WE haven’t let the weather affect us in any way as we prepare for tomorrow night’s game with Rotherham United.

We trained on top of the snow at Boots & Laces on Tuesday and it was really hard work.

It was like trying to play football on the beach, but we played a match and it went well.

We followed that up by training at the playfootball.net centre yesterday and we got another sweat on there so we’ve been training well for what is a huge game.

It’s too early to be labelling matches as ‘must win’ games, but we could really do with the three points against Rotherham.

If we get them then it turns a draw at Plymouth in to a much better result but we were all gutted to get just a point down there.

We were 2-0 with only a few minutes to go but weren’t able to hold on which was very disappointing.

It was a real game of two halves and in the first 45 minutes we showed we could play good football.

We used the ball quickly, got into good areas and showed great desire to get two goals.

Going into the second half it seemed like there was no way Plymouth were going to get back in to game but we showed great naivety and a lack of discipline.

When that happens you have no chance and it cost us two points.

The breaks aren’t quite going our way and their first goal took a huge deflection on its way in to the goal.

In my opinion, Glenn Morris did well to even get a hand on the ball before it went in but things will soon start to go our way again if we start to work hard enough.

Our nightmare journey home from Plymouth has been already been well documented.

But we actually passed the time on the way home by getting out to build what I will describe in a family newspaper as snow ornaments!

Pictures can be seen on Chris Phillips’ Twitter page and it certainly did give us a good laugh during a frustrating time.

I’ve never known a journey like it and, on behalf of all the lads, I’d like to say a massive thank you to all the fans who made the trip to support us.

To go all that way to cheer us on is amazing and we really do appreciate it.

Because of the problems and the late goals we let in it wasn’t the best of times for us in Plymouth. But Pat Baldwin did give us a good laugh with the song he had to sing at a meal on the Friday before the game.

He went for an Elvis number and wasn’t really that good.

However, he went with the if in doubt shout technique and got a great reception from the lads.

Alex Woodyard has also been getting plenty of stick after he was the only player to park his car in all of the snow at the training ground.

I think he was out there for about 40 minutes trying to get out in the end and that was also quite entertaining to see!

NOT SHOCKED BY CAPELLO EXIT

l It wasn’t a massive surprise to me that Fabio Capello, below, decided to resign as the manager of England last night.

I think he felt his authority had been undermined one too many times when the Football Association decided to take the captaincy away from John Terry.

And I just had a funny feeling this was going to happen.

For me the whole situation could’ve been avoided had the court case involving Terry happened sooner.

But to not be having that until July is shambolic in my opinion.

Everything could’ve been resolved much quicker but with what’s gone on it hasn’t shocked me Capello has gone.

He only had six months left on his contract so the compensation figure won’t be too high but the timing is far from ideal as we will soon be taking part in the European Championships.

The man I would like to take over is Harry Redknapp, who has now cleared his name in the courts.

Harry’s experienced, passionate and a very good man manager, which is what I think we need. He’s also English which I think is important but will he be able to take the job on right now?

Harry’s doing great things with Tottenham and might want to see that out until the end of the season.

Him taking the England role on part time until the end of the season would be the best bet for me.

But maybe somebody already within the set up might take over on a caretaker basis, just like Peter Taylor did before.

It’s certainly going to be an interesting few months, but that always seems to be the case with England ahead of a major championship.
