern life, everyone sounds like spoilt children.

If she waits ten weeks, she'll only have to save for three more weeks for a faster one

Ain't that the truth Mark. We digress but that just feeds the needyness in people, you should see the panic around my work colleagues as to how quick they can get an iphone 5. I asked yesterday what were the odds of all of their iPhone 4's breaking at the very same time and that if the 4 was so unreliable why have a 5? The sarcasm was completely lost on them.

Whatever happened to buying stuff to last, ooking after it and only replacing it when it breaks? I've got workboots that are older than some of my co-workers, yet they insist on having the latest 'gucci' kit and wonder why they're short of money :doh:

World's gone mad.

.........and Adam, I was actually dressed in 13th century peasants clothing, kids eh?, no accurate historical knowledge these days!

A faster computer would certainly help her when she is on Twitter.

Education, education, education my arse. What exactly do they teach them at school these days? :furious:

Surely the attire of peasants throughout the ages should be core syllabus content in Key Stage exams.

Agree entirely Presto It seems as if you dont read the WMN which i dont! you havent a clue as to what is going on.The Argyle website "news" is pathetic. Am afraid its the same old with Chadwick a few minutes on the pitch followed by a lifetime on the treatment table cannot for the life of me understand why we signed him again

The PAFC website is one of the worst I have seen - it is so bad I don't bother to look at it anymore. We do seem to be very competent at picking injury prone players. Lets hope we are getting our share at the beginning of the season and things improve going forward.
