Eleyted: Summits Happening

The best away team in the league are at it again with a convincing performance and 2-0 win in East London. Archie is joined by Chris, Mark, Sam and Seve to relish the details.

The first half was a scrappy affair, with two changes enforced by contracts and injuries. Lots of Orient possession with very little threat slowly started to fade, with a couple of chances for Irow (not Eyebrow, Miami moron) giving a sense of what may be coming after half-time. Special praise for a solid back four, especially Ross, who belied his role as back-up with a confident performance.

And it was Ross chaos (Chaross?) that led to a deserved opener in the second half. A good corner, some pinball and the easiest of finishes for Bim, in the right place at the right time. And within five minutes, a second that exemplified Argyle at their best: pressure, quick movement, a wonderful first-time cross and a header straight out of the Dixie Dean era. From that moment, it never really felt in doubt. Minutes for substitutes, including a reminder of Jack McKenzie’s existence, and, to use a hateful phrase, strong game management saw the game to its inevitable conclusion. A purring review of a purring performance and, after a baby break in Bavaria, it’s back for Part 2.

Two great questions from TheGalah frame Part 2. The first explores the challenges of balancing first-team success with the development of youth players, and the second the future and current lowly position of the ladies’ team after coming so close to promotion last year. Wouldn’t be Argyle if we didn’t bring a little bit of DOOOOM to balance the frothy euphoria.

Finally, thoughts turn to the Autoglass Papa Jersey Mike’s trip to Newport and how ‘seriously’ the club should take it, and the upcoming home game against Wimbledon.

Can’t wait.
