"I have re-read what I wrote about Fletch, and yes, probably I was unreasonable to suggest that his attitude may not have been right while Peter Reid was manager.
A much more likely explanation for him winning his first game in charge is the…"

RODGER RUSE commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"Carl Fletcher proved that his tactics in concentrating on a tight defence as a priority over becoming a high scoring team were spot on as we avoided relegation. Apart from winning his first game in charge, his early results were not that much better…"
Gary Johnston commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"Yes, Jamie. That's why I say Fletch hasn't proved himself yet. While we scrapped & fought out some results at the back end of the season. While keeping a clean sheet gives you a good foundation,winning is still about scoring more goals…"
Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"The major concern I have with Fletch is his seeming pre-occupation with keeping clean sheets. He says he felt he had no option but to make us hard to beat this season, but on the rare occasions that the shackles were loosened, we did get some good…"
Gary Johnston commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"While Fletch did a wonderful job in getting us out of bother & keeping us in league 2. He has a long way to go to prove himself as a successful manager. He got us to the stage where we are harder to beat & we have a very…"
Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"Paul Groves was appointed Bournemouth manager on Friday afternoon, a position Fletch had been heavily linked to. Perhaps he was waiting to see whether an approach was forthcoming before committing his future to Argyle? If so, he doesn't have…"
Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"All the article says is that James Brent wants Fletch to stay on as manager, which he has stated on previous occasions. That doesn't mean he's willing to offer him terms outside Argyle's strict League 2 budget, nor does it mean he has…"

Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"None of us knows what's going on 'behind the scenes'. All we can do is sit, wait, and discuss. But there should be a Plan B, in case Fletch does decide he doesn't want it, or indeed James Brent decides that he cannot match the…"
Gary Johnston commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"We have come a long way in a short space of time however we have an even longer journey to get back to where we belong. While we would all love to repeat the efforts of 2001-4, realistically it will be a lot harder trip & we are currently at the…"
Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"We certainly have, Johnny-Glen. That said, we might yet be facing another turbulent season in the story of Plymouth Argyle. The absence of a resolution to the question of who will manage Argyle in 2012/13 is a massive issue, and if we are to have a…"
Johnny- Glen commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"Japanese. Guillfoyle. Administration. Todd. Gardner. Liquidation.
I mention these things because they haven't been seen on here for a little while. We have come a long way."
phil wright commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"The Management issue is the big priority at the moment as without that settled nothing can happen & the whole club is in limbo. Each day it drags on i feel more pessimistic on the likelihood of Fletch staying. There are obviously issues as…"
Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"I wasn't trying to suggest that our future is dependent on what other teams have done in the past. It was more a case of saying, we only just survived this season, so those who are talking about mounting a challenge for the top 3 are frankly…"
Gary Johnston commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"I don't go much on past events Jamie. History is there to be made but I take your point.
I still believe we should be aiming for a playoff place. It doesn't mean promotion but it would give the team a good launching pad for the following…"
Jamie Sheehan commented on Simon Duke's blog post 'Target?'"Looking at the League 2 tables from previous seasons, it would be most unusual for a side finishing 21st one season to launch any kind of challenge the next. I am of the opinion that we'll do well next season, but that for me means finishing…"

Target?
Well, the job is done and Argyle have managed not only to come out of administration, but have successfully defended their position in the Football League. Congratulations to everyone at Home Park, and especially to Fletch, Ro and Nance, who have combined quickly as a really effective management/coaching team.
I know this is controversial, and I'll probably get shouted at, but let's also not forget Peter Ridsdale's contribution. If he hadn't been here last year, we simply…
