Btw curtains won’t be able to play v parent club

As for Argyle now? I am now pretty confident we aren’t going down because the improvement was substantial and zero aspect of fluke to that win (unlike some others in truth).

We still (imo) won’t trouble the play offs but I accept I may have gone early with my panic stations

I think the people being fed up of going was more of a response to two and a bit years of unprecedentedly bad away form that at the time looked set to continue. And also a wider feeling of disconnectedness from the club that wasn’t there at the bottom of league two days (as bad as they were)

Alright probably fair I should take some flack given my earlier meltdowns. What I’d say is, maybe I did over react a bit emotionally but also I’ll change my views as the facts change. The late window business of McCabe, Ross and Tolaj has clearly raised the level of this squad. They’re all quality

I will and it’s possible I’ll backtrack a little but I still don’t think I’ll be happy with the state of things one bit

Is trying good enough? I didn’t sing Hallett out but can understand frustrations. The last few years have been a total shambles and the last few months an even bigger shambles. The fact we’ve got into this position is symptomatic of appalling mismanagement

What did you think of end of game and full time scenes today?

Fans fighting in the stands.

Widespread visceral reaction against our most successful chairmen of recent times.

This is no longer a few angry online fans. This is a fanbase at the end of its tether and no longer accepting this shambles.

To be blunt, I’ve essentially already accepted it.

It is of course avoidable if the board take the right steps NOW (should have been after Saturday) and treat this as a state of emergency.

Sadly, I don’t predict that will be the response. So, League Two beckons.

The worst thing is I’m not actually even (predominantly) angry anymore.

I am but I’m more sad. 6 years of work gone totally up in smoke due to total mismanagement.

Relegation isn’t just a possibility. It’s a near total certainty. #pafc

I get that 100% but then the pressure on those games becomes enormous if we’ve not won by then

Could write a whole book on what’s gone wrong sadly - and that’s what we’re ultimately trying to do on the podcast to dissect where the problems are: we are ALL Argyle fans and being more negative doesn’t mean we aren’t proper fans

I hope so mate. I honestly feel we are bang in trouble. The only thing we’ll be fighting for come April is survival imho

And ultimately for loyal supporters who’ve attended through far worse times than this not to want to go to games so much anymore - the question we have to ask is what has the club done to alienate people like that? It isn’t just losing matches

I accept that it’s probably a lot of factors but if we didn’t ’blah blah’ about signings then we wouldn’t be asking the questions fans want us to.

We have gone from being seen as a well run club to being a basket case and it’s reasonable to question why that is - sorry if this offends some

Watched not washed!!

Apologies autocorrect

Makes you sick? That’s very strong wording. What makes me sick is the chronic under investment and lack of quality in this squad due to failings at our end.

Btw if you had washed we did chat exactly what you said about why fans are leaving -

The club is not good enough + hasn’t been for some time

Can only see the top half of me…

GET IN THERRREEEEE

Foster 2.0 it is, then

I hate football. #pafc

Missing my first Argyle game in two years to tick off yet another Eastern European City. Trying and failing to find somewhere that shows the game. #pafc

Alas not!

Seems like a good time to break my run of only reading and not posting on here, and say that I fully approve and will absolutely belt it out after a few #pafc
