The dugout

Josh Thomas: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Plymouth Argyle have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Plymouth Argyle

Fréderic Soelle Soelle and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Leo McCormick out for 26 days

The medical room confirms 26 days on the sidelines for Leo McCormick, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Aribim Pepple signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Aribim Pepple and Plymouth Argyle agree another 4 years.

The dugout

Murphy Cooper knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Plymouth Argyle, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Conor Hazard is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Plymouth Argyle has been clear about where Conor Hazard stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Mathias Ross gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

When it matters, Callum Wright plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead

Junior Quitirna faces his old club

Wycombe Wanderers next, and one man in the Plymouth Argyle dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Match

A hiding for Plymouth Argyle

Beaten 0‑5 by Leyton Orient, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market

Krasnodar come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Plymouth Argyle did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Leo McCormick out for 55 days

The medical room confirms 55 days on the sidelines for Leo McCormick, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

No hiding place for Brendan Galloway

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Brendan Galloway, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Inquest at Plymouth Argyle

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Plymouth Argyle

Something was said to Xavier Amaechi and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑5 defeat, delivered by Mark Harvey to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

5 past Murphy Cooper

Whether it was the goalkeeper or the ten in front of him is the argument that will fill every conversation in town this week. 5 saves does not settle it either way.

Squad

A ban for Brendan Galloway

One booking too many, and a game watched from the stand. Plymouth Argyle lose him for the most avoidable reason in the sport.
