Maybe play a central three Morton, Slates and Seri..Delap wide right with Tufan playing in the hole behind Connolly. Maybe rest Philogene on the bench. Macca in for Greaves to partner Jones. Vinagre left. Not sure if Coyle is back. Christie then. Tough choices for gaffer. Bench: Twine, Tarore, Lokilo, Vaughan, Furlong, Smith etc...
This should be a game that suit our playing style, they appear to be an offensive team, rather than a team that sets a low block which we struggle to break down. Their away form is not the best, let's hope that continues.
They are very attacking so I suspect we will begin with caution. The grumbling about passes in our defensive third are inevitable, I fear.
Need to be vigilant ... their result against Norwich a little deceiving... 2 goals in injury time end of the first half and one in injury time end of the second.,.. so we need a referee who's not in the 14 minute added brigade.
Plymouth used to be called Sutton. The settlement of Plympton, further up the River Plym than the current Plymouth, was also an early trading port. (See Plympton for the derivation of the name Plym.) As the river silted up in the early 11th century, mariners and merchants were forced to settle downriver, at the current day Barbican near the river mouth. At the time this village was called Sutton, meaning south town in Old English.The name Plym Mouth, meaning "mouth of the River Plym" was first mentioned in a Pipe Roll of 1211. Plympton Priory owned land at Sutton and secured a charter from Henry III in 1254 granting the priory the right to hold a weekly market and annual fair at Sutton, making it a market town. The naval nickname for Plymouth is 'Guz' which stems from the Indian word for the measurement of a yard. The term Guz was used by seamen instead of Dock yard. Town full of guzzlers, you're just a town full of Guzzlers...

The name was later changed to ‘Argyle’ because the founding members had rooms in Argyle Terrace in Plymouth Captain Robert Falcon Scott (of the Antarctic) was born in Plymouth John Howland fell overboard the Mayflower during a storm and was almost lost at sea but managed to grab the topsail halyards, giving the crew enough time to rescue him with a boat hook. His descendants include Franklin D Roosevelt, George H W Bush, George W Bush, the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and Humphrey Bogart. Plymouth-born Trevor Francis was the first player to command a £1 million transfer fee in English football.
An 1852 government report found that Plymouth suffered from terrible overcrowding and unsanitary conditions. It stated that in the whole of Europe only Warsaw had worse conditions, thus Plymouth had more bedbugs than Portugal had hotel beds. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
You keep saying the things we're doing won't be enough for top 6 but we are factually in the top 6 doing exactly what we've done so far. Keep up our current levels across the board and we make top 6.
We are 12/13th ( I think ) in the home form table, if you think that kind of home form is going to be enough to keep us in the top 6 then fair enough.
Plymouth have played with 4 at the back all season with the exception of the Norwich game. Last season they also typically played with a back 3 with 2 wingbacks pushed far forward. With only 1 point on the road this season I imagine they will stick with the back 3 or 5. If they do push their full backs on we should have loads of space out wide so would be tempted to have Philogene and Delap occupying these areas.
We won't be in the top 6 come the end of the season with a home form of 13th. We are doing very well and your absolutely right we are in the top 6 right now ( hence why I said keep us in the top 6 ). But our home form has to improve or we won't stay there for long. Ignore it all you want but it's the way it is.
Stoke played a back 3/5 and left Philogene in loads of space a few times. Suspect that was part of what Alex Neil was talking about when he said that they were so poor tactically. Doesn't mean that Plymouth playing a back 3/5 would go the same way, they might execute it a lot better, but it's something to keep an eye on.
They may keep more in a defensive 5 and try and deny the space and hit on the break but they have been attack-minded all last season and this. Teams that sit in, we struggle against. If I was them I’d sit and and not press. Look to hit on the break.
