You're looking at Jordan Slew... this is Jorome.

Hopefully he has turned it down. Then we can get an experinced manager in & not a loans manager Spot on ! Why? You've got no idea what Fletcher's going to be like, and no idea how a more experienced manager would get on. And how do you know that 'experience' at another club would be a more impo...

Really hope they haven't been affected by what fans are saying. They should just trust their judgement. Most fans talk absolute rubbish. I'm sure they wouldn't be swayed by all that 'we need an experienced manager' stuff. Nigel and Kent must have made 100s of big recruitment decisions and I'm sure g...

Bigger names available are just people who have failed somewhere else. I'm happy we're prepared to give a younger manager a chance. There are loads of relatively unproven managers doing well in League 2, Dave Artell at Crewe, Matt Taylor at Exeter, Michael Duff at Cheltenham, Richie Wellens at Swind...

I have two Plymouth supporting mates that think highly of Fletcher. Was seen as a bit of a hero in a desperate situation, was well liked and they're delighted it looks like he's getting another chance. Honestly don't know why people are so wound up about it - there's no guarantee any manager's going...

I don’t think Edinburgh or now Embleton had/have much confidence in Judd. I can see from a manager’s point of view Ling is much the more reliable option. Judd’s always seemed a bit brainless to me, and he’s done nothing to impress when he has had a chance recently. So until there’s a better right ba...

I reckon Brian McDermott is a good outside bet. Strong connection with Jobi who was his captain at Reading when they got promotion to the Prem.

I think it might be that Ling’s seen as more mature than Judd in terms of the way he plays. Judd’s a bit headless for me and there have been times when the occasion has got the better of him. There was a comment from Justin last year about Judd playing for himself and needing to grow up a bit. Ling’...

They've taken the WDL records of all the teams and awarded them points as per the modern 3 points for a win era. That's why we have 27 points on that table rather than the 21 we actually got in 1961-62.

Apart from the Murdoch argument - a totally different logo on the shirt changes the appearance so much that it stops looking like the shirts the players wear, which is surely the whole point. My kids don't want one with a talksport logo on it - they'd much rather have one without a sponsor. I know i...

Not really a Judd fan to be honest. Honest player but when fit and in form Ling is the better footballer.

I think it’s fine - a red badge on a red shirt always really annoyed me so I’m glad they’ve put a background on it but I agree that a circle might have worked better. It’s just a bit unfamiliar at the moment, but we’ll get used to it.

I don't mind the badge. Printing a red badge on a red kit always seemed daft to me.

Josh Hare’s the best right back in the league - would be a definite improvement on what we’ve got.
