Shock horror Argyle are struggling and the Dogs of War have come out to play. The sad thing is before the season kicked off the great unwashed didn't go that much on this signing or that signing and were all full of who we should be signing without us having pretty much any of the cash to do it. News Flash "FANS KNEW THEIR CLUB WOULD STURGGLE" Be honest loads said so didn't they. So, now we are struggling suddenly it is supposedly a shock even though it shouldn't be.

I'll make my position clear shall I. I support Argyle and have done so through a whole load of troubled times for over 60 years. I have seen them go up and seen them go down. I've even seen them nearly disappear altogether. No matter what league they have been in I have still supported. I've been totally disappointed and totally elated in equal measure over that time. Just because they are struggling this time makes little difference to me. I want them to be successful and I want some other club to take their place in the struggle zone. However, if they go down they go down and I will still consider Saturday afternoon at 3pm to be my football experience and will still enjoy a laugh and moan after over a pint or two. It's what I do.

I will not be joining the moan brigade or calling for anyone's head to roll. We knew what team we had and we knew what kind of manager we had. I would suggest if people thought all that was utter pants at the start then they have been going to the wrong venue all this time.

I totally agree. The moaners will not go away even when the team wins. we have had highs low and lower but we still support the team and club.

I want Rooney to suceed and im sure he was going mad in the changing room, but i suppose after that he has a point. Move on lets get going again at Bristol..

Plenty of the season left ..
 
I think the three of us (plus Lyndhurst) will agree that we've seen some really good stuff from Argyle at Home Park this season. In terms of basic quality, injuries permitting, we're not far off what's required at all, which is pretty damn impressive considering we aren't ramping up unsustainable debt to do it.

At our best, we can give anyone a game, perhaps excluding the current top three, who of course on top of everything else, get those damn parachute payments. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65323385

The question is, why is our form so erratic and why in particular does this produce such an imbalance between home and away form.

I don't think it's just to do with the atmosphere at Home Park, neither do I think we're intimidated by the crowds at away matches. Our fans may be outnumbered 9 to 1 and more at some grounds, but I think the very fact that 10% have travelled so far to be present, even if they are out-shouted, must be as much a motivator for the players as the home ground.

With the best will in the world, it's what happens on the pitch that gets you results, home and away.

We are committed as a club to attacking football and recruit accordingly. So many of the games we lose badly are effectively over within the first 15 or 20 minutes. I won't repeat myself at length but we need to address that.

Well totaaly agree the footbal at home is good and we play some nice stuff, even when behind at home i dont feel we will lose except the stoke game.. Away well not great

i wen to QPR away so i saw us score get a point and two sent off we played quite well considering, i feel tha tgame if we had 11 we would have won comfortably..
