Rotherham United vs Plymouth Argyle - Match Preview


Plymouth Argyle will make the long trip up to Yorkshire today, Saturday 27th October, when manager Carl Fletcher and his team will come across one former green when they take on Rotherham United. Kari Arnason who spent two enjoyable years in Plymouth departed Home Park when the club was in financial crisis and also in administration.  The administrator sacked him effectively after he refused to sign a deed of deferral over unpaid wages in June 2011. The Icelandic International, one of Carl Fletcher’s favourite teammates moved to Rotherham after sending last season in Scotland with Aberdeen teaming up with many former Pilgrims at Pittodrie  

A run of three straight wins on the bounce in league and cup games ended on Tuesday evening after a 2-1 defeat in Gloucester against a strong Cheltenham Town side.  A superb turnout of 650 supporters of the green army was to witness an outstanding display from Argyle which they deserved to get something out of the game.  From the game Conor Hourihane was to pick up his fifth yellow card of the season.  This means that he is suspended for this Npower league 2 encounter with Rotherham United at The New York Stadium.  This may mean that Cornishman Jamie Lowry will make his long awaited league debut for Plymouth Argyle.  Jamie was released by Chesterfield at the end of last season.  The Newquay born player has not played for Argyle since injuring his ankle when the Pilgrims played Truro City in a pre-season game at Treyew Road in July. Versatile player Onismor Bhasera will also be looking to make it back into the squad to face Rotherham.  The Zimbabwe player has missed the last couple of weeks due to injury and international commitments.  Another key player Andres Gurrieri will be looking to have secured his place in the starting 11 after putting in magnificent displays against Rochdale and Cheltenham.         

Plymouth Argyle: Jake Cole, Rene Gilmartin, Ollie Chenoweth, Durrell Berry, Darren Purse, Maxime Blanchard, Curtis Nelson, Jamie Richards, Scott Griffiths, Jamie Lowry, Joe Lennox, Luke Young, Onismor Bhasera, Andres Gurrieri, Warren Feeney, Guy Madjo, Alex MacDonald, Nick Chadwick, Jared Sims, Jordan Copp, Tyler Harvey, Matt Lecointe.

Doubtful: Rhys Griffiths (Groin Injury), Paris Cowan-Hall (dead leg),

Unavailable:  Conor Hourihane (suspended), Paul Wotton (back injury), Ross Jenkins (groin injury), Robbie Williams (stomach muscle injury), Jed Harper-Penman and Isaac Vassell (both on loan to Bideford Town)
