The next month at Argyle

So we're almost at the end of that run of games, with 4 points. Plus knocked out of the FA cup by a non league team.

Our captain has a 3 match ban and we've got one away fixture left against Bradford.

Somebody suggested 2 points, not far off if we lose on Tuesday, and someone said 15 points , so it looks like 4 points from 21 and an embarrassing cup exit.

Falling attendances, redundancies and suspensions.

What a month!

Christ! I would take a loss against Bradford if it meant a change of manager better still of management.

But as usual nothing will change and the happy clappy crowed will be saying all is well

I think it's safe to say our points tally won't have increased much by the time we play Bradford. By bye clueless!

If this plays out the way your predictions usually do, I imagine we'll be unbeaten for the next four weeks.

Yes indeed. Freathy has been consistently way off with his assessments over several years now

So we managed 4 points from the 7 matches against play off/promotion contenders. We also managed to get knocked out of the FA Cup by a part-time outfit as a 'Coup De Grace'. I think we can conclude from that what our chances of challenging for the play offs are!

For the next month, up until Christmas, it will be 'mid-table madness' at Argyle. We have four league matches against midtable teams, along with a Paint Pot trophy match against struggling Oxford. All these matches are eminently winnable especially the first two at home, which are really the sorts of matches we should be winning if we are to avoid a relegation struggle.

Chesterfield (H) - 12th
York (H) - 15th
Exeter (A) - 7th
Accrington (A) 14th

Cup game Oxford (H) - 18th.

I'm going to go 6 points. 4 from the two home matches and draws in the 2 away matches (Exeter normally bottle it in front of a big crowd {i.e. more than 4000}). We should beat Oxford in the cup because we have the weekend off before it due to the FA Cup second round.

I think 4 points from the home games, 0 from the away games and out of the JPT.

That would still have us in the relegation mix with Xmas approaching and our loanees unable to play.
