102. Randell & Shot Irks Decreased
53:21||Season 1, Ep. 102Regulars Chris, Mark, and host Archie are joined by guests Michael Savage (The Guardian) and Seve to break down the latest draw, doubling our away points tally at Derby with help from the returning Randell. Dissecting the familiar defensive lapse, we also ask whether recent performances against promoted teams and relegation rivals are acceptable. The bluntness in attack, and how fringe players like Wright, Sorinola, and Pleggy are faring, are also considered. We then evaluate Rooney’s start as Argyle manager, his approach to attacking football, and his media presence. Are we seeing progress or cause for concern?Any contribution towards running costs is always welcome:https://ko-fi.com/pilgrimspodcast
