    Really hard to decide.

    Under Flitcroft we were superb at Oakwell and beat all-comers - think we did Leicester, Brighton, Watford and Hull nearly one after the other, all of whom were top 6. Away it felt like we set up not to concede, and tbf with the experience we had it worked, but going into games hoping for a draw was nervy at best. All this whilst Posh were tearing it up same as us, and it going right down to the last few minutes of the last day made it utterly unforgettable. Don't forget just how awful were were under Hill earlier that season too - staying up was a phenomenal achievement.

    Under Struber we played some lovely football, always setting up to try and win games but rarely having the quality to do it - it made me think we could beat anyone as we always created chances, but also lose to anyone. Staying up this time is more of a surprise, but to score two injury time winners against clubs in the top 6 to keep us in the division after all we suffered this campaign is just amazing.

    Think overall I'd have to go with 2012/13 but both seasons will go down in folklore.

    2013 because we beat my hometown and I was there, whilst last night was on TV in a empty stadium. 2020 was the biggest great escape though because we should have been down ages ago after the start Stendel gave us.

    2013. Purely because I still don't feel entirely able to enjoy this one. Pleased for the players and in admiration of the recovery, but I'm wary of the sting in the tail.

    I remember the atmosphere around Oakwell in 2013 was also far more positive - "Don't worry about a thing", instead of the divisive atmosphere that has been an undercurrent this season.

    This one based on the age of the squad/ team,also on it being practically a new team only put together less than a year ago and finally I think the championship is a different beast to the one only 7 years ago

    Radio Sheff just said it was 1964 (Plymouth) when a team turned it around after having 9 points from 17 games

    2013 for me, just because being in the ground on the final day was unbelievable. What an atmosphere it was. Hopefully Struber can do what Flicker couldn't, and build on the survival!

    Last night, it was unreal. Set of kids written off by everyone - including ourselves, put a theoretical 2 fingers up to the rest of the world. I love it

    2013, just because I was allowed to be there.

    Imagine how amazing it would have been at Oakwell on Saturday when we scored that winner against Forest, and again last night, to be there when we scored the winner. It would have been unforgettable. As it was, it was a very very enjoyable game on the telly, but in some ways, felt just like a game on the telly.

    I feel a bit cheated today to be honest, because it just feels such a shame we couldn't go. Days like Saturday and last night are why we love going to watch our club.

    See here for Plymouth after 22 games and here at the end of the season. It was 8 points from 22 games, but it was 2 points for a win back then.

    This time, because I can genuinely see the nucleus of a very good side.

    Tough one, but I'd probably say 2013.

    This year we have a young side that can only get better, and staying up for us will be massive. I didn't see us staying up going into lockdown, and despite positive results post-lockdown, I didn't see us staying up after the eight days of failure against Stoke, Luton & Wigan. The downsides, why I'd say 2013, are the fact we had to watch it on TV, and the uncertainty surrounding Wigan. I don't think their point deduction will be overturned, but I still don't want to get too excited until it's dead and buried.

    This appeal has put a bit of a downer on this one no matter how confident people are about it being ok

    I think I'd agree with most of that!

    That’s why I can’t say I am enjoying it as much. I think the achievement if we aren’t shafted by the EFL is more remarkable this time than the 2013 one but the worry about the appeal and also the fact I couldn’t be there make this one a little bit less special

    I think this team has a lot more to build on than the one in 2013. And hopefully it will because it didn’t go too well after the last great escape did it?

    Deciding between the two, I’m not so sure. Either way, both remarkable achievements. Still on cloud nine after last night.
