I think Argyle will stay up, unfortunately. They have a decent squad, but like us perhaps, being played in the wrong way, rather than lacking enough to stay up in itself. Argyle have goals in them, which is normally enough to see sides safe. We on the other hand don't have goals in us.
Done well? I thought they had gone backwards whilst playing dull football, like playing out for a draw at our place.
yes but also thought they look more likely to stay up. Can both things be true? Suppose you could argue similar with Caldwell..
Agreed - Harris had turned things round for Cambridge - this is great news, especially as I had them finishing last in the end of season table predictions.
I stand corrected. He took over when they were 18th, and they are now 17th on goal difference.
haha that's probably what caught Millwall's eye!! Perhaps GC could move us up a place and get poached by a Championship club!!
Looking at pasoti and freechat after last night’s debacle,the fans ain’t happy with foster,and his links with Gerrard haven’t made things any better,so maybe stormy times for our green chums
I think it once more highlights how stupidly difficult it is to appoint the right manager in any club. There is this trend to appoint the 'supercoach' the next Rob Edwards or Kieran Mckenna that come from an Academy or England age group level. There are advocates on these boards. However, imo Edwards and Mckenna are an exception to the rule and these 'types' of coaches have no actual experience of the blood and guts reality of football league management. Lovely triangles on the white board but a wet night in Stoke forget it. Argyle were successful under a manager from the school of hard knocks in Ryan Lowe and his philosphy was maintained by Schumaccer. However David Horseman who was sacked by FGR, who applied for the job when Caldwell was appointed would have been an unmitigated disaster if appointed as well as Artell judging by Grimsby in free fall. I'm in a minority I suspect but I still feel that Caldwell was the best appointment at the timeLooking at pasoti and freechat after last night’s debacle,the fans ain’t happy with foster,and his links with Gerrard haven’t made things any better,so maybe stormy times for our green chums
Maybe the best of those who applied, maybe. Did we look at anyone currently employed, currently doing a good job elsewhere? Did we look at in work coaches we might be able to tempt down here. The recruitment process felt limited, which is probably why we've ended up with a very limited manager.
Horseman and another three like him would surely have resulted in an apocalypse...
