Agree Neil, just sit back and enjoy the journey.
What I would say is, whatever you do, start seeing as many games as you can, they are a joy to watch both home and away and it's simply wonderful to watch this team smash the opposition.
It's also great to see DA work out how to beat them during the match and then see him put that into practice.
I was in amongst the AFCW people (for the second half) on Tuesday night and if you could have heard what they were saying about us, it would have made you as proud as I feel right now.
We're no Barcelona, but my God, we can play a bit, and we'll give quite a few teams a run for their money that's for sure.

Early days for DA but a good and encouraging start to the season for a change
With all the changes to playing staff we are a bit of an unknown quantity but teams will start to suss us out and that's when he will need to shake it up again
keep it up and who knows back to back PROMOTIONS and he could be a championship manager with US ! :scarf:

On the OS DA says how one of the differences is that in Scottish football, teams spend the first 15 minutes sussing each other out whereas in league two the home team comes out all guns blaring. This goes some way to explain our 'slow' starts but if true, there can't be many managers as astute as DA.
Am loving going to HP at the moment and will try to gat an away day in at some point.

It begs the question as to what would have happened if the Board had decided not to compromise?

Not if he's true to his words about 'building a club, not just a team'. One promotion wouldn't build a club, two maybe, three definitely.
Jump ship after one promotion (and i'm talking hypothetically, nothing taken for granted whatsoever) and those words would ring rather hollow.
Nice to read complimentary comments from the opposition though, just wish we hadn't needed to do the same to Pompey.

Oddball you make take cynicism an art form, I bet it`s just being so cheerful that keeps you going.
Like Oddball says just enjoy the ride....
And if Argyle are successful then there will be interest in him just like there was with Sturrock Mark I....
Instead of worrying what is maybe 12 months away down the road, just enjoy what we got......he could lose the next 4 out of 5 games and then nobody will need to worry if he is going to be poached for at least a few months.
If he goes after doing well here then so be it, and worrying about it after 5 league games into a brand new season is simply a waste of using any part of your brain.
Just be thankful he is here in the first place. We are suddenly the most energetic, hard working, free goal scoring team in which he has done this in around two months. If you want to think about something, think how good we are going to be once this team gels properly and he has worked another two months with them.
You never know he actually might like being manager of this football club and see the potential to do something almost ever other manager in our history has failed at. Make us become a very decent championship club.

I believe DA is here for the long haul, because he strikes me as a pretty astute individual. Sure, higher league clubs may come sniffing, but they will probably be looking for someone to turn around their fortunes, with all the legacy problems that that entails. Here, he has a unique opprtunity to take advantage of the word we're all sick of hearing, POTENTIAL.
He has the chance to repeat his outstanding Ross County experience, but this time on a far, far bigger stage, and you know what? I think he might just do it.

There was me sticking by my 10-15 league game yardstick before considering the prospects for one L2 season. Merv, you've just tipped us for promotion to the Premier League off the back of five :lol:
Odders, I stopped believing in fairy tales as a small child. Not believing things managers say took a bit longer to achieve but both are treated as the same post Hollowords. I perhaps should've added a :wink:
He'll go to a richer club if he's any good long term...we'll just have to find another one.
