Argyle v Oxford

Yes, made hard work of it against an under par Oxford, but vital 3 points, especially as all those around us won. Watched it on ifollow and at times it seemed as though the players and fans didn't really want to be there, very subdued.

Er, did this game take place tonight?  Do believe i'm fated not to go to HP anymore-fecking car started smoking behind the drivers side back wheel and a smell similar to when the clutch burns out-anyone know what that may be, brake cylinder perhaps? 3 games missed now when i've had a ticket, a real piss off. Anyway, good win tonight, should have been more by all accounts but a welcome 3 points-all the others won as per usual though.

Sounds like the brake shoe or pad binding? Only time I've had it was when I fitted new rear shoes and had them just ever so slightly touching the metal surface which then heats up and locks the whole thing up. Shoes and disks have the same compound on them hence the clutch smell. Hard to say without looking at it but deffo needs to be looked at. May just be a clip or something come adrift.
Other thing maybe the handbrake binding on? Chock your wheels well, release handbrake and jack the offending wheel up, spin the wheel and you will hear  it binding or it won't turn.banging the wheel with hammer and working handbrake may free it up.

Cheers mate, think it must be pads but getting it checked out this morning-hopefully the short drive to Tavvy won't be too risky. Damn nuisance really, already lost £50 in unrefundable ticket money after that big smack between Yelvy and Roborough stopped any chance of getting to the Bolton game but at least the team is doing pretty well without me.

Argyle should have put Oxford to bed but, as usual poor finishing let the side down. Not a bad goal and it's three points in the bag. Well observed minute silence for HRH Queen Elizabeth II.


Got well soaked sat in the lower Mayflower seats.


Up next is the top of the table clash against Pompey and that should be a cracking game.


The screen looks OK.

I naively thought Village we would be dry in row F in the lower Mayflower, but no we got soaked also. Guess I will need to book my tickets a bit sooner.
Maybe Hallett should go and sit in the first few rows on a rainy Tuesday night to soak up the matchday experience ha ha.

Agree also the screen was quite impressive.

Saying this is going means the end of it next time out but 11 clean sheets in the last 12 home league games is beyond impressive.

God knows how many we’d have scored if it weren’t for some woeful finishing. Should have been way more than one. Then rode our luck when their lad missed a proper sitter.

Big screen really adds something with all the chances being replayed via ArgyleTV.

Needed the three points badly and deserved them with the sheer number of chances carved out.

Was very odd seeing Mayor sprint to the changing rooms after being subbed. As if his missus waters had just broke or summat!

I think he had the shits or something. The reason given for being subbed was that he was "unwell", when I would have thought Azaz (who was poor, in terms of the standards seen thus far) would have been the more obvious switch.

Ironically given the heavy weather, we made heavy weather of limited opponents. We really ought to have scored in the first 15 minutes had we taken any of at least 3 acceptable chances. The passing and movement was slick in general but often broke down by sloppy execution in the final 3rd . The goal when it came was well taken, although the goalie might have done better. 

A good 3 points but will need to be sharper especially in next couple of games.

Got a feeling the Portsmouth game will be a cracking contest, both sides are in-form. On fire Ipswich Town at home should also be a corker of a game. Probably the best time to be playing these two sides and should Argyle get six to four points from the two games, then that will send out a message to the other sides.

Good win!

That would explain it then. Shame as he was outstanding in the first half.

They're eating too much of that 'artisan' shite from early bird after training.

He actually caught a whiff of Nool from the stands.

He had the shits

Didn't just smell one

we where lively lots of pressing plays shooting was awful for both teams at times. How mumba missed that 1 yard shot i will never know. It was a good win whittaker took his opportunity well to break the deadlock in a game that was destined to end 0-0 otherwise...Shame two fans in teh devonport end decided to pitch invade then get into a punch up with the stewards afterwards when they went to detain them but thats what happens when kids drink on a school night.

very respectful silence and singing of the national anthem in tribute to the late Queen not on a par with Rangers tonight however but still great never the less,

we are on a roll and looking strong

Speaking of which Nool seems to be maitaining his residence in the Directors box, is that still Brents residual patronage or what?

Must be paid for by someone. He is a beacon of hope to social climbers everywhere.
