Will Argyle gain promotion to League One in May. Yes, no or undecided at present

Thankfully I was away for our latest home defeat but unless we do something about that situation very soon I'll have to say no. Playoffs and miss out again.

If we don't I'm sure the Teflon team will ensure Derek Adams is blamed and not the board.

No, having seen every team in this league id say Oxford, Northampton, Pompy and Accy will make up the top 4, if rovers pull there finger out then add them into the mix

As much as we want to - we cannot possibly argue with that

We'll be in this dog shit division as long as brent remains.

At least when we finish eighth, we will be spared the embarressment of being knocked out of the playoffs by Exeter or Wycombe.

I think after today that Northampton Town will be champions. Argyle need to remain in second spot from now until May, no easy task.

Pompey losing this afternoon was good, as Accy too.

I can see the fight for second and third place going right down to the wire .

Oxford and most other teams have games in hand, i think the top three will be out of your sights with 3 games to go, ok Rovers are 9 or 10 behind but from them to 13th is 7 pts, thats nothing if you lose a few

A case of heart ruling head if ever there was one.

Can't believe the negativity. I know some of it is tongue in cheek but look at the table. Forget Northampton, the only thing that matters is the gap to 4th and it's 9 points, level on games with most behind us, plus Pompey and Stanley both lost today.

We are sitting pretty and everyone here would say the same if it wasn't Argyle but another side in our position and at this stage.

Granted, we can still feck it up but I just don't see it. We'd have to lose 3 or 4 in a row and another team win the same to overtake us. I don't see us going on a terrible run - where's the indication for it so far this season? Even if we do, who is going to pick up the opportunity? Rovers? We more than matched them on their own patch; no great shakes. Portsmouth? 7th and going backwards at the moment.

And those other teams have got to win those games in hand though (Oxford 2, Pompey 1, Accy 3) which is not nailed on.

Pompey seem to be in rut, Oxford, the gas and Mansfield seem well placed at present, Leyton and Accy seem to be so-so, while Cambridge and Wycombe could be seen as outsiders.

It will probably be between Argyle, Oxford, the gas, Mansfield and Pompey for the two other promotion spots. Leyton and Accy will fight for the Play-Offs.

A better picture will emerge after 36/40 games are played.

until 3 weeks ago you were top (5pts clear at one point) home form is awful and you are weaker since the transfer window closed, most clubs in the top 10 have game(s) in hand, peaked to soon springs to mind

As for teams going on a run, why not? lots of teams do it, ecfc went 5 games and collected 1 point, then 4 games and collected 10, its the league we are in

Oh agreed, but on the same count 4 weeks ago i genuinely thought you lot would walk the league, when you lost to Northampton i thought it was a blip, but they are pulling away

Ofcourse they have to win them, and having points on the bpoard is better than games in hand, the problem is, if Oxford and Accy somehow win (Oxford might cant see accy doing it) then all of a sudden there are 4 teams going for 3 places 16 games left, no one has won anything yet

There's still a long way to go. Any of the top 8 could go on a run similar to N'tons 11 wins in their last 12, and cement an auto spot. Mansfield have sneaked up quietly to 5th place now. It's all about who out of those top 8 can hit a purple patch.

To state the obvious, Argyles home form is alarming. It isn't just the results. The performances have, by and large, been nowhere near the level associated with a team looking to win the league. We can't continue to depend on grinding out away wins. The home form has to improve or it could cost us. We've slipped from having a five point lead, to being five points behind with teams around us having games in hand.

The positive is that we didn't lose any key players in January. But that is tempered by the fact that a lot of our rivals strengthened their squads significantly.

And of course, this is Argyle. Screwing things up more often than not is in the DNA.

Ignoring all the usual bollox from our excretian friends and keeping yo the OP, I think yes

all the time he bites.........

anyway, most of you lot are alright, a few dicks in the mix but then every club has its share of them....tosspotty is full of them

Lot of weight on the shoulders of Carey and Jervis to raise their game and find their earlier season form,if they do well be fine if not playoffs and failiure. Two or three wins on the bounce now and well cruise, lose the next here and were fecked.

Yes, any other club and I would say they're sitting pretty. But thanks to our owner Argo is a complete basket case club with a paper thin squad which is easily and very severely affected by an injury or a loan recall. Our position looks VERY vunerable indeed. I think we'll make the nightmare of the play-offs but we should forget the autos.

I can see Carlisle being involved in the death, just a shame that Pompey and Accy let it slip a tad over the week end.

Pompey were the favourites (again) for the League Two champions spot, not looking so good at the moment. Having said that, I well remember the '82-'83 season when they went on an incredible run and won the Division Three title, trashing Plymouth on the last day of that season with their impressive away support (I am in that now famous photo that pops up every now and again, the one with the deckchair being thrown, I was 18 at the time).

They could do that sort of run again of course, but they could also fancy a trip to Wembley for a Play-Off final, a nice day out in the smoke for them and their fans.

Carlisle could creep in there I agree.

At the start of this season I said I thought Argyle would finish in a Play-Off spot, so I am still pleased that they are second at the moment and have been in the top three for the majority of the season.

I agree with comments regarding Jervis and Carey who must find that early doors form. If Argyle can go on a run themselves, then promotion could be achieved.

As has been stated, there is a lot of football to be played yet.

Nailed on - yes - in top 3 with a few games to spare. Even the departed Cox said ''Argyle are 100% going up''

Given the current gap between us and the 4th place team, realistically it would take a cock-up of monumental proportions for us not to go up.

So that'll be the play offs then.

Yep, keep an eye on that fourth spot, watch it get ever closer, you've been lucky that the wheels have come off Pompey, Accy and Carlisle at the same time as they came off you, true enough it is yours to lose, but that would at least be summat you are pretty good at.
