I am resigned to L2 next season. Not the end of the world and we should do better than if we stay in L1.

Certainly can’t say that we were unlucky today- 1-3 very much flattered us.

We did play a bit better at times today, but Plymouth predictably picked us apart most of the time…

The elephant in the room is that we’re not selling anything tangible. 50+1 is a glorified donation. Anyone savvy will look at our finances and wait til they can get us on the cheap. And as OI says, that may well mean administration points deduction in L2 with a weak squad.

Trigg - fear not, Brighton have already equalised…..

I'd presume we have to sell at close to 83p a share as otherwise we'd be unfair on the individuals who have bought shares recently. The key issue is what we are offered in working capital and ongoing support. The really bad thing about relegation is that it removes our safety season for going into administration.

Tough game today. Plymouth are an excellent team and I expect them to do well in the play offs. Unfortunately, not getting a win against Peterborough and then a draw at Lincoln and Burton are the games we will look back at and think we could have achieved. Burton particularly is a real frustration. Too many players who have seemingly gone backwards in terms of quality over the season. Hackford and Assimwe have really struggled over the past few weeks. Reeves is gone. Much rather see Nelson. Just hope we have Browne back and maybe Bugiel by next weekend. Still believe we only need a win out of the final 2 and should be good.

Two things that would make it a bad time to seek investment (1) you are desperate for funding as the alternative is administration (2) you have just dropped a league and all your financial projections suddenly look a lot worse than they did a couple of months ago. We definitely have (1) and the chances of (2) are looking pretty high as well. Ultimately whoever buys us out will do so on the cheap, but beggars can’t be choosers.

And now Spurs take the lead. Can today suck any more when it comes to football?

Agreed - belief is defo the word.

For me it is belief rather than fight. Maybe they all agree with NickD that they will give their best but it won't be good enough in the end. Couldyou imagine us coming from 2-0 down and then qualising in the last minute of injury time through Bishop?

Agree that it's not the best time to sell to investors. At the same time, if we go down the buy low sell high philosophy might prove more attractive to some - but they'd need to be in for the longish term

Apparently Argyle have a top-6 player budget of £10.3 million. [Link]

Don't think any of our players could claim a spot in Plymouths starting line up.

Yeah I’m sounding harsh on the players and don’t mean to - maybe lack of fight/desire isn’t the right way to explain it. Maybe it’s more lack of belief/self-belief.

I don’t think it’s a lack of fight or desire or effort. It’s just not being good enough. I can look at Smith not being strong enough in the tackle and say that’s evidence of a lack of fight, but he was the same last season and we got promoted. It’s just that without Browne, Hippo, and a competent forward, we are an awful team.

Yes OI I was chatting to a mate and said that we have two overlapping issues. 1. A raft of key injuries that no one could have predicted but our finances mean that we can’t field a proper side and 2. I don’t see the fight and desire from those on the pitch - as difficult as things may be I’m sensing an air of a team that lacks the ability to self-motivate

It’s because the fan ownership die hards on the board don’t even want to be doing 50+1 they wanted to keep their egos inflated for as long as possible. Meanwhile we can’t field a capable side because they can’t run the club properly.

Exeter clearly have belief and we don't. No accusations about not trying or not caring but we seem to expect to lose. The defence were shocking most of today, if Plymouth hadn't seemed to want to make passes rather than shoot it could have been 6 or 7.

We didn't move faster because certain people voted against 50+1 which deterred investment. It was a mistake that may haunt us.

I agree that the investors will definitely be holding off until they see what league we are in. I would expect that there will still interest even if we are in L2, but on significantly worse terms. Really the time to have sold a stake was at the start of this season when we had the feel good factor of promotion- no idea why we were so slow on this, it’s not as if our financial woes are new news

Not a terrible performance and no lack of effort but we simply don’t have good enough players if a few of our key men are missing. Exeter are on such a good run that it’s hard to see them not getting at least 3 points from here, so we really have to win one of the two remaining games- I can’t see 2 draws being enough. If we go down it will be hard to say that we won’t have deserved to- having had a run of 1 point from 9 games

Wonder If we’ll get an update on the interested investors. Laurence pressed the issue after the vote went through and didn’t exactly get a good answer

Both our remaining games are against teams with nothing to play for. If we can’t get enough out of those then we will be rightly relegated. I wonder how many of the ten interested investors are holding off on conversations until we know what division we’ll be playing in?

It would be good for us if Peterborough beat Burton tomorrow. That would leave Burton on 51 points. That means they would need to beat Exeter next week to be safe. And if Exeter win then Burton are in trouble.
