We are on a roll which is unbelievable when you say it. Apparently the last time we had tomorrows Ref was when we won 4 - 0 away at Burton. I don't like it when all the signs point to us winning. Somehow the wheels often come off. But,, there is no point in pretending that we can't win this so geddon Bheys.

What could possibly go wrong?

I've done an astrological check, which reports " the Sun sits at an awkward angle to Uranus".

I just say, move the sun-lounger then.

The Sun sits at an awkward angle to Uranus, meaning that the day ahead may feel out of your control. Be prepared for friction to arise. Pisces, Aquarius and Scorpio, you could feel this tension heavily. Whether in the realm of career or domestic life, you will feel pulled in many …

I'm Aquarius BTW.....

 
WOW!!!!! I love this Ref. Can we have him every week. Another 4 away from home. A Hattrick and a penalty. And yes all in one game.
 
I know we’ve turned in some poor performances but I’ve never thought we were intrinsically that bad.

Cleverley’s found a system the players he’s got can perform in.

Tolaj’s back. I hope he’s on a watertight contract.

Oseni seems to have found some confidence.

Amaechi’s been on 10 minutes and scored.

Rolls’ seems to have stabilised the midfield and Edward’s’ is a born leader.

We have to build on this. The Boxing Day game is vital.
 
Now that is some Christmas present for Tom Cleverley...5-1 away from home....plus a hat trick for Tolaj.....and 17th in the league....only 4pts from eighth place....and nine from a play-off spot......this league is so even.....no wonder it is so hard to predict results.

Derek Adams seems to be some sort of talisman since he arrived......long may it last.
 
Only a half "but" there which is some improvement. Derek Adams is NOT in charge of playing stuff. Cleverley gets bashed plenty when it's not going well so ALL of the Managerial credit must go his way when it's right. The backroom staff are all part of a team and it would be daft if they didn't talk to each other and give a point of view. However it is down to the Manager to sift it all and make final decisions.

On a personal level I'm still a wee bit in shock if honest.
 
I think you'll find Plym that the improved performances and results started when Cleverley tried a 4:4:2 after several other formations during a bad run of injuries. It's old fashioned in many ways, but it suits the players we have,

That change has been reinforced by the return from injury of Joe Edwards, who, despite starting life as a midfielder, has played most of his games for Argyle as a full back.

But hey, don't let the simple facts intrude into a good conspiracy theory eh?
 
Yes I would. 30 is a huge tally and whilst I would love him to do it I would not risk betting on it. He's certainly on a roll though. Just shows you what a bit of confidence will do.
 
I watched the extended highlights on Argyle TV. The stadium was a sorry sight with large numbers of seats unoccupied. A very good turnout from the Green Army though, especially less than a week before Christmas.

It could have been 7 TBH - two good chances were missed in the first half although I’m not complaining. The quality of the finishing was good - all neatly tucked into a corner of the net with no unnecessary flamboyance.

The second goal, Oseni’s, was the best of the bunch - a good passing movement up the pitch, all neat and on the ground, ending with Tolaj slipping the ball to Oseni to score in a mirror image of the first.

Later, Tolaj failed to pass to a better placed Oseni and took an unsuccessful shot himself. I was pleased to see Oseni give Tolaj a right rollicking. Oseni seems to think he deserves the shirt now.

All in all, very comfortable although Doncaster did come back into it a bit in the second half.

They won’t all be this easy but we couldn’t have asked for more on the day.
 
Who cares who making the decisions , im happy for the manager he has come under fire from a lot people wishing him gone, these improvemnets are is and he has an older head to speak to wuth a few older heads now in the strting line up.

Hopefully 3 more wins over xmas and thats possible,, up the table we go..

Merry Christmas to you all..
