Carl Fletchers Plymouth Argyle will entertain high flying
Gillingham at Home Park this afternoon. After
Wednesdays disappointing result which saw the Pilgrims dominate the game, this
fixture will be crucial for the three vital points at Home Park.
Gillingham who are five points clear at the top of
League two will be full of confidence coming to Home Park with the best away
record in the diversion. Since Martin Allen’s
appointment in the summer of 2012 he has brought in some fantastic players including
his son Charlie Allen. With this, the
results have gone there way and are proudly sitting on the throne with
credit.
With Remembrance Sunday only around the corner, players,
staff and fans from both teams will be asked to respect the fallen with a minute’s
silence. During the warm-up and up to
kick off members from the Devonport Royal Navel Volunteers Band will be
playing. The band will also welcome both
teams onto the field of play with their version of Semper Fidelis. With this
tribute taking place members of the green army situated in Block 3 will be
taking part, in holding up a display, which will picture a giant poppy to
remember the loved ones that have fallen representing their Country.
Darren Purse will be in contention for this fixture after
the captain has missed the last three games due to an on-going toe injury. Whilst
his centre back partner Maxime Blanchard will have to undergo a late fitness
test after the defender was involved in a heavy tackle on Wednesday evening
against Burton Albion. Argyle will also
welcome back Irish born midfielder Conor Hourihane after he was sent off at
Dorchester for picking up two yellow cards. Carl Fletcher may also look, to
change the formation of the team. The manager
may decide to bring back on-loan defender Scott Griffiths after he missed Wednesday’s
fixture. The reason for that change was
to give Griffiths a rest. Since arriving
from Peterborough the defender had started all six games. If this was to happen that would enable
Onismor Bhasera to play freely in midfield.
Enjoy the game!! GREEN ARMY
