Just started to look through my Plymouth Argyle Complete Record (1903-1904 / 2008-2009) and looked first at the 1981-1982 season. That season start was worse than this.
The first ten games went as follows.
1 Oxford United h (L) 1-0 4,089
2 Burnley a 1-0 (L) 3,476
3 Lincoln City h (L) 2-0 3,323
4 Brentford a (D) 0-0 4,943
5 Bristol City a (L) 3-2 7,383
6 Chesterfield h (L) 2-0 3,451
7 Reading h (D) 1-1 2,745
8 Southend United a (l) 3-0 3,874
9 Gillingham h (L) 2-1 3,094
10 Carlisle United a (L) 3-1 3,630
The left Argyle on 2 points, after game 11 (which they lost away to Wimbledon 2-1 2,114) , they went on an 11 game unbeaten run (gaining 18 points) and then not too bad after that. They finished tenth at the end of the season on 65 points.
