Argyle on the up as Madjo strikes twice

“@eddie_taylor. I was only pulling your leg. I know you're an ardent fan, just that I'm a bit pedantic. Good on you for the amount of travelling you do. I did a similar amount for years until moving back not so long ago.”

“@TheMercenary, yes I was at the game, only missed 2 league games this term and thanx for spotting my mistake; I meant to say "equalised the balance of play". Keep looking for other peoples mistakes, it's an easy pass time; remember those who don't make mistake don't do anything.”

“I am very happy with yesterday's win and have been chanting in my Sheffield local. As I wasn't able to be at the match, I decided not to post a comment. Next Saturday I shall be at the New York Stadium and will give my opinions after the game. COYGs!!”

“Quiet from me because I have been out enjoying the spring like weather and not stuck in front of the pc.

Firstly well done to the team for winning two consecutive league games. That in itself is an achievement. Match stats showed that we done well although in the second half we surrendered the possession quite badly. But it has to be said that even though it was the two penalties (again) that won the team the match, in order to get two penalties it shows the pressure put on Rochdale.

I would still liked to have seen more possession in the second half but the defence done well against a good a good Rochdale attack.

Lets hope that this rise in fortunes brings about more wins for the team in the coming weeks.

There, that was not too bad, was it?”

“@imapilgrim,you are quite correct in what you say,the usual prophets of doom are missing today most of them praying for it all to go wrong on Tuesday.
Truth is the Pilgrims are improving with each match and all though there is still plenty of work to be done to get the side to gel more consistently,the Green Army can be more optimistic about the future than of late.
The first half yesterday produced some top level passing and movement with all the players looking to get on the ball,in the second half our two youngsters in midfield ran out of steam a little after putting in a terrific shift allowing Rochdale more of the ball,that area will be strengthened when Lowry and Wotts are ready to return.
Yes well played Argyle,Fetchers style of play is paying off and at the same time a pleasure to watch.”

“@eddie_taylor. You sure you were at the game? Rochdale didn't equalise. Good all round performance by the Greens.”

“ive been attacked for my comments re negativity before and as such felt the need to stay off because my views were uncompatable and not allowed , however i feel that there is more than a touch of irony in the fact that here we are with just four different contributors to this thread at a time when argyle are starting to show some signs of improvement.
why do people only want to write when they have something bad to say ???? why cant they post good comments too , thats what i am trying to say in my handfisted way :)
the silence here today is deafening AND very very dissapointing :(”

“Wise words as always Eddie.

We seem to be moving in the right direction and I have already mentioned we need to get as many points on the board as possible before the turn of the year and no doubt the dreaded injuries start to kick in (sorry no pun intended).

It is pleasing to see that the team is starting to gel - it is more pleasing to see some goals which I have said has been our achilles heel for ages. The strikers on the pitch seem to have an understanding which is more than can be said for Feeney and Chadwick together so maybe the manager will realise this and use the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it analogy". Also the keeper is playing out of his skin and with 2 other decent keepers currently at the club then it all bodes well.

More of the same on Tuesday and people may then start to realise that we are not the pushovers we used to be. HP needs to become a fortress again which it can be and then we are on the march. Rochdale and Cheltenham are both in the top echelons of the league - we have beaten one and at least an away point on Tuesday will be good to see.

Keep the faith, we can get out of the mess we have been in and look like we are now at long last trying and starting to turn the corner. Hopefully we can sign Alex MacDonald permanently so he can get over the homesickness with his family and who knows a deal for Guy as well.

It can get better and will do - lets be positive and work together as fans and not moan too loud at things we have no control over!

Keeping it green

“Argyle with back to back wins in the league are looking sharper with every game, I thought they played their best football last week at Barnet, but today's game was their best at HP for along time.

The team had a good first half and took a couple of their chances; the second half was a different affair with Rochdale employing bulleying tactics and in the main ably assisted by the ref. Although Argyle showed some resilience, it wasn't until Rochdale had equalised that the backbone stiffen and Argyle's fighting spirit wasn't going to surrender easily, they had 3 points in the bag and were not going to loose them. Although Rochdale continued to threaten they were always a bit tentative and aware of Argyle's threat from quick breakaway attacks, one of which finally earned a penalty and sealed the victory.

I must admit some of the refs decisions seemed inconsistent and biased towards Rochdale, until he awarded Argyle a second pen which we gratefully accepted.

Must mention Jake Cole who was outstanding in goal today, save a dubious pen, ably collected some crosses and his distribution was top notch. Having said that, it was another good all round performance by everyone. Things are coming together and the future looks more promising than it did 12 months ago.

No doubt some smart Alec or Bobby will take something I said and quote it out of context in order to try and score a brownie point, make the green tinted glasses accusation or some other negative comment; but I don't care because my team are putting some pride, skill and hope back into our future, warming my heart and passion once again. Just had a nice 225 mile journey home savouring another victory.”

“Let's see how good Argyle are against Cheltenham (4th) on Tuesday, a good tester.”
