Agree with akagreengull. Fingers crossed england win and I win on england at -6! 25 on for 49 back. That with exeter winning and Swindon and crewe drawing and you lot getting smashed itll literally be the perfect day

but if we are to stand a chance of going up or even entertain the idea of over taking exeter and swindon who both have winning mentalities throughout the squad we need to beat teams who like us want to go up.

bad day at the office.

It's not just a bad day at the office though. We have been completely outplayed far too many times this season and have been extremely lucky not to come way with far more scorelines like Exeter and this one. Make no mistake Argo are a VERY VERY poor team.

Another defensive horror show. Wholesale centre-back changes in the summer, regardless of what division we're in.

I was saying the defence would cost us in August. What a load of shite.

As Simon once said, ''It's about more than results''

Let's not forget the hospitality packages on offer at HP, The ''Community stuff'' and of course the ladies team.

We''ll have the finest dining in the 4th division for many years to come. Hallett will be happy.

what it comes down to liek has under Sheridan and Del Bhey, Managers and chairman are too reliant on a strong starting 11 and NOTHING afterwards. We need strength and depth through out the squad where competition for places is encouraged. As soon as 1 or 2 players drop out of our 11 we take 4 steps backwards in terms of performances and results.

Not having options on the bench costed us many times over the years it appears even under a new manager ad chairman we havent changed to address this.

Lowe claims we had a good window hmmm Si, may have done we spent nothing! A Striker midfielder and quality defender short in my opinion, another season in Brents Basement is unacceptable to ten thousand fans paying top whack.

If we end up in the play-offs, will we lose a third of the team?

This definitely bit us on the ass today-2-0 down in half an hour and half the team are thinking "So what? I won't be here in 3 months time anyway"

Even ignoring our games in hand I think most of us pre season would have been happy at 4th after 30 games and just six off top

Defensive shambles again. I hear that Sonny Bradley isnt cutting the mustard at Luton in the Championship, with Sawyer, Caravan and wooton contracts up at the end of the season surely an option there.

Moore Jephcott Lalos Hardie, Taylor Telford, Grant-certainly got enough forwards,numbers wise. but that hides two problems.

There is a serious lack of quality in the squad, it is full of journeyman players who have done the rounds of lower league clubs without ever arousing the interest of top flight clubs-just look at all the Bury exiles who have ended up at Home Park, were any of them offered the chance to join a Championship Club closer to their North West base?

Obviously, RL's promotion winning team last season were never tested in a higher league, but I suspect they (like Argyle who still have a chance of promotion from a very average division) would have crashed and burnt had they not had a major squad overhaul.

The other problem is the injury list. It's plain to see that we have problems both with players being rushed back from injury and breaking down again, and with chronically unfit players being signed. Is the Manager overruling the medical staff in both of these areas? Or is the training regime causing problems?

Most of that was as painful to watch as the Argyle highlights. Admittedly we looked like way the better team at the end but it took an hour to get into gear. Couldn't understand all the high kicks into the teeth of that wind and the ref was only interested in our bad line out ball not the scots.

Aimison and Telford have been crap signings, i agree we have a lot of bodies amongst the strikers its the lack of a consistent goal scorer that makes me think it will be the lottery of the playoffs. I dont believe the training regime is the cause of any injuries.

Bang on Bhey. If we'd hung onto Hourihane, Bradley plus numerous other players we'd have been in the CCC years ago. We have a good squad of league 2 players which will have to perform better than their ability to get out of this god awful league.

The main problem was never addressed at the start of the season THE DEFENCE that let in 84 goal the previous season simples
I think Lowe took a gamble with the defence even though we got relegated I think he thought there be still good enough for L2 so he could use the budget to get his mates down from oop north instead of sorting the defence out first

Yes and thats not worked either Reg. Mayor touted as a world beater has been frankly a disaster. Telford and Aimson non existant. Macfz started season well but thats all

Crazy thing is I think we'll still get promoted. I fancy autos still but play offs put us in with a great shout
