Purse picked out former Argyle striker George Donnelly as one of the key players for the Lancashire club.
"The pitch is terrible. When we played up there it was tipping down with rain and very windy.
"It's a small ground and a tough place to go to, but with the support Argyle will have they will probably outnumber the Rochdale fans."

Prolific Pilgrim George. Two games in two seasons and no goals. Lot of time out on loan. Doubt whether the Plymouth fans will even remember him, unlike perhaps Mr. Purse. |  | | |

Purse might well be scratching around for excuses (like the pitch) to try explain why he spent 90 minutes hoofing the ball aimlessly forward earlier this month, the oaf. | |

I know that we all feel duty bound to defend our players no matter what they do (Will Buckley never dived for example) but do we have to take umbridge when an opposition player says our pitch was rubbish?
The Saafend manager had said the same the week before and credited Rochdale on working it out whereas his lads hadn't.
If I'm right, the groundsman left not too long ago and Rugby started up once more. Not whinging, these are simply facts and the pitch is indeed bobbly as feck. |  |

Rarely take umbrage at anything in all honesty DL, but Purse must have easily played on a dozen or more worse pitches than ours this season. At this level, using the pitch as an excuse doesn't wash IMHO. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

The state of the pitch didn't really matter with their basic long ball kick it straight down the middle tactics. | | | |

According to http://www.footballgroundguide.com/index.html (no idea how accurate this is) our pitch is 114 x 76 yards and Plymouth's is 112 x 73 yards, so they're more likely to get lost in the wide open spaces. However, Vale's is bigger at 114 x 77 yards. |  | | |

He's mad because he still didn't get to use his chairman's promotion banner yet |  | | |

I found this bit weirder than his comments about the pitch:
"I think they have got the players to go to Rochdale and win the game."
So a team fighting relegation has better players than a team all but assured of promotion? |  | | |
