Tom Cleverley: Plymouth Argyle boss hopes results can reconnect squad and fans

Inconsistency has been a big issue at Argyle this season.

The Pilgrims had a terrible start, losing their first four league games, and have suffered long-term injuries to key players such as Xavier Amaechi, Caleb Watts and Julio Pleguezuelo.

But they won five of their six matches in September before their current tough run where a 1-1 home draw with Wigan has been the only fixture not to end in defeat and saw Argyle lose meekly at Devon rivals Exeter City.

But having gone on a winning run, Cleverley knows his players are capable of getting results, and need to return to that mindset.

“We had a terrible August, we had a fantastic September, I think we won five games and lost one in September, and you feel like we’ve turned a corner, I’m starting to change that narrative, and then we have a disastrous October,” he said.

“There’s no hiding place from that, and that has snowballed more by losing your local derby with not a great performance.

“But I’m the first one underneath that snowball and I need to gather as many troops to help stop the snowball and push it back in the other direction so that we now have a month that looks like September.”
