The ridiculous truth is, IF we did win convincingly Monday, and finally showed the fighting spirit required. We'd be only 3 pts from safety.

AlexLaw76 Posted 7 May, 2023 Share Posted 7 May, 2023 (edited) Plymouth and Ipswich Promoted into the Championship. Both battered the league. Sheff Weds who finished 2nd would have gone up top 2 in any other tier 3 season in living memory (or in history). They would have won the league when we finished 2nd. Plymouth 101 points and champions. For their budget and resources, remarkable. Their manager is on the up.

I wouldn’t call it “Remarkable “ that they finished above about a dozen teams with bigger resource? My opinion (whether it is pony or not), a team who have lower half of league 1 resources, who are blown away financially by a handful of teams, to finish above them all is pretty good. More wins than anyone else, 20 / 23 home wins, 101 points etc. Very good IMO, which totally defies their resources. Had they scraped 2nd on 80-odd points, I would totally agree with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their American investor(s) is a plymouth born fan. Took the club on when the previous owner just saved them from going out of existence in League 2.

Saintscummer Posted 7 May, 2023 Share Posted 7 May, 2023 Just watch Odegaard score in the bottom corner with a speculative shot from outside the goal. Reminded me of what we used to do before this season. hope Selles is watching and taking it on board. Shooting in the final third will sometimes result in a goal, a save or back off the post. Isn’t rocket science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will always remember that game where they said they had too many with Covid. We were on good form. They were in danger of relegation. FA rolled over and let them tickle their belly until the transfer window came round and we lost to a completely different team.
