Based on not just tonight but performances this season I think that we're not getting what we want from 4 of our squad. Very worrying when only 4 of our normal main line rota of 8 are producing goods. Hmmmmm.

The percentage table is updated with todays results. It's starting to show who the weakest teams are this season. The Patriots Eagles game was in the Cup. There definitely looks like separation between the top 5 and the bottom 5 even at this early stage

Wow just watched the Pats vs Eagles game back. How we managed to win that I have no idea but glad we finally got one victory especially since it was a one off Cup match.
Poor first half performance defensively although the officials seemed to think e everything was an offensive foul for some reason. However improvement in the 2nd half including an extremely rare Darius Defoe 3 pointer got it done for us in the end.
As for Duke I'm surprised he managed to avoid getting a tech as could see he was trying to get under the Pat players skin which I believe may have worked but also encouraged them to play harder. Hopefully now we can follow this win up with a win on Sky against Sharks next week.
As for the other game very low scoring game in the Nix vs Sharks match. Looks like an end of 3rd Quarter score rather then a final result.

It's gonna be a long season for Phoenix I think. I'm hoping Ulph can come in to give Ochereobia a break and move Neighbour to his more natural position, but the guards! Wow.
Larry must be regretting coming back.

For Cheshire all I can say this is probably a weekend they hope to put behind them and forget.
As for Eagles whilst the win was great we certainly need reinforcements if we want the chance of rolling more wins onto the board. Johnson will be a welcomed addition on Friday against Sheffield but I did hear Jeff King say in the London game there was one more potential signing but gave no name or hints as to who it will be.
Although that would give us 8 players and 2 kids. I feel we need atleast 10-12 active players if we wanted to cover depth though.

What would you say is a full squad ideally? 3 bigs, 4 forwards, 4 guards?

So according to Dan Routledge… That ensures an entire decade for Riders without defeat to Surrey (W34, D1). Last loss was 11th November 2012 and the two sides don’t meet again until December. Not a bad record is it, Almost as good as the last time Plymouth beat us, which is if I recall around September 1981…..🤣 Looked like the Paviliions Everything suggests they'll be at the Paviliions until the end of 2022. After that, who knows!

That would be good as it means if any player was to go down injured or be unavailable they would have another 1 or 2 players to back them up. By the way I noticed the other day on TV that Plymouth seemed to be the only team that leave there fans in the dark during game play unless Sky Sports are there. No issue with it but wondered why they do this?

Apart from a decent Q1, that is the worst I've ever seen us play at EPSV, with just 29 points in 30 minutes. We were so flat and there simply has to be changes to the side if we're to avoid missing the playoffs. Phoenix ratings: Strawberry: 2/10 - Got very limited minutes but we just can't afford to have an import only play 14 mins (unless injured) and deliver an index of 0. Looks like the management saw your review - Strawberry has gone and has been replaced by Marcus Evans which looks like a great swap for the Phoenix.
