Plymouth 15:00 Cheltenham

Pressure is on now from the fanbase to get a win particularly at home, the mighty Cheltenham Town are going well in third place on 17 points after winning their last three games.

I’d take a draw

Viva Aviva

Another clueless defensive display

Argo 1-2 Cheltenham

Return to form and 2-0 victory

Obviously hoping for a win but tbh I don't feel that confident, however if we repeat the Crawley performance then it could be good news.
At least a draw.

Cheltenham playing some decent football, could be a long afternoon.

Need a win - classy all guns blazing attack would be preferable!! Fire ‘em up Lowey!!

Lots of Progressive football, but Cheltenham take the points.

ARGYLE manager Ryan Lowe is hoping to combine hard work and a smattering of luck to get his Pilgrims climbing up the Sky Bet League Two table with a run of victories.

The Pilgrims welcome third-placed Cheltenham Town to Home Park today after coming within five minutes of a valuable 2-1 win at Crawley in midweek, when the hosts pinched a point following a challenge from Callum McFadzean on Town striker Reece Grego-Cox.

While it was disappointing not to come away with the three points our performance deserved, the dominant spells enjoyed by the boys in Green gives the gaffer plenty of belief for the future.

“We could possibly do with a little bit of luck here and there,” he said. “If the lad [Grego-Cox] doesn’t tangle his legs with Fadz’s feet, then it’s not a penalty,

“We could do with being a bit clever, but as long as we keep creating chances and playing the football that we are, then nine times out of ten you’re going to put the ball in the back of the net.

“We don’t want to be too disrespectful to Crawley but you’ve seen what we’re about, we’re on top in most games with our possession stats and everything that comes with it, the shots on target, which was 14 or 15 shots, so you get two good goals and possibly should have more. The way we play through the thirds, we pass the ball well and, when we do that, we look a good team.”

It is, however, a long road of challenges to overcome before becoming the excellent team Ryan has planned for Argyle and it will be a case of ramping through the gears.

Cheltenham have shown what a run of form can do for your league position, jumping to third with three successive wins, and the Pilgrims are naturally keen to begin their own sequence at Home Park this afternoon.

“I’ve said to the boys, we’re an OK team at the moment, but you’ve got to go through the gears to become a good team, then a very good team and then you become an excellent team,” said Ryan.

“It’s a very long road and we need to put in hard work. As long as the lads keep up the effort on the training pitch and they listen to what we’re saying, the results will come.

“The attitude and work ethic are second to none in terms of putting bodies on the line for us, we know that the football side is coming, the football is exciting. I’ve been playing that way for several years, although there’s a few cracks in the tiles that we can improve on.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day, it’s a long season and we’ve got to work tirelessly hard. We’re in September, we’re not on as many points as we want but we’re eight weeks into the season. We know there’s room for improvement all over the pitch but we’ll keep improving and, when you do that, the results start coming.”

You won't get it on Devon unless you live in the muff, we've been black balled by the DAB bheys.

For some reason I get on it on Dab in dorset just not through the tv only through my dab radio.

no idea how that works

Argyle: Alex Palmer; Josh Grant, Will Aimson, Gary Sawyer; Joe Edwards; George Cooper, Antoni Sarcevic, Danny Mayor, Callum McFadzean; Joel Grant, Dom Telford.

Substitutes: Mike Cooper, Scott Wootton, Niall Canavan, Ryan Taylor, Conor Grant, Klaidi Lolos, Adam Randell.

Midfielder Jose Baxter was taken off in the closing stages of the 2-2 midweek draw at Crawley Town with what Ryan Lowe described as cramp, but he also hinted at a slight hamstring problem as well.

Baxter is not in the Argyle squad this afternoon so presumably that is the reason why.
Expecting George Cooper to play at right wing-back with Joe Edwards in the midfield holding role which has been occupied by Baxter in recent matches.

Zak Rudden has returned to Glasgow Rangers to have an injury assessed, Plymouth Live understands.

The 19-year-old is absent from the Pilgrims' squad for the League Two game against Cheltenham Town at Home Park this afternoon.

Rudden was used as a late substitute in the 2-2 draw away to Crawley Town on Tuesday night.

The Scotland under-19 international striker signed for Argyle last month on a loan deal until January.

He had not taken part in any of the pre-season for Rangers due to a knee injury.
