"The stats don't lie..."

[Quizmike]

For those that think we are going to survive comfortably what is the optimism based on ?
A whole new back 4 in the January transfer window.

I'm afraid I don't share the confidence in this squad or manager this time round.
TLC look a shadow of themselves from last year.
The midfield is unbalanced and all at sea and the defence is the worst I have ever seen at Argyle.

Is there going to be 4 teams worse than us is the only question anyone can possibly have

My faith on surviving is based purely on one thing Derek Adams. If the past is a marker for the future Derek’s CV is good enough to me to evidence we will survive.

Two months ago, would you have been happy with just hoping for survival this season?

Surviving. What a shocking indictment on club of Plymouth’s status and following

Distasteful

What is our Status exactly ? To some we might be 'something' to any Youngsters who've recently started supporting we're just another Lower League Club.

How odd

Our status has slowly developed to be on par with Exeter City. Time to manage expectations. We may get 10k a week but That means f**k all these days. We want to be better than we are and it’s the hope that kills you.

This. Fans look forward to a new season. With no wins in the first nine league games any optimism fades quickly and although there are plenty of games to play the season has effectively been written off already by the disastrous start.

These ARE the stats that matter:

Pos 24 P 9 W 0 D 3 L 6 F 5 A 16 GD -11 Pts 3

Our status is certainly better based than now. Historically Argyle have mainly featured in the middle 2 divisions, had never even been in the lowest tier of 4 until the 1990s. No reason to suggest we should be anywhere near there now. So we should be either a Championship team or a thriving 1st Division club. On reaching that status last season it's terribly sad to see us struggle so badly so far. It's important to not penny pinch and to back the manager with money or else it hugely backfires financially anyway. We don't seem to have effectively replaced Bradley, Vyner or Threlkeld. but there are only 9 games gone. If we stop conceding sloppy goals and score a few more we can definitely climb the league again. The best thing to do in football is to score more than the opposition. That gets points on the board. So if you can't defend well, let's attack well. Our best players such as Carey, Lameiras, Fox are the offensive players. We have to play to our strengths and stop absorbing pressure like last season.

It's worse that we were hoping to be challenging Pompey for automatic having eclipsed them last season and our next opponents Donny . Left them for dead really with our surge up the table. The 2 teams we were promoted with. And we are what 20 pts adrift. Incredible really. Like what the hell happened?

Not at all. The signings of promising young players coming from prem clubs gave me optimism. My head said we’d be mid-table my heart hoping for a flirt with 6th spot like last season.

I’d take 21st right now though. It’s vitally important that with the new grandstand we stay in L1. It could take us years to get out of L2.

I’m pretty sure he meant 20th.

Its that what we have become now,a team happy to finish just above the bottom 4 in league one.We hadn't even been in the bottom league twenty or so years ago,now we look like becoming a yo yo club between the bottom two leagues.

I cant believe people are happy with this !!
