League One - Plymouth fans confident

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Was earwigging a conversation between three Plymouth fans today. They are confident of promotion based on one win. (So we're not the only ones to over-react to a win/defeat).

I think this could be a really interesting league this season with a lot of changes in the play-off places. Bodes well for us too if sides near the top are dropping points to mid-table sides

I agree. It is teams like Huddersfield we need to worry about. Teams that are almost guaranteed 3 points against teams like Rochdale, and teams we must emulate in beating the teams we should beat. We have been inconsistent in the past, but we shall be a great contender this season!!

Plymouth were so lucky Southampton looked toothless in attack on Saturday, because they would have been mauled if they had someone that looked as if they could actually stick it in the back of the net.
Apparently they are after Svetoslav Todorov

I think Plymouth will end mid-table, with us just outside play-offs, and Southampton, Huddersfield, Peterborough etc battling it out at the top.
I reckon we need another season at this level to establish ourselves and have a quality side that can survive in the Championship. We don't want to do a Peterborough after all.

Rochdale did Barnsley in the week at Oakwell and you are no mugs to win L2

Can see a rocky game on sat with these attitudes. Hope GUS has the players focused especially with our home record for the last 3 years.

I meant that we should beat teams like Rochdale if we want to aim for top six...and the Dale came third last season anyway, after stuttering towards the end of the season. 'These attitudes' is an optimistic view for the season in which I hope we do well, and I think we should beat Rochdale...

Any degree of consistency and some home form should be enough to get us to the playoffs - but I get the feeling that this year we might blow hot and cold. Time will tell of course.

Agree with that, I think people are getting a bit carried away with talk of top 6.

We haven't got enough goals to be top 6, and the squad isn't good enough for top 6 at the moment.

Top ten I rekon

In fairness to argyle fans, often teams that come down from one division are among the favourites to go up (barring special circumstances - points deductions, player exodus, etc). So the would already be confident simply for that reason, add in peter reid, and a win against the early season favourites away, it is entirely promising for them.

For us, we have the play off form from the end of last season, a win against another favourite, without our captain and last season's second top scorer from a strangthened squad, we have legitimate reason to be confident, too.

Im sorry, but I just dont buy into this, "were not ready to go up Crap and I never have!

I agree about the teams you have mentioned to do well, but theres no reason in the world to not want success this season.

It sounds a good idea in theory, but not many teams keep the same squad if they fail to get promotion and you can end up being worse off, take Swindon for example...they didnt get promotion last season and they lose their captain and striker!

We have invested in some good players and he plans to bring in more quality before the window closed as in a new striker and the left winger and then we will have a bloody good squad that can challenge. So many teams are not ready to make the leap but we have an ambitious chairman and manager and if we were fortunate enough to make the leap then they will strengthen for sure.

No we dont want to get relegated straight away from the championship and therefore the board would back Gus...Blooms not stupid is he.

But when will the time be right? When will we get promoted and have a 100% guarentee that we wont go down again?

Never, thats when.

You take any bit of success/promotion you can get and worry about stage 2 of staying up and consolidating after.

Didn`t see the Saints game but a friend told me that Plymouth were rubbish.
I`m sure if Lambert had played they would have got battered.
