Common knowledge. Had an operation on his hamstring in the summer apparently.

Failing to clinch promotion, poor recruitment, relegation failure to develop young players, no youth set up worthy of a mention - money for nothing

Not good enough, as has been said so many times.
An experienced manager should have won us the league that season not ended in the play off lottery
He failed us when the league should have been won.
And here we are now. Short memories by soo many.
Let’s blame the referee ?
No blame Johnson who did not strengthen and see us over the line as an experienced manager should have done…again my opinion

Give it a rest DevonBee....please !!
How many more times !!?
Re Dawsons injury , not common enough knowledge for the club to tell the fans.

Bee sounds like an ice clock

Fully agree, pity so many others cannot accept the reality of mismanagement. The truth of everything you have listed is simply the facts !

Here's the thing, we won NLS when we were the only FT club in the league, and GJ has dined out on that pretty much ever since, we should of got promoted to League 2, but we blew up badly and what happened at Ashton Gate happened, but ever since its been fairly bad, I know we've lost good, reliable talent, but last season was awful, some of those performance rank alongside the worst I've ever seen, and I'm including being the mid 80' and mid 90's when it was bleak....GJ in my view should of walked, the whole set up and no communication is weird, and just in keeping with things

Live with it. Thats how it is

Covolan, Mcdonald, Cameron, Nemane, CLE, Randell, Sherring, Lewis blah blah blah. You could add Wynter and Little so I'd say quite a few developed well under his management. Fickle fans with short memories.

Slightly worrying Weymouth best Southampton B 5-0

I guess Southampton have a lot of promising players but they sent their best to Torquay but not to Weymouth??

Brucie, it may be common knowledge to you and your sources that dawson had an operation during the summer, I would love to see any comment from the club on that subject, as far as I can see there has not been one, not even confirming your assertion. So common knowledge , maybe in your living room but we have learnt from experience on this forum that not all comments have any degree of accuracy.

I would like to know the lineup before we make any judgement from the results, may not have been the same team they Brought to us, regardless its now all focus on Dover, that'll be the real test

GullsUnited it was a completely different team just read the Southampton Match Reports on their Website for Weymouth and Torquay games.

Randell now that is hilarious, do you honestly think Plymouthhave not brought him on to the player he is today.
Amazed you have not mentioned Lawrence as Johnson played such a huge part in his progress
Saints had nothing to do with his development …all down to Downes and Johnson.
The rest judge for yourself with those rose tinted on.
