Argyle vs Pompey - Preview

I hope you greens have all had a great summer and looking forward to getting back into the football season, after the pilgrims secured their football league status last season.  This season Argyle will begin the campaign with a Capital One Cup game against Dockyard rivals Portsmouth.  The reason for starting a new a season with a cup game was so the games wouldn’t clash with the Olympics that were held in London.  This fixture will be a fans re-united game in which fans from different clubs from across the country come down in support of Pompey, who are in administration for the second time in as many years.  Pompey who will make the trip down to Plymouth without any professional players would have to fulfil a starting 11 of youth, a non-league goalkeeper and their first team coach, who will come out of retirement to participate in the evening fixture being played at Home Park.
The pilgrims come into the game with five new recruits added to the squad.  They include goalkeeper Rene Gilmartin, strikers Rhys Griffiths and Johnny Gorman and midfield pairing Paris Cowan-Hall and Andres Gurreri.  All of these players will be looking to impress the gaffer Carl Fletcher to be on the team sheet against Portsmouth.
With former skipper Simon Walton moving to Hartlepool for family reasons, Fletcher to no time to appoint vastly experienced centre back Darren Purse to lead the team on the second round of the Capital One Cup.
Fans re-united will never die!!! GREEN ARMY.
