Plymouth have just lost manager Steven Schumacher to Stoke City. Bit of a worrying time for Argyle fans now with the team hovering just above the drop zone. Schumacher has helped us punch above our weight and if we don't get a decent replacement it feels like we could be heading straight back down.

Stop...Hammertime
Having watched the last few games I'd now honestly put us to finish low-mid-table.
Rohl looks a good manager in the making, depends how long we hold onto him and what kind of support he's provided by the higher ups in January.
Ah well everyone, look on the bright side - at least you're not Blues! Wayne Rooney's tenure was short and not very sweet, but who's next for a huge payoff? I would love Steve Cooper or Ralph Hussenhatl but it's unlikely alas. Would'nt mind Tony Mowbray either. Frontrunners for the job seem to be Lee Carsley, Jesse Marsch and somewhat worryingly, Scott Parker!
I hope you get Cooper and not Yank Lampard. Why Birmingham sacked Eustace and replaced him with Rooney is beyond me. It's like when our genius chairman shitcanned Moore despite him getting us promoted and replaced him with Xisco, a total noob. At least Rohl has turned things around a bit and I'm SLIGHTLY more confident we'll stay up.

Seems Reading have decided to stave off relegation by selling any players we can in the January window, just as it looked like we might be getting a functioning football team together. Manager and director of football had no idea this was happening apparently.

Hob Nob Anyone? is all doom and gloom, with fans on twitter saying there's no point in buying tickets for future games as we will be out of business before the games happen.
How was our owner ever allowed to buy the club? This will be the third football club he has destroyed.

Fuck it, it's fine.
I hadn't even registered what was going on but fucking hell! The club was spending 245% of its income on wages? What the fuck? That's crazy.Seems Reading have decided to stave off relegation by selling any players we can in the January window, just as it looked like we might be getting a functioning football team together.

well its heating up in the race for the second automatic promo spot. Leeds, southhampton and ispwich all within a couple of points of each other.
The saints incredible run nearly came unstuck against huddersfield where they managed to come back from losing and won 5-3. but then they got thumped 3-1 by bristol city - so suddenly leaking goals. At the same time leeds are on fire having won 7 on the bounce and only conceeded 1 goal.
Ipswich have had a brilliant first half of season - but form has gone somwhat south since christmas.
Youd expect the stronger squads of southhampton and leeds will start to tell and it will see them stuggle to keep up
But - still some way to go 14/15 games.
Last day of the season - Leeds vs Southampton at Elland Road - id say the chances of them still being within 2 or 3 points of each other and it being a "winner takes all" situation are very high.
Leeds look faves - but only narrowly. MOT -

All kind of congested around the relegation zone now. Wednesday are now level with three other sides on 38 points and within 2 points of 16th - not bad given we were 9 points off safety a month ago. There'll be a few more twists and turns to come yet - but bring on dirty Leeds on Friday.
And we've got Ipswich tomorrow. It's so frustrating because we've managed to claw back quite a few points but we're still 23rd because of our shitty goal difference.
Beadle is love and I will miss him when he goes back to Brighton.
It's so tight at the bottom. Hopefully that game was the nadir of our season. Also, 8 GAMES?! Jesus!

We aint giving up mate. Little blip at christmas but we are hot on your heels (assuming you are Leeds). There's slip ups ahead for everyone though. It's the championship.
Leicester could even get a points deduction leaving Leeds and Ipswich the top two? Leicester breached financial rules

Just keeps getting better for Ipswich. Grinding out 1-nil wins whilst those around us drop points. Just fucking brilliant.
come on you lions
