Match Day Thread Plymouth Argyle FC v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 25th November 2023 - KO 15:00

Fairy Godfather Thanks Smug.
I’ll cheer for both of us, but can’t drink for both of us unfortunately, doctors orders.
Hope you can watch the game anyway.
On the train now, buzzing.

 

Plymouth have only failed to score twice this season and have a very attacking style of play so hopefully that plays into our favour. If we can beat the press better than we did against Birmingham I can see us running away with it. 1-4, Clarke x2, Rusyn, Mayenda.

 

Deffo a candidate for "both teams to score" on your coupon. Feel reasonably positive assuming we can take the Birmingham form into this game

 

Plymouth won one of the last 8 game since thumping Norwich and that was "only" against Sheff Wed. Gave Boro and Leeds a good game the last couple of weeks, but look vulnerable at the back.

Early goal and some stout defending and we should be ok. Need Clarke and Roberts to be on their A games today and really cause them some problems. Clarke v Mumba should be an interesting battle

 

Mumba been on the left for them lately so Roberts could have his work cut out. Should be a comfortable win for us though think it’ll be 1-3. Hoping one of the new strikers can get on the scoresheet.

 

Lets do a Stoke ie 9 points in 7 days , why not ATL.

 

Can see there being lots of goals in this one, which is why it's important that we convert our chances. Fancy at least one of our strikers to break their duck today. Important that our defence and midfield are on their guard, because Plymouths main strength is going forward.

Their defence is suspect and if we are on song we can rip them apart. Plymouth 2 Sunderland 5 and we close the gap on Leeds. Haway me bonny lads!

As expected really, would have liked to see Adil from the start but think that will be Wednesday

Disappointed O’Nien is back in but never mind. This is a game we should be winning if we want top 6.

 

Was never gonna drop the captain

 

Bench is unbelieveable. A good few game changers on there.......if needed.

 

Hell of a strong team and bench! Hopefully young Rusyn can start doing the biz. No Burstow on bench interesting.

 

Think he goes back in Jan, we have 3 of our own to develop who should all be in ahead of him for me

 

We still have Alese, Evans, Matete and Cirkin,(until his next injury), to return yet. Our strength in depth is unreal, and Tony will have a tough decision who to leave out if we ever have a fully fit squad

 

Also disappointed but never mind, still should be an easy win!

1-3 with Rusyn on the scoresheet

 

Strong team and a very strong bench with options.

Haway me bonny lads

 

Add Pembele, Rigg etc to that list

 

Cant believe i forgot them 2 aswell.
