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.

I think Alister Smith might win our goal of the month

To be glass half full about things… Huddersfield got a decent 3-3 draw at Bolton today but really needed to win. Their hopes of a playoff place effectively if not mathematically over. Which means if we can find some desire and fight then they might not be able to steamroller over us like everyone else does at the moment.

We have done far better this season than i was expecting , shame we are going down after being 11th with 49 points on the 11th of march.

On top of the injuries, from the look of it we could have done with not injuring Stewart more or less first training session. Looks like if he’d got more games under his belt, he could have been OK for us.

Wigan 3 wins in a row 8 goals., huddersfield 3 draws in a row and 7 goals.

This does have the premier league relegation season vibes........I've been saying just that for weeks. Nothing at Wigan or at home against Huddersfield.

I do think if we play like that for the last 2 games we can get something out of at least 1 of those games.

The Fishy now has us going down on 50pts fourth bottom

Silk - I love your optimism but we won’t get another point

At least Orient still look interested in going down after losing 0-2 at home to already relegated Rotherham.

Silk 100%. All started with the Tilley injury when we were really comfortable and looking good for a safe 60 or so points. 4 key players gone in the next week or so including him fucked us.

Harrogate score in the 99th minute
