John
Sheridan and his team will travel to Lancaster full of confidence after two
back to back wins, a 3-1 away win at Cheltenham Town and a 1-0 victory at home
to Rochdale Athletic. Following the two wins,
Argyle have made their best start to a season since 2006 when current Crystal
Palace manager Ian Holloway was in charge of the Pilgrims. The SkyBet League Two table make better reading
after recent years as the Pilgrims are placed in 9th position. As of Saturday’s opponents, Morecambe, they
are situated in 19th position.

side will be aiming to get back to winning ways against the Devon club after
the defeat of Newcastle at the Globe Arena Stadium on Wednesday. The televised fixture on SkySports 4 was part
of this seasons Capital One Cup second round encounter. The Shrimps lost 2-0 after the Ameobi
brothers scored one each in the second half.

goal came from Ross Jenkins who volleyed the ball into the top hand
corner. The next two goals came from the
penalty spot on the 80th and 87th minute, Warren Feeney
scored both and Argyle had won the fixture 3-2.
