Plymouth
Argyle will return to Cheltenham Town on Tuesday evening in the first round of
the Johnstone Paint Trophy weeks after running out 3-1 winners in the league.
Both teams will
be using this fixture to return to winning ways after the teams were both on
the losing side on Saturday. Plymouth
Argyle were defeated 2-1 by Morecambe following Reuben Reid giving Argyle the
lead from the penalty spot in the first half.
Straight from the kick off Argyle had conceded an equalizing goal. Eight minutes from the full time whistle
Morecambe had scored the winner goal which granted them the three points. Whereas, for Cheltenham Town, they went down
4-1 to Bury at Gigg Lane. The home side
were behind in the opening 4 minutes from an Andy Procter own goal. Minutes later Bury had levelled from a Danny
Mayor goal. Andy Procter made up from
his earlier mistake by giving Bury the lead for the first time in that
fixture. A Nathan Cameron goal 5 minutes
later gave the home side a 3-1 lead going into the half time break. During the second half it all went quiet
until the 76th minute when Jessy
Reindorf gave bury a 4-1 lead and that’s how it finished at Gigg Lane on
Saturday afternoon.
A transfer
window this summer was all about Gareth Bale’s world record move to Real Madrid,
Plymouth Argyle and Cheltenham Town have today, Monday 2nd
September, signed players on Transfer Deadline Day. John Sheridan the Plymouth Argyle manager has
signed two players. The first player
Sheridan welcomed to Home Park was Hamza Bencherif, a 25 year old Algerian midfielder. Formally of Notts County, Hamza has been on
trail with the Pilgrims for the past week, and played 80minutes in a friendly
at Home Park against Bristol City. He has
signed a short term deal and is eligible for Tuesdays night’s fixture at The
Abbey Business Stadium. John Sheridan’s
second signing of the day came an hour after the first, Jamie Reckford a left
back at Wolverhampton has joined the Pilgrims on the three month loan
deal. His loan will run up to and
include the New Years Day fixture against Torquay. The signing of Reckford also came in time for
him to play in tomorrow’s first round fixture.
Cheltenham Town manager Mark Yates has brought in a midfielder. Rotherham United’s David Noble has joined the
Robins on loan until January. The former
Arsenal trainee is available for selection to Mark Yates for the Johnstone
Paint Trophy first round fixture at home to Plymouth Argyle. Cheltenham Town have also had a departing
player on the final day of the transfer window.
