I really hope that fans forum wasn't meant to be reassuring.

We are in very big trouble...

Sack him tonight and give us a fighting chance of staying in this league.

No words.

[Plymouth Argyle FC @Argyle]

Defeat in our final @VertuTrophy group match.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

We are so back

[Plymouth Argyle FC @Argyle]

Derek Adams has been appointed as Argyle's new Director of Football, with responsibility for the structure of the men’s first team.

Welcome back to Home Park, Derek! 💚

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

Relieved to know we've gone back to getting the basics right.

[Plymouth Argyle FC @Argyle]

Defeat at Accu Stadium.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

This squad is better than this.

Sack Tom Cleverley now.

[Plymouth Argyle FC @Argyle]

Three. Cameron Ashia.

🔵 3-0 🟢 (86)

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

If anybody at the club thought this article would reassure anyone then that is very very worrying.

A lot of words that said absolutely nothing, and all from a man who doesn't start as CEO for another 2 months.

Really strange times.

Paul Berne has admitted Argyle are going through 'a challenging period' as he prepares to officially start his role as the club's new CEO in January but has called for stability after so many recent changes on and off the pitch.

It's so depressing to see how far we've fallen

Blame lies with a lot of people for decisions over the last two years

However, performances have been diabolical & that means the manager needs to go

Hope the board have learned not to cling onto poor managers for too long.

[Plymouth Argyle FC @Argyle]

Defeat at One Call Stadium.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

Recruitment was poor and that's on Hallett, Parkinson, Fox and Randle (if he was ever involved).

But we still ended up with a squad that should be competitive for League 1.

Yet we look destined for a relegation scrap - and that's on Cleverley.

#pafc

[Argo Memes @ArgyleMemes]

Another tactical disasterclass. #PAFC

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

@AMarineEngineer @plymouthcc @FredThomasUK Thanks for flagging! I'll get these reported.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

A statement from the club's leadership is required to explain why we haven't invested adequately in the playing squad after four league games and what they plan to do to put it right in the next 10 days.

#pafc

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

We need a new keeper in by Saturday - it's a must.

What is goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond doing 😳

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

Our squad is clearly 5 proven League 1 players short...

Completely unclear on why recognition of a Palestinian State should depend on the actions of the Israeli government, and essentially be used as a bargaining chip.

This doesn't go far enough.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

BREAKING: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced the UK will recognise Palestine as a state by the United Nations meeting in September, unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire.

The government's response to the situation in Gaza continues to fall short of what is needed.

It needs to change now - we are clearly at the point of it very nearly being too late.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Israel is continuing to use starvation as a method of warfare, a war crime, and as a tool to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

The harrowing suffering of starving Palestinians in Gaza, including our own colleagues, on an hourly basis, is exacerbated by Israel’s cruel and devastating militarised non-neutral ‘aid distribution’ system. Over 800 people have been killed trying to access aid. This must stop now.

Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza must end now. Israel must immediately lift all restrictions on the entry of aid, reinstate the UN system of aid distribution and allow unfettered, safe, and dignified access to humanitarian aid throughout Gaza immediately. States must stop their inertia and urgently act to ensure Israel fully complies with international law.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

It turns out Plymouth does know better, folks!

[Sam Blackledge @samblackledge]

Breaking: Plymouth has voted ‘No’ in the directly elected mayor referendum. The city will continue to be run by a council leader and cabinet.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

The principle of the Welfare Bill - getting people into work - has always been good, but the detail was always bad.

The handling of it has been hopelessly amateurish and it's no surprise we've got to a point where it's been all but abandoned.

[Matt Smith @Matt4Compton]

@Ryanhardie9 @Argyle What a player. Go and smash it💚
