  Episode #232

  Brewers Droop

  Sep 27, 20261h 22mS1

  Excitement before the game, followed by a lacklustre performance. And Argyle lost at home to Burton. Archie is joined by Chris, Mark and James to review a confusing 0-1 defeat. No changes to the previous (league) starting line-up, with many rested for the cup win against Crystal Palace Under-11s in the week. Tom dials in with a level-headed summary, and there is a creeping sense that things were not as bad as some are making them out to be. A strong start from Burton, but it was Argyle who created the clearest chances, with two tricky headers which, on another day, would have led to a radically different outcome. A potential penalty, some Burton half-chances, but all square at the break. Rinse and repeat in the second half, as Burton slowly ramped up the pressure, and the goal, when it came, did not feel undeserved. It also seemed to set a light under the home side, who created at least three more clear chances, none of which were taken. Whether you're an xG junkie or just a long-suffering fan, you knew it was going to be one of those days. Some praise for Amaechi, and disappointment, for him as much as for the result, that he didn't get a goal to continue the renaissance. All in all, BLEDDY ATYPICAL. In Part 2, the absent Tom is back with a rallying call and, after some 200 episodes, has decided to agree with Archie. A call for positivity is debated, but the mood overall is positive in light of a home defeat. And a long-overdue win for the women's team was preceded by a local moment of unity, raising funds for 18-year-old Torquay player and former Green, Roxy Thomas. Click here to donate if you can. Finally, there is a look ahead to Archie's upcoming away day in Leyton to watch Orient. Will the away form continue? Will Cleverley mix things up (Bakinson is unable to play)? Will Archie get a full night's sleep? Either way, we can't wait. Things wrap up with some Rooney nostalgia and randomness. Wouldn't have it any other way. Hosted on Acast.

  Episode #231

  Bloomin' Marvellous

  Sep 20, 20261h 23mS1

  In this week's episode, Archie is joined by Alex, James, Michael and Mark as they dissect yet another Argyle win, this time a thumping 4-2 away victory at Blackpool. With goals galore and the goal of the season shortlist growing by the week, there's plenty for the five to sink their teeth into. Particular praise goes to Harvey White, Ronan Curtis and Bim Pepple. They briefly linger on the negative of the two goals conceded, looking at the possible wider theme of Argyle conceding similar types of goals. But they soon return to the overwhelming positives, revelling not only in another superb attacking display but also the various "avenues" Argyle now seemingly have to score from. In Part Two, there's a mix of views, from giddy talk of promotion and the ringing of bells regarding a promotion tilt to a call for calm and everything in between. There's a brief look ahead to Crystal Palace and Burton, as well as a mention of poor Freddie Issaka, who's having a loan to forget up at Gateshead after being subbed off at half-time with his team 6-0 down. There's also time to dig into a few listener questions and, as ever, keep them coming, they're greatly appreciated. In a rare and rogue Part Three, those who remain turn the clocks back 15 years for an admin-themed quiz. Until next week, try to keep your feet on the ground. It's all looking rather good, isn't it?

  Episode #230

  Irow's Barn Burner

  Sep 13, 20261h 8mS1

  Everyone looked forward to recording this one, and Tom is joined by Alex, Chris and guest Sam Roberts to review a near perfect 3-0 home win. What a start. The kick off plan - referenced by the scorer and the coach - worked perfectly and a shitpinger for the ages showed parent club Spurs what they are missing. Hard to put a strike like that into words but everyone has a go. There is also a clear sense of a plan (press hard, take risks, exploit set plays) being put in place and executed by 11 confident and capable players, finally coming to a head with the simplest of goals from a goalkeeping error from a long throw. Half time and the only fear became that this was too good to be true. It was not too good to be true. The third goal came from some quintessential Aribusitamunoipirim (h/t Dan Cole) and from there, there was a relatively unique Argyle luxury of changes to rest players, give minutes and to manage out a game with ease. What a day. Part 2 is all about goals - early, best and favourites. With thanks to those of you jumping on the PASOTI thread, some remember better than others some early goals and then everyone answers Pastyboy's question about the best and favourites. Interestingly the theme seems to be 30 yarders by loan players... On to Blackpool and 'hopefully something to moan about' Any contribution towards running costs is always welcome: https://ko-fi.com/pilgrimspodcast Hosted on Acast.

  Episode #229

  3:2 Won. Liftoff?

  Sep 5, 20261h 13mS1

  s it March again? Archie is joined by Chris, Mark and Radio Devon's Drew Savage to celebrate a swashbuckling away win in South Yorkshire. We start with Drew's view of Drew's match review (Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub for those of a certain generation) before a review of a largely competent first half, playing positive attacking football. A deserved goal - amazing what could happen when you shoot on sight - and what would have been a second but for a marginal offside decision. After a blip of a penalty and the inevitable Alfie May goal (TYPICAL), it became the tale of substitutes. All introductions had an impact with a fantastic cameo from high energy Watts, a resurgent Owen Oseni and a blistering 20 minutes of attacking football. Even a last minute consolation didn't take the edge of a great day. Part 2 looks back over the first five games which - allegedly with Stockport - were the toughest in the division. A consensus that Leicester still feels like a missed opportunity, some good and some bad is an improvement on this season. Some reader questions are revisited (skip this if you have never watched The Bill) including a heartfelt shout out to the art of goalkeeping with Mark Lovell. A quick look forward to Barnsley which, such is the unpredictable nature of the season so far, is more optimistic after today's showing. Especially as Drew takes us back to 4 years to an all time classic away win at Derby.  3-2 wins are just great, aren't they?  (And best wishes to Morgan Whittaker: go well in Colorado.) Housekeeping: Appreciate my tired rambling at the end may not have been the clearest. Just to clarify, episodes will possibly be out a little later than usual over the next few weeks, but the absolute latest will be early Monday morning. We’ve had some lovely comments recently from people saying how much they appreciate the early releases and listen on the way home from the game or in the early hours of Sunday. I just wanted to acknowledge that and say thanks ever so much for the kind words. Cheers, all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Episode #228

  Leicester We Forget

  Sep 2, 202643 minS1

  A short review of a frustrating night in Leicester. Archie is joined by Chris and Mark right at the final whistle to discuss an underwhelming 2-0 defeat. It all started so well (sort of) with Russell Martin + VAT tippy tappy in your own 6 years area crab ball being pressured with great success and creating a series of half chances. Was it a lack of execution, a predatory striker or confidence that meant we were unable to take advantage? Either way the guile was not matched by the goals and a daft two minutes effectively put the game to bed in injury time of an extended first period. Some might say - typical. The introduction of an actual striker on the hour mark saw some actual shots being taken but no actual goals. And Leicester sat in third gear as Argyle huffed and puffed to little effect. There is frustration that the high budget opposition seemed there for the taking but also a sense this was not a catastrophic away collapse. Impotent and blunt are used too frequently but this was very raw. A quick look forward to Doncaster and a look back to the famous Holloway defeat for some cheer wrap up a short, not too doom, not too happy episode. Back for more at the weekend for the visit of mighty Doncaster. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
