_____________


Taking it from the start, here is Ryan after signing an 18 month deal in January 2015. Ryan was signed by the then Plymouth Argyle manager John Sheridan said to be a long time admirer of the powerful young forward.

In his second season at Argyle, Ryan found himself increasingly used by new manager Derek Adams due to an injury to star striker Reuben Reid. Here is Ryan celebrating after a 2-1 win away at Luton. Despite dominating the match, Argyle left it late to grab the points, with Brunt netting the winner in the fifth minute of added time.

With Reid still injured, and the experiments with Jervis proving a tactical frustration, Ryan found himself thrust into the action after the half time whistle here at Dagenham and Redbridge. With the Pilgrims losing 3 out of the last 4 matches and playing disappointing football, a drastic change of fortunes was needed to resurrect the title challenge. Here is Ryan celebrating with captain Curtis Nelson, after scoring a sensational 30 yard winner in stoppage time with the Pilgrims' first and only shot on target of the game.

DECEMBER 2015

Here is Ryan in action against League Two strugglers Yeovil Town. With Argyle only winning 2 matches out of 8 since the beginning of October, there was consternation among the fans that Argyle's promotion campaign was in danger of being derailed having lost form and confidence with injuries. Despite having an average first half, Brunt produced an exceptional Man of the Match effort in the second half to score the winning goal, following up a long range Craig Tanner effort to slot past a helpless Yeovil keeper. The result put Argyle two points clear at the top of League Two.

Having scored the winner at Home Park just two days previously, Ryan was selected to lead the line against a newly resurgent Newport County side under ex-Argyle boss John Sheridan. Similar to Boxing Day, Brunt had an ordinary first half as Argyle went 1-0 down and looked second best all over the pitch. However after half time Brunt produced a stirring display, producing a fantastic assist for Jake Jervis's equaliser, and scoring the winner on the 70th minute, as Argyle looked rampant and created chances for further goals. The turnaround at Newport left Argyle 8 points clear of the playoff pack, and Ryan was selected as the supporters' man of the match for the third time in 5 matches!

Lol, an exceptional performance against Yovo? He was useless in the first half!

I seriously believe he'll become a cult figure down here ala trigger.
He's a big big lump but clearly skillful at times to. That cross for Jervis at Rodney was just sublime

Love it ejh......Angrys favourite thread

This one will be bigger than Pepsi's word game! Cheers EJ.

any chance of a Calvin Plummer one

I too love this thread, it's like Viz in its heyday. It really needed to be started by someone who hates Brunt though.

he's just proving my point that he fancies him and not for his footballing ability

Long may the thread continue in a positive light...

Viz magazine did a one off strip featuring Plymouth Argyle when we were in the championship. It was surreal.

The Pirates of Plymouth Argyle wasn't it?

Yep, think so, they had all the players names right and even bothered having some likeness. Remember thinking how weird it was, even for viz which I loved btw.

Haharrrtrtr!
