Fine Margins and Failing Ownership
If Edwards is an example of the core values we love about football and the sort of player that all successful teams need, then the scenes at Sheffield Wednesday, Reading, Scunthorpe, Southend in particular are a reminder that football has an ownership problem.
Back To Brilliance
Onto discussion of Saturday, and that latest impressive Home Park performance. I think we all knew that home form would be key, but I doubt that anybody would have expected to have scored 13 goals in our first four home games.
Throwing in the Towel?
Rarely do you see a manager throw in the towel before a league game has even kicked off, against an opponent just two points above you no less. Yet, it felt like that had happened when the lineup was announced on Tuesday. I quite sincerely checked to ensure this...
Mayflower Musings: Panic or Patience?
Make no mistake: this was bad. Really bad. Certainly the worst performance by an Argyle team in quite some time, possibly since the 5-0 loss on the final day of the 2021/22 season to MK Dons. The full blown hysteria on social media, however, suggests that there are issues at the club which have been brewing for some time now, whether people really noticed them or not.
Argyle vs Preston North End: The talking points
Welcome to the latest One Team In Devon, off the back of defeat at Deepdale. I couldn’t be at the game, as I’m caring for a two-week-old member of the Green Army – but huge kudos to those traveling in numbers this week, with over 3,000 sold for Bristol City on a...
The case for (and against) Ryan Lowe
The fixture against Preston sees Argyle and Schuey pit their wits against Ryan Lowe for the first time. It’s added focus back onto Ryan Lowe’s legacy with the fan base – and the words and feelings associated with that time. Football runs on pantomime villains and...
Back Where We Belong?
Therefore, the question was obvious: could Argyle even compete in the Championship? Would we be the whipping boys, victims of a thoroughly unenjoyable season?
The Waiting is Over
The pints will flow, the Devonport End will be bouncing and the pasties will be delicious. But tomorrow, they’ll taste that little bit better.
Mayflower Musings: What Next, then?
Given how good recruitment has been in recent years it’s going to be particularly intriguing to watch just how good some of next season’s newbies will be
Mayflower Musings: Time To Be Ruthless
t. If Argyle want to go into that league and have some level of success (survival might be what we look at initially) then it is unfortunately time to be ruthless with the playing squad, and that means saying goodbye to some treasured and popular players at Home Park.
The Morning After The Night Before
Being a Plymouth Argyle fan, it’s safe to say I haven’t developed much of a pre-cup final routine! Yet, as the big day slowly loomed, I found myself adopting new habits and rituals, all in great hope and expectation of finally seeing Argyle lift silverware at Wembley....
From Leipzig with Love
Departing beautiful Devon around 20 years ago, aged 11, with spells in New Zealand, Scotland and now Germany, travelling from afar to watch the Greens has become the norm. Living in New Zealand between 2006-12 certainly had its inconveniences following Argyle. The...
