v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 15/2/2025

[West Yorks Rover]

Millwall had won 4 on the bounce before last night's battering, one of those was in the Fa cup at Elland Road 0-2.

2 of the 3 league wins were away from home.

The new Plymouth manager's tactic is all about intensity and those 2 big CB's will do anything to keep the ball out

of that net. I think we would be better to leave Cantwell at home, he's not exactly Billy Bremner when it comes to a 

physical encounter, is he ?

We need to keep that galvanised spirit going into the weekend - as ever, things like form and momentum mean everything in this league.

I'd be tempted to go with the likes of Dennis and Kargbo from the start and try to get some early goals.

But I suspect we'll go with the more cautious approach of Dolan and Hedges as starters, to give us that wide defensive cover for the fullbacks - which worked really well at WBA.

Then the more attacking boys will come on in the second half / final third to try and win it for us.

Personally, I'd be brave and go for it from the start - first goal usually tells.

Plymouth have done really well recently but they have also had a penalty in each of their last three games. Hopefully we can keep them from scoring…and not give a penalty away. Need to be disciplined.

Weirdly this game concerns me more than WBA did. These lot are a completely different outfit to the Plymouth under Rooney (who already beat us once this season). They’ve not been good away from home but we’ve seen before that we’re pretty good at ending other teams losing runs.

Looking at West broms upcoming games they have a tough run coming up which can fall into our favour if we can capitalise 

Yes, then he looked at our final three games of the season...

All of those games could be against teams not playing for anything. Would rather be playing them then. Even if they are crucial for the opposition it's when teams bottle it. Would rather have the points in the bag early and even if not, I wouldn't put it past us to get some points then

We ended last season with away games at Leeds and Leicester and won them both.

He's not even a Pedersen when it comes to a physical encounter

I can’t see ol’ Lowey changing much here. I’m going Kargbo over Hedges as I think we need a bit more, attacking wise. But It wouldn’t surprise me if he goes the same again.  Plymouth on a decent run which plays into our hands…mid block, play on the transition!

                        Pears

                 Travis.     Bucko

    Dolan.       Weimann.       Kargbo

                       Drogba

Subs - Toth, JRC, CB, Hedges, Forshaw, Cantwell, ACD, Woodrow, Dennis.

2-0

He actually was Drogba vs West Brom! 😍🤣💪🏽

This is definately a rovers typical banana skin. Bottom three but theyve won their last two. Perhaps the ideas of the new manager are beginning to sink in. However, I hope they dont go cautious and play hedges and Weiman from the start. Is Beck fit?

Here's Plymouths form. Home, Plymouth 2 wba 1; Plymouth 5 Millwall 1; Plymouth 0 burnley 5. Away, stoke 0 Plymouth 0; Oxford 2 Plymouth 0; Coventry 4 Plymouth 0; sheff utd 2 Plymouth 0. They haven't had many wins on the road, but they'll be up for this  to try and get out the bottom 3. I would like to see an attacking formation from Rovers, let's go for the 3 pts.

I agree, there away forms not that good, and they've a long trip to ewood park. Let's field a team with attacking intent, and get into them from kick off.

There was a difference last season, desperation and survival. We've a habit of beating higher up teams, then throwing the good work away to defeat from lower teams. Let's get into them from the start tomorrow.

Woken up and confident of a win. One potential kicker is how much work Eustace had done with the players specific to the Brom game. They will have benefited from that but won't have that advantage against Plymouth. I'm sure there will have been some work on it amongst the coaching staff but this might be where we see how good they are at transferring that to the players.

 

I still think Plymouth's away form is key. Bottom of the league on that and any team near the bottom is unlikely to get a long run going so they are due a defeat given recent results. Can't see them getting four wins on the bounce, three of them in one week. It's hard for even a play off level team to get that level of consistency.

 

I previously said 2-1 but can feel a 3-1

Sorry, pet hate.

I predicted a 0-3 win against w.b.a. I'm going for a 5-0 win to Rovers.
