I think we must be just working to a different calendar to other teams where pre-season ends in October and we are crowned champions next August as no one turned up to our matches in June and July. |

I didn't realise that Liam Kelly is now Rangers' reserve goalkeeper. |

Clearly Stephan was told to play the youngsters at Plymouth and I suspect told that Walsh is going to be our keeper. The problem with this is you start to wonder what else he is being told to do and any decision he makes comes with that doubt. All very well if we're winning but if we have a poor run like last season he's the man in the spotlight, not the powerful figure in the shadows. |

Yes, Spurs had the better of the game...wild they were relegated the next season.
Loved Pat Jennings wearing no gloves, the ref playing on even when two of our players were down injured (as players take the piss these days) and Frank McLintock's perfect slide tackle in the penalty box. |

It was a moronic decision. Plymouth was a winnable game - play some kids alongside some first teamers, get through to the next round and your fans - including your hardcore loons travelling hundreds of miles on a Tuesday - are happy.
Forfeit the game and then inevitably lose on the Saturday and you just look stupid. You then have a tough away game the following week, which you will do well to get a point from.
People have said the crowd yesterday was aggy towards half-time...win against Plymouth and the optics and vibes are better.

He was very good against Preston. It's a tough ask to play in a completely different position and expect the same performance. |

While I agree with some of the things he is doing (i.e. focus on younger players), Nourry hasn't achieved anything yet - yes, I like the direction of travel in terms of signing Poku, Kone, etc. but let's see how we perform this season.
It's bizarre how we still have Belk in charge of scouting yet now we're actually signing a higher calibre of player - does Nourry have a better computer than Les did? |

As a 'bedwetter', I think it sends completely the wrong message out, particularly as the club was tweeting beforehand about the new badge we can wear on our shirts as previous winners! Also, Stephan comes out of it looking like Nourry's cuck, particularly with that weird interview.
However, if we win at Watford, it's forgotten till the next time. If we get beaten, it looks dumber than ever though... |

Again, this is not about 'bedwetting'. I just don't understand the logic of going 'all in' with that squad last night - you more or less guarantee losing the game when a victory with some youngsters playing would deliver the best of both worlds and provide a nice bounce for Saturday. It smacks of arrogance frankly. |

I'm sure if we'd put out a team of supporters they'd have given 100% and given up a lot of opportunities too. Less potential resale value though, obviously.
It is a bit worrying how pleased he is.  |

Yes, that's what I find most bizarre. Why not play a few youngsters, win the match and build some confidence for Saturday? Forfeiting it doesn't achieve anything. Will a young player sink or swim based on getting 10 minutes in a League Cup game against Plymouth? Of course not.
One thing is clear: Stephan is Nourry's man and will follow his instructions whatever the consequences. A very different scenario to last season. |
