The podcast that no one wanted but everyone was secretly expecting. How to dissect an encouraging, yet ultimately meaningless, win.

Archie, Chris, Drew and Mark are joined — heroically — by Preston fan and pod host Josh McLoughlin in Part 1. Inevitably, the focus is on Luton’s Laurel and Hardy-style 90th-minute winner, which had a huge impact on both teams just 30 minutes before kick-off.

Argyle rode their luck, Preston ran out of ideas, and somehow dragged themselves back into relegation trouble. Is it worse to be pulled into the battle at the last minute, or to have been stuck in it for five months? What can a head coach realistically say when asked about his future?

Either way, it’s 2–1 to the League One Boys — as serenaded by the magnificent Green Army, who are rightly praised after a standout performance in the stands on such an unusual and ultimately disappointing day.

Part 2 sees thoughts turn to League One and potential retained players. Who will stay, who will go, what will Muslic do — and will he even still be here? None of us have any real idea, of course, but it's good therapy.

Finally, we look ahead to Leeds and one last game in the second tier.

For now, anyway.
