Kelland Watts made his Plymouth debut at home against Blackpool. The Pilgrims grabbed an early lead through Welsh U21 international Luke Jephcott, who headed home a 3rd-minute cross. The visitors had the lion’s share of possession but Plymouth held strong to take all three points. They’ll face Leyton Orient in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Goalkeeper Jake Turner was handed his debut for Morecambe as they traveled to face Cheltenham. Striker Alfie May gave Cheltenham the lead with a 26th-minute goal after a cross fortuitously bounced off the bar and landed at his feet. The Shrimps leveled the match when they were awarded a penalty in the 78th minute which midfielder Adam Phillips converted. Striker Carlos Mendes Gomes gave Morecambe a late victory on a counter-attack in the 92nd minute. Turner faced 17 shots, 8 of which were on target as he helped Morecambe get off to a winning start.

Comment #2Darnik,
He didn’t concede two. Guatia would have got two points plus four for a CS and I’m assuming two save points, you get a point for every three saves. I bet he gets bonus points as well which I can’t explain.

Comment #3Tom
Ow do mate. He played a blinder today. Really impressed me. I’ve told him all week I need to see him battle more, work hard on the ball and off the ball. Showed him this week how to use his body strength and you’re arms as you are in control of the ball. Tried to get a winning mentality installed in him.
He was grounded and I said to him I lift that and you can have your mate sleep over if you do everything I’ve taught you.
Mate honestly he did far better than I could of asked. He just came alive in the fact he wanted the ball he was shouting, making runs and battling every step of the way.
Really impressed and see him as a winger like his dad.
Thanks for asking mate. Match tomorrow can’t wait.

Rewards for hard work mate. At first maybe pushed him a little bit to hard but I’ve balanced it all out now and he sees today that not only does he have a proud dad he can do stuff he didn’t realise he could do, so he gets his own reward with confidence. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Be a few V-Bucks I’ll owe him lol

Other than the fact that Grimstone’s a fairly recently appointed minister in this current government, has much high-level experience and knowledge in and of private sector finance, and no doubt clout, I can’t see much that would make him a useful intermediary between the EPL and the consortium’s efforts to get the PFI- KSA issue sorted.

Comment #15Mind, My young,un was also a winger, fast a whippet, fully enthusiastic but struggling with ball control etc…., most of the team struggled to get corners, free kicks into the box. I spent hours on the local field, pitch, him putting in crosses and low and behold he took all the corners, free kicks for the team. Really proud like all dads, mams etc….., the hard thing not losing your temper when the opposition chops down you kid ! But this was 25 years ago, probably things a lot different not, hope your lad enjoys his footballing career ! Cheers, good luck to him(and dad)

Comment #16i see a very well respected figure in both business and government, ex senior board member/chairman of barclays,
he brings with him respectability, and a person known to both sides plus government,
he’s been brought in to lead this deal to an acceptable conclusion for both parties, and new owners for us,

Brilliant isn’t it!!! Being a footy Dad.
I love it and help with the coaching. It’s not my team but I’ve spoke to the football club and I said next season I want to take my own team. They have been trying to get me involved for a while and I couldn’t through other commitments and in the end someone else took it a young lad. I help out and all that but I need my own team and don’t wanna tell the manager just yet but I’ll be taking 3 players lol I’ll keep that info to myself for the rest of the season.
What I noticed with him he doesn’t push himself to that next level, he didn’t understand competitiveness and let the game slide by. So for the last two weeks I’ve tried to get a different mentality and that sure showed today. Missed a trick as I coached him on all other matters but that and it was the missing ingredient.
Like you know yourself you put the hours in it pays dividends. Hard work and a keenness to learn can turn any average player into a good player.

Comment #33Mund, Darnik
Grimstone’s involvement suggests government interest in seeing that the takeover goes through and thus relationships with KSA aren’t soured.
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that EPL want government help to get paying customers back into grounds asap.
The fact that Grimstone’s a serving government minister and not a former one, speaks volumes – I’d guess.
A bit of back-scratching might be on the cards?

I did some googling as you do and I see it now. I believe wholeheartedly that this takeover in the end will be approved and that was before reading up. Premier league acting like big dogs, now it’s time for the government to show who holds the cards. (Even tho i cant stand the powers of be of this country)
