I know we can't control other teams' results, BUT 12:26 - Feb 21 with 6076 viewsSamWhiteUK

it shouldn't be overlooked that a winning run from us puts pressure on Wednesday and Plymouth. Let's not underestimate the psychological factors. We know that if it was us in that position, we'd be looking over our shoulders and be feeling the pressure. I mean, hell, we've been there already this year.

Let's take care of our own fixtures and that might well be enough to cause a slip-up above us

Pressure on Argyle?
I think you'll find it's all on the chasing pack and Ipswich are on their knees, play offs for you at the very best and you're certainly not good enough to win them.
League One again for you I'm afraid.

I guess we’ll see how our knees hold up over the next few games, won’t we. Still, much happier being in 3rd place fighting for top 2, than sitting 9th trying to get in the playoffs, lol.

Of course the pressure is on Plymouth, it’s literally yours to lose ffs.

What do you mean by "all of our games"? Do you mean the next three games? We'd be one point above where they are now, if we were to win our next three. But what's the significance of that timeframe?

Fair point. Although not referred to on this OP in particular I think the next 3 games is a great chance to close the gap given our nice run and Plymouths difficult run been spoke about a bit on the forum, think my mind went straight there for some reason. With a great chance to get 9 points even if we did, still highly likely Plymouth are clear of us is my point in closing the gap.

I'd take halving the gap to 4 points with 11 games left. Long way to go.

Fair enough. Yes, these are the last three of the five games that were referred to after the Sheff Wed match as being very winnable. 15 points from 5 games would surely have narrowed the gap to some extent, but of course we stuffed that up at the first hurdle by failing to score against Bristol Rovers.

I would like to think that winning the next three would narrow the gap v. Plymouth by at least 2 points, which would mean we would be 6 points behind them with 11 to play. Not impossible.

If we are serious about top 2 then surely the next 3 games have to be wins. All three opposing teams currently in the bottom 7. Dons have a terrible home record, and the other two matches are at Portman Road. Accrington and Burton lose the majority of their away games, and Dons lose the significant majority of their home games. So let's put a run together.

The need to win these three is underlined by the fact that in the following 4 games we have three away games, each against a side in the playoff places.

From Shrove Tuesday to April Fools Day then. That will define our season. Let's hope we don't give up scoring goals for Lent!

Out of that little run, Burton are the only team who I think that could be a draw, not because they are very good. But because they are really weird, one week they will lose 4-0 and then they go two games unbeaten, and then they lose again etc etc.

Get a bit of confidence in these games and then those 3 away games we have, we don't lose many games, just hopefully we can turn a draw in to a win in one of those at least.

Plenty goes on at our forum, I have been reading on here all season and wanted to put an opinion in, don't take it personally.
What I find interesting when reading "big clubs" forums are some posters who feel their club have a devine right to be Championship or Premier League clubs.
I have to say though that Wednesday are the worst, but all "big clubs" bring out the history books and list achievements they have had.
It has no relevance to today's standings, Argyle would probably be in the Championship had our dodgy owners back then not screwed us over, Wednesday are where they are because of similar and so it goes on.
The fight for top two has taken us all by surprise this season but we are there on merit but whoever gets there will deserve it, its been a relentless season with teams barely losing.
I just feel that despite the ridiculous money you've spent, you've got good players just not a good team, my fear for you is your race is done.
The next 4 or 5 games won't decide our fates the last ten will and Argyle will easily be 2nd to Wednesday before Derby win the play offs.

I think it is asking a lot, but the next 4-5 games a re key as we have soft fixtures and everyone around us has tough ones.

But we don't look like we can get out of our own way at times to capitalise on slip ups and the gap too big for me now - but be nice to be 3-4 points off top 2 in 4-5 games time and then there will be twists and turns along the way

And no one will want to face us in the play offs

We have the narrowest possible of paths to automatic promotion but we also have players who *could* click into the form required. If we can halve the current gap over the next three or four games then all bets are off.

No, you didn’t want to put an opinion in. You wanted to put the boot in. When you are virtually promoted, I get the smugness but to be honest, I’d be concentrating on enjoying the moment on my own forum rather than looking to needle the supporters of another club.

Your promotion is well deserved and you won’t find anyone on this forum saying otherwise. The achievement is all the more remarkable given Plymouth is a small club with a limited support/catchment area.

You can go away now.

I wouldn't be so confident on Derby. They are on a hell of a run, but they have a paper thin squad. An injury to McGoldrick, Hourihane et al and they have to play kids. Will be amazed if they can last the distance.

The Academy players they brought through have done well but on their registered list they have 12 players over 21. Like you say they have done well (been lucky) with injuries so far but one or two out for a while and they will struggle to keep up their current good form.

Cooper out for the season and Scarr out for a few weeks is huge for you guys, think if anyone loses out it’s Argyle. Certainly not convinced we will be the ones to benefit but I think next 3-5 are key we have 4 we would hope to win, you have 4 tough ones. If we lose ground it’s over but if we win 4, I think we will gain some ground and momentum

Our catchment area of over 1 million you mean?
Our city is much larger than yours plus we have no direct competitors in our way, there is a lot to do to play catch up but the running of the club today I would suggest is better than most and currently we have one of the best managers around.

I would say it's split on whether people are nervous or not.
Last season we were nailed on for play offs but as you say we threw it away, but that was down to a paper thin squad where now we have around 30 pros and good rotation.

But despite these losses we are still winning, the back up keeper is doing just fine and scarr is a loss but we have replacements.
I don't think we will fall away now, we haven't all season, you however have dipped badly but hopefully will pick up to stay in the race 😀
