Really hard to predict what Argyle will turn up on Saturday.

Optimistically, I can see a performance like Barnsley, more zip, less mistakes, the players are more match fit and we scrape another win or a credible draw with even a goal from Ennis or Jephers off the bench.

Pessimistically, we look like our confidence has been bruised by two losses. Despite a bright start, more missed chances and Peterborough’s clinical firepower proves too much and it results in a 3-1 loss and Pasoti is in meltdown for 48 hours after! Relegation is mentioned and everyone starts questioning why we are buying a big screen instead of a big centre forward. 🤪

If we keep possession like we did in the 2nd half and be positive in attack then we just need to work out how to get the ball past their monster in goal, the 6ft 13 in (😀) Chelsea loaned !! COYGs

As a matter of interest how does he rate against Cooper ?

He was superb, owned the box, great reaction save from Ennis, and full stretch push around the post.

Mind you our forwards couldn't hit a cows Ar** with a banjo on Wednesday.

A step above. It’s why he is a chelsea player.

Interesting,so if on a good day we could get a few million for a Cooper what price on Bergstrom.

Well considering Bazunu, who’s at another top PL team and had a season of L1 experience went for 15m, maybe Bergstrom will be worth similar at the end of the season.
