Down to earth with a bump. I said at the start of the season mid table with maybe a flirt with the playoffs along the way, don't see any reason to change that now.

i said the same thing and i should have put money on it

Since the loaned Lavery went back to decent football, Argyle have drawn 2 lost 2, conceding 9 ! and that includes 2 games against a team in the limbo of administration. You either see the patterns in life, or you don't.

Mr Sleeves will be along in a minute telling everyone how things are on the up and how wonderful everything is up in the extra-tenner-a-game business lounge where those employees who actually aren't in business, and are never likely to be, congregate and exchange telephone numbers, and eat something frozen.

Cue the reactive posts! after blowing it against the mighty Rochdale.

A result which was inevitable and to burst the bubble.

Write it off as a bad day at the office and move on.

Extra tenner a game?  Assuming the food hasn't been salvaged from a Tesco bin the night before and staff are being paid, it appears the club are subsidising the corporates.  Admittedly I have no idea how these things work but it appears there's too many so-called 'ordinary' fans benefitting from this.

I'll also state my comment was made from the £25 corporate fee V Port Vale. Maybe that's not the norm?

  I wrote off the odd good day at the office a few weeks back and moved on. Is that what you mean ? Be realistic ? Some hope of that with the play off boys.

None more realistic than me. I call it as I see it, not how I would like it. Ignoring stuffings will get this club nowhere. Also, not good to see the disciplinary record taking a sending off. We know only too well how bad discipline is often a sign of a team not up to the mark and players having to break the rules to keep the ship upright.

High flying Rochdale , attendance 2,839    The ''write it off as a bad day and move on ' mantra, is ingrained in the very fabric of the business lounge and the frozen lasagne.
Geddon James.

Under Fletch discipline was awful. Sendings off were commonplace. It's not the same under Shez. That was the first sending off in the league this season.

Excellent result, Fail are a decent outfit, they struggle a bit agin the better sides but find putting the dross away pretty easy.

Oh well,perhaps we have not come that far [SIC] as we thought we had.   

Back to the drawing board me thinks..

I wonder if Sheridan is REALLY under any pressure to get in to the Play-Offs ?,or is this only work in progress. With a view and an eye looking at next season.

Went to the match today. Poor performance. Poor set plays, players by and large off the pace. Banton anonymous. Purrington struggled. Gurreri consistently gave the ball away, often under no pressure. He should have been subbed at half-time. No sure on the sending off, he definitely went in with his elbow raised, but not sure it was intentional. One of those that would have just been a yellow twenty years ago.
Rochdale could have had it won at half time, they were very good going forward, lots of good quick touches and players finding space. They look a bit vulnerable at the back and a couple of times we could have got an underserved equaliser before their second.

Personally I've been a bit surprised by all the talk of play off chasing. Admittedly I haven't seen us recently, but this match just confirms to me that we are midtable at best at the moment.

Its only the prawn sarnie gang that think playoffs, i stand by my realistic nineteenth position finish.

I always said 12th from day one. Playoffs would be nice but unlikely.

Next weekend is another day. I'm still positive about where we're heading.

Just back from this pile of shite.
We were poor, very poor i left as soon as the second goal went in as knew we were in for a mullering, Rochdale clearly targeted the flank that Purrington was defending especially in the first half but all in all the whole team was equally abysmal and as for the set pieces don't get me started. Banton looks a shadow of the player he was when we had him before, no wonder Palace/MK? let him go.
Quite a trek from the train station to the ground, reasonable price for a pint in that Studds bar beneath   the main stand and the birds serving weren't half bad which was probably the only bright part of the day.
Spent the best part of 80 quid and that was from travelling in from the North East, i dread to think what it would have cost if one was demented enough to do that trip from Plymouth.
Cheers Argyle for another day out of my life what i will never get back.  

Look on the bright side Punchie. In a few years England's most parochial city club will have a nice little stadium providing bragging rights for porkie in the lower leagues, 6k Avivas and poor addicted souls going through the motions and pretending to enjoy the ride and the reluctant one will have given up the pretence of liking football and will simply be collecting the debts from Argiggle.

The dental surgery and school inside the ground will look just fine as long as there's a lighthouse somewhere    

How anyone can still have any optimism about the future is quite beyond me. It's all so village, to the core. Geddon.

Punchy  fair play to you for going.From Plymouth you would have spent the best part of £100 which probably explains why not too many made the journey from Plymouth and who could blame them at that cost.Not Argyle's finest hour or indeed performance from what I could gather listening on the wireless....cue parochial chants.

So normal service resumed then?? Marvellous :-(

Lol..  You're hopeful aren't you?

If current 'housekeeping' attitudes prevail...  These Normandy beach style defence bunkers will have the weathered paint peeling and will be covered in Seagull shit.  A complete eyesore.

Add to that...  The site lines for the fans alongside them will be absolutely horrendous.
