whatever. Carl will not be our manager by the end of the year. We will have a new man in and if my source is correct, we are in for some exciting times.

Sure.

Avram Grant perchance. He was good at the other south coast naval port!

No chance of Warnock coming from the Prem to us at the bottom of the league

Is this a wind up....?

Most of the great managers start by making their teams hard to beat. Pullis, whilst not being considered as a great, certainly made us hard to beat when he was here.
Clough brought in Shilton and built his side from the back.

For some years, in my opinion, we have a goalkeeping problem. If we don't sort that out we will continue to leak goals. The first task for the new manager is to find a keeper who can make good decisions. LarryO is a decent shot stopper but most other parts of his game have not improved since his arrival, probably attributed to years of "coaching" by Crudgie.

I do think Fletch should concentrate on the playing side of his career. He has more to offer us than any other and I fear he prefers to put the suit on rather than the kit.

We need to win "ugly" to survive so cosy, "nice" managers who might be able to mould a side we do not have time for at the moment. Get some fear into the dressing room and discipline into the coaching.

All 3 of Torquay's goals came from player mistakes. I'm sure Fletch didn't say - "let the ball go over your head without trying to save it" or "pass the ball to their forward so that he can go 1v1 against Larrieu". The Manager can only do so much - he changed the formation, we got a goal back against one of the form teams in the league without a few first choice players. FFS give the man a chance.

I'd rather have Webb & Newell

Hodge & Hodges?

Castle & Shilton?

McCall & Hodges? (oh no, already tried that!)

Frio & Williamson?

SEB & Holloway?

Well said , Mark.

St James has saved us................................financially.

The task of keeping us in the FL is a bit more tricky.
To be honest, in my years of supporting Argyle I am humbled that the likes of Fletcher and the much maligned Feeney, were willing to take the the chance to save and play for the club. And all those who are manning the guns now.
Let's be honest, who the F*** is going to come here to manage and play for what looks like a team doomed to non league status?
We are where we are. Let's stop deluding ourselves we are too big for the drop and get behind the staff, players and management who are willing to graft and struggle for the club. We HAVE to support those who in desperate times came to our aid-not boot them into touch. We are Plymouth Argyle. Semper Fidelis?
Dai.
