Joe Ralls

Comes off the bench in the 69th minute to make his debut for Plymouth in their win at Port Vale.

Still think we should have kept him.

Certainly a option to soak up pressure in games and give his all for 30 to 60
1 thing from Joe was always committed and body on the line

Exactly, and his experience would be invaluable for the youngsters.

Look where Plymouth are. He should have gone in 2018 when we went up. Clueless in the PL.

Wish him well at Plymouth. He was the ultimate professional for us and I have a lot of time for him.

But I do feel it was right for him to go. The manager didn't want him and trust his judgement. Wouldn't be fair for him to be told to keep a player that he didn't want.

I agree, but at the start of the season, BBM wanted to stamp his mark, he has, and apart from a few strange fans and Turnbull's family, who would vote for Turnbull over Ralls as your last 15 mins sub to see a game out?

This isn't Joe's club anymore it's Rubins, I reckon the former academy lad knows that :bluebird: and would fit in and help out

Was a great player for us but it was the right thing to let him go in my opinion. Too injury prone. Id imagine his wages were 1 of the highest at the club and we have better midfield options. Wish him well and hope he does well at Plymouth for himself

Bit harsh. Think he'd had some good seasons beyond 2018

I dont think we need him back, it was time(for me) but we needed to replace what he offered as we're soft through the middle.
