Devon is Green and White! A win in the local derby to start the season! Was it worth €45 FML? Archie is joined by Chris, Mark and Tom to review a winning start to competitive football in the 26/27 season.
Part One is all about the game and it's good to be back. Never a stellar performance, but lots to like with some creative play, creative and impactful set pieces and some comical errors. Also some challenges, particularly converting the chances that were created, some nerves and some defensive lapses, but the late late show leaves everyone happy. There is a deeper dive into Trigger 2.0 and his baptism of fire and how he may, or may not, provide a like-for-like comparison with the departed Tolaj, and a Cooper 2.0 deep dive from Mark Lovell. Craig from the Mansfield Matters Podcast also joins us by voice note to talk all things Will Evans.
Part Two opens with everyone offering their new season resolutions (more data, less data, more love-ins, more arguments?) before some more traditional thoughts on the season ahead. Injuries and wage caps, kids v experience, who may take the Baidoo spot and end-of-season predictions. From there: crisps.
Finally, in Part Three (remember them?), the pod looks ahead to the League One opener at Home Park, which sees the visit of Stockport County. Chris from The Scarf Bergara Wore podcast sends his thoughts with a voice note ahead of the game. The pod then looks further afield at Argyle's opening set of games, asking whether cool heads will be needed during what is ranked as the toughest opening run in the country. There is also a look at Argyle's seemingly never-ending injury crisis and the question of just what exactly could be at the root of it.
They round off by putting out a call for their international listeners in a quest to find out whether they truly exist or whether it's just Bob in Stonehouse with a powerful VPN. Either way, thank you for listening. We look forward to bringing the season to you. If you do wish to get in touch, please see the links attached.
