What better way to start the week? It’s the Zak Attack…

Welcome back to Home Park, Champers. It’s a bumper episode this week as we play through to 24 league games and multiple cup competitions.

You join us as Niall Warnock’s Plymouth Argyle side are leading the way in Division Two. The team – spearheaded by George Ndah and George Weah regen Jonathan Ngabe – have won nine of the first ten league games. Let the carnage continue!

The Windscreen Shield is first up, and a group fixture against Charlton. A third minute Ndah goal sets the tempo as we hit four first half goals. A 5-1 win and qualification to the next round. Could this be a winnable competition?

We welcome the versatile Jamie Warren for a modest £350k from Sheffield Wednesday. Warren is the regen of Mick Duxbury, and can play in the middle of the park from sweeper to central midfield. He won’t light up division 2, but is a great utility player to have on the bench, and will do a job. Welcome, Jamie!

Back in the league, we’re off the Boundary Park for one-time nemesis Oldham. You may recall they knocked my former side Cheltenham out of the playoffs. Seems so long ago now.. anyway it’s first vas second and George Ndah makes sure we take home all three points.

We follow that with another clean sheet – this time in the League Cup against Premier League side Derby. A 0-0 draw is enough for us to secure an unlikely aggregate win. This is great stuff!

A Dmitri Gadilenko red card against Bury is not enough to derail to Argyle freight train. We go from 3-0 up, to 5-1 after the penalty. Ndah and Nagbe joined by Wilkins and Hopkin amongst the goals.

After the game our young Irish center half, Dominic Crawford, has his release clause triggered by Premier League club, Wimbledon. It’s a hefty fee, and more cash to reinvest in the promotion push.

To be fair, Crawford may have earned the price tag going off his stats and (relatively) clean disciplinary record.

We still manage to keep a clean sheet without him. Gadilenko and Riccy Scimeca now marshalling the defense.

It’s another first vs second tie, as Norwich come to Home Park. Another clean sheet is enough to keep the canaries caged, and our unbeaten run for this episode goes on.

An early Scimeca own goal gives the lads a scare at Reading. We don’t get on the scoresheet until 53rd minute, and then follow up with two more to secure the three points. It’s good to see the lads digging in!

The Orient Express cannot derail our fine form as Nagbe and Hopkin score again. Muzzy Izzet – surly too good for this division – limps off after a tough challenge from Cambiasso.

A quick league table update after 16 games shows us comfortably leading the way.

Third-placed York are the next side to venture to Home Park. Nagbe and Hopkin both score for the third game in a row to ensure we win in a tight affair.

The lads are on fire at the moment. Their form means bigger clubs start circling.. no less than 18 ‘wtd’ signs. Lovely. I may have to recall young defender Valentine, as we are a defensive injury away from problems.

It’s Premier League opposition in the League Club third round. A stoic defensive effort and efficient finishing means we scrape through 1-0, despite being on the back food for large periods of the game. Well done, lads!

Back in the league the Nagbe:Hopkin show goes on as Milwall are shocked after getting an early goal.

In the Windscreen Shield we face Peterborough. I rotate some players and play some of the youngsters. George Ndah leads the way in a 2-0 win.

Sticking with the cup ties.. The FA Cup first round attracts a bumper crowd. Bradford are in the playoff mix in Division 2 but can’t keep up as the lads breeze to a second half victory.

Hopkin + goals = league wins. (My love for the ginger Scot cannot be understated).

It[s our third home game in a row. An uncharacteristic feisty affair against Hull still garners the result we need.

The random fixture generator throws up a fourth successive league game. Victory again, and if you’re paying attention its a fourth goal on the bounce for Nicky Forster regen, Pates.

All good things come to an end. This episode would be boring if we won every game… (yeah, right!). Not sure what happened here. Congratulations to Southend, a team fighting relegation and pulling out a shock win.

Back in the Windscreen Shield and fellow Division 2 side Swansea are hosts. After conceding first the lads don’t drop their heads and battle through.

It’s 26th of November and George Ndah enters the record books.. He’s got six more months to add to the tally.

The city of Plymouth is buzzing as the velvet FA Cup bag draws us against local rivals Exeter City in the FA Cup second round. I tell the lads to assure bragging rights and they duly deliver in a game that’ll live long in the memory. Youngster Pates gets the party started before Nagbe scores two and Pallister rifles a Frimpong in top bins. 4-0 at halftime.

The MoTD co-commentator Trevor Brooking claims it could be seven or eight if we keep the same tempo in the second half. Curse of the commentator indeed.

Never a doubt.

Another record. It’s 30th November. George Weah junior could get to fifty… let’s try!

We’re back in cup action – this time the League Cup. Premier League side Sheffield Wednesday are next and have no answer for the Ndah/Nagbe combo. This season could be special. Couldn’t it?

George Ndah is attracting some attention as I am forced to fend off bids. 32 games, 24 goals and 17 assists. HOLD ON.

Ndah is rubbing my and their noses in it now…

I manage to keep Ndah, but do lose youngster Pates. I didn’t risk the tribunal so have to bre content with £1.4m.

It’s been a journey of an episiode, but I have to end it on a sour note.. We bring up our 24th league game with a loss at promotion hopefuls Bradford.

Despite the loss, we are ten points clear of Norwich City. It’s certainly our title to lose at this stage!

I hope you enjoyed this installment of WATW. Join us next time as we navigate the FA Cup, League Cup, Windscreen Shield and the league… Phew.
