The trip to Home Park could have been a potential banana skin in the waiting....remember last season. But we've come out of the blocks like Usain Bolt Berlin style, while Plymouth look more like Dwain Chambers chasing Jamaican shadows. Was a good time to play the Pilgrims and it's one banana skin well and truly thrown thrown in the trash. The weekend visit of the Wurzels looks very tasty indeed, what with them showing early promise and now sitting in 5th.
Chorpa's start is very promising....very promising indeed. 6 goals in 3 Championship games is only 2 off his grand total at Sunderland. We're starting to see some return on the 4 million summer investment.
Injury crisis, what injury crisis. We lose a diminutive Scottish striker for up to 2 months, a Scot and an Irishman pick up knocks, and it's panic stations. Yes, the Plymouth bench resembled a youth club more than football club, but it's giving these spotty teenagers good experience. A first senior start for Adam 'Stan' Matthews is great in my view. If he keeps this up, we can sell him to Spurs for 3 million in the January transfer window.
The lack of midfield reinforcements still worries me greatly...enough to wake me screaming in cold sweats at 3am (no that's the medication). I know these things take time, but the transfer clock is TICKING.
It's still very early doors yet and I'm finding it very hard to get carried away... like most grounded supporters, but the future's bright. The future's very bright...hi-vis away kit yellow to be exact.
It's 3 games into the Championship, and I'm gonna stick my neck out already.
1st - Middlesbrough
2nd - Sheffield United
Play off winner - the mighty Bluebirds
