Frank has talked a lot about the importance of the Chelsea spine and that spine running the changing room. In his short managerial career so far he has always brought in a very experienced centre half to compliment younger players with potential.

Hopefully his previous form is not a guide to his true ability. Horrible turning circle, gets caught for pace too often, with a scatter of red cards. I rather doubt he will be the answer.

What positions are lined up ? @Jimmy87

Must be Tavares. Not even in match day squad.

Frank won’t have come in without some assurances about transfers

I’d love to see an experienced centre half, new dynamic left back, cover at right back and cover for Tats ( assuming Raphael isn’t ready yet ) if he is then another driving CM.

I’m not saying he can’t do a steady job but he’s not the same threat. The second half yesterday with BTA one side and Rudi / Eccles the other we lost all of our attacking threat …. Instead of beating a man and drawing defenders on to them they simply held up play and passed it back to the full...

Rudi lacks the pace to be a threat out wide …. Good delivery but can’t run in behind or beat a man consistently.

Spot on. Rooney might be awful he might be ok but you can’t tell based on this Plymouth squad in the championship.

Lots of lazy comments re Rooney. Lowest playing budget by some distance, major players out injured, it is no surprise they are struggling.

Fair comments but Simms always gets shots off and Bassette rarely does.

I doubt Frank is panicking. I do suspect he thinks the defence and keeper options are worse than he first thought.

He can’t get in at Preston !. Next …..

I Wouldn’t spend much this window. We need the new Sporting Director in place to review our recruitment ahead of a busy summer window.

If people think Marty James is the answer to our problems then football might not be for them. James would not have prevented any of yesterday’s goals, he wouldn’t give us legs in midfield driving us forward with the ball.

First 20 mins he kept standing next to Frank when ever we had a set piece to defend …. As we became more and more shambolic defensively he stopped doing it 😂

More worrying for me is how poor must Dovin be in training if Frank continues to pick Collins. He’s been pretty awful since he came bank into the team.

I didn’t say it was heroic you plum.

Good. You won’t be missed.

I was sat about 25 ft directly behind Lampard yesterday. He never stopped coaching the players until about 10 mins to go. He was fixated on the fact our defenders were constantly in the wrong position, both on the pitch and relative to their attackers. His other focus was Bassette who he told...
