    Thoughts on Sheridan

    There is nothing unusual about a manager only turning up for certain parts of the week. Neil Warnock used to commute from Cornwall to Leeds recently and was often 'down here' at home when you would have expected him to be head down in admin at Leeds. The same could well be true of Sheridan? He...

    Swindon 2-1 Argyle

    However, bad news for fans is that even if JS is sacked it won't address the true root cause of the problem which is the general malaise of mediocrity that permeates every fibre of the club. Until this cancer is eradicated, then changing managers will achieve nothing. Personally, I do believe...

    Swindon 2-1 Argyle

    I agree with this. The good thing for fans sanity however in situations like this is that we're in a bit of a win-win situation. If Argyle lose then it's no longer just an isolated bad day out. Lose the game and it's almost certainly going to provoke some kind of major change which practically...

    Swindon 2-1 Argyle

    Bigger picture people, remember the bigger picture. It's another loss in another professional match by Argyle in a long running continuing saga of repetitive losses, bottom of league dwelling and being dumped out of cup competitions. 6 seasons of rot, 6 seasons of relegation scraps, 6 seasons...

    What are your views ?

    Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No This thread makes me laugh and sums up perfectly the mess that Argyle are in. Total division in the fanbase which serves to prevent said fans from being taken seriously or listened to in any way. The same thing is happening on PASOTI on every thread: Is Brent...

    Loan signings ?

    Don't be too quick to big up the academy. The PAFC set up is nothing compared to what Exeter have. Exeter kids have dedicated facilities and have each game video recorded and analysed, what do Argyle have? A couple of old players stood around with clipboards at various schools or pitches they...

    Loan signings ?

    Every game I've ever been to, I always make a point of looking who is on or around the bench. I think the fact the bench at Argyle consists of just that, a single bench, tells you all you need to know. People say we should be an established Championship side for the size of our club, our...

    Loan signings ?

    Is it really hard to believe? Losing is the norm and has been for the last 5 years? Whilst you are correct in stating that owner, manager, coach and players have all changed numerous times in that period, you have conveniently forgotten to cover what hasn't changed and that is where the problem...

    Newsnow Article

    Sadly (and predictably some might say!) I'd have to say "we're doomed". I base this not on some insane bitterness or other emotive reason, but on the fact that Argyle has been around the foot of the table for the entire season. That fact is non-arguable, it is a statistic that tells you all...

    Lessons Learned?

    With relegation out of the league looking very real, I had a quick browse of Argyle internetland to gauge the mood. Gee Whizz there are some very short memories out there in Argyle land. I remember just a short few years ago when Argyle were playing the likes of Newcastle and we'd just been...

    Hold Yer Horses!

    The appointment of a new manager is exciting but let's get this into context and reality for a moment. Let's not let short-term delirium and adrenalin cloud our perspective. We are facing our 5th successive relegation battle, that's 5 seasons in a row where we've been in or around the relegation...

    Consistency of approach (from the fans)

    Agree with this completely. PASOTI is like a mafia mob, strictly controlled and if you dare to deviate from the established status quo, raise some thorny issues or tell a few home truths then you'll quickly find your account terminated without warning, explanation or recourse. Very hostile and...

    Consistency of approach (from the fans)

    The slacking off of the pressure was immediately apparent on PASOTI. From literally months of nothing but "Fletcher out" type posts, as soon as a couple of reasonable results were in the bag then all talk of "Fletcher out" evaporated like superheated steam. There suddenly started appearing light...

    Consistency of approach (from the fans)

    If the fans have decided that Fletcher has to go and that he won't be tolerated anymore by the paying customers, aka "fans", then the fans need to maintain that decision come what may. Football fans are renowned for being fickle and results driven but if their opinions are to be taken...

    Bigger Picture

    Some of what Distant says makes a bit of sense but there are pieces missing before the fans can show real patience and understanding. It's hard to be patient and tolerant when one point off non-league. It's hard to be patient and tolerant when this slide has been going on for 4 years...
