Might not need a big man once we get James back, lets wait and see. Eric and everyone played really well so cant see him being cut. A fine weekend for all Plymouth teams.

If proof is needed, look at the title of your last two posts...1) Any hope (summary: everything is doom & gloom in the sea of green)...2) Raiders beat Newcastle (summary: everything is rosey in the garden...roll on next game). I love this game

Starter Posts: 591 Group: Member Member #1,327 Joined: January 16, 2007	I take your point oldandgrey, but the doom and gloom merchants are the ones who are being unrealistic. I think the bulk of us understand what this season is all about, it has been made harder at the moment by James's absence through injury. But what a fantastic team performance yesterday, everyone really played to their absolute limit and gave everything they had. I am really pleased for Gary and the players today, because at last it should be clear to everyone that not only are the new players individually skilled but that they also have an incredible work and team ethic.

This season is fascinating and, looking from the outside, ok so yes, you've made a poor start, but you've only lost 2 games more than Newcastle!!! I'm a glass is half full kind of guy I guess! Hey who knows, you might still get home court advantage in the play-offs. This league is so wide open it's untrue...I couldn't even begin to guess at the order it will finish...hang on, I'll make one prediction...Caps won't win the league...other than that, I have no idea

Even though I thought Milton Keynes looked very strong last Saturday - both physically and in depth of squad, I still find it hard to bet against Newcastle who have been there and done it so many times before.

It was pretty touch and go when Ally panicked and threw the ball out of bounds!

Rookie Posts: 49 Group: Member Member #10,367 Joined: June 3, 2009	Couldn't go yesterday so I can't comment on how Eric played but he's young, new to the league and definately has talent. Last year Newcastle nursed Reggie Jackson through the first part of the season and see how he improved. I see no reason why we won't do the same with Eric. Big well done to Gary and the boys on beating the best team in the country.

Bench Player Posts: 227 Group: Member Member #9,801 Joined: September 10, 2008	Great performance by everyone yesterday. We certainly seem to have a great team spirit this year so I'm sure Gary won't risk spoiling that by cutting anyone.
