Archie and Tom sit down with Plymouth Argyle Head Coach Tom Cleverley for an exclusive interview ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, beginning by looking back on a remarkable first season in charge at Home Park.

From a difficult start to a remarkable turnaround that left the Greens seconds away from the play-offs, the gaffer reflects on the highs, the lows and the moments that shaped his first year in charge. When did he realise something had to change? Why did the switch to 4-4-2 prove so successful? Was there ever a point where he wondered if he could turn things around? And what has the experience taught him as both a coach and a person?

With last season put to bed, attention quickly turns to what comes next, and whether promotion is now the expectation, the identity he wants his Argyle side to have, and whether supporters should expect more tactical evolution this season. There is also discussion around recruitment, the type of striker needed to replace Lorent Tolaj, the importance of retaining the spine of the squad, and why Michael Baidoo suddenly looks to have a potentially significant role to play after an encouraging pre-season.

It's an honest, reflective and insightful conversation with a head coach who has experienced just about every emotion in his first 12 months in the Home Park dugout.
