Cheltenham-The 2nd Best Racing Event Behind Aintree (Cheltenham Match Thread)

Good win today against the mighty Cheltenham!

One more win and my pants will be comfortable.

Not safe yet, but a relieving return to form after the York debacle. For once other results seem to have gone our way as well. Still very close though.

Torquay have a 6 pointer against Barnet, and then two matches against teams with nothing to play for, so I can see them picking up points.

Tougher for York, got to visit promotion chasing Northampton, but Daggers and Southend are matches they can definitely get something from.

Aldershot have 5 games left, and are on a decent run so they can't be ruled out either.

I reckon we need another 4 points to be sure of safety.

Three draws or a win will do it now IMO.

Just imagine if we'd have had Sheridan from the start of the season, or at least much earlier.

Didn't need him. We had an 'exceptional individual' in charge.

There's not really much else Brent can get so wrong.

Is there?

just imagine what john sheridan could do next season if the specy tw@t backs him with a new contract, allow him to have his own backroom staff and most importantly backs him with funds so he can build a squad that can go places.

But i live in 2013 and some Argyle fans clearly havent left 1996 and want us to hire Neil Warnock as if he would last 6months under brent lol

Top performance from Argyle today.organised and committed,very dangerous on the break,the only criticism would be the waste of quite a few very good chances in the second half to really bury Cheltenham.Bryan had a storming game today,looks like a player now,Young and Nelson [a surprise but effective selection] filled the midfield vacuum very well,Bhasera dominant along with the rest of the defence.As Freathy said,what might have been had Sheridan been appointed last September/October.Hope some very harsh lessons are being learnt from this episode and near disaster-i think Argyle will stay up comfortably but it was a darned close run thing-any more delay and we'd have been down.

Sadly I can see the banker only offering Sheridan a laughable contract which he quite rightly will turn down. I expect someone cheap and shit to replace Sheridan in the summer. Another season propping up L2 anyone?

BRENT OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

actually this isnt as daft as it sounds...............

spend bugger all on the team - season of struggle - higher gates at end of season as games with an 'edge' increase attendance - spend on loan players near end of season - club stays up JB the hero

spend a bit on the team - mid table - average gates slide as no one cares much for mid table mediocrity


spend loads on the team - promotion ? play offs? nice BUT expensive

Look how far we've come. Fans of poxy no mark shit Cheltenham reacting like that because they were 100% expecting to wallop us at least 4-0. But they learnt the hard way that since carl the clueless has gone the great Home Park points giveaway has ended. If you spread Sheridans points gained from his time here over a season we'd be where they are now. Cheltenham will always be non-league shit IMO - if they go up they will be straight back down again. But having said that those fans paid a lot of money and if they're not happy they have every right to voice displeasure without that chump of a manager having a go back at them.
