Five games
left of the 2013-14 season where has it gone? Can John Sheridan guide his
Argyle squad to the play-offs and even Wembley?
Following
years of relegation fight and even administration most fans will agree this
season has been very good indeed. Three points
of the last play-off place who would have thought that at the start of the
season. Saturday’s fixture against
Oxford can decide who will get the deciding play off place. The Pilgrims will have to aim for 15 more
points if they were to get a play-off position.
Plymouth
Argyle and Oxford United will remember and pay tribute to those who were lost
in the Hillsborough disaster. All
Premier League clubs, Football League Clubs, Scottish Clubs and Conference
Clubs will all kick-off at 3:07pm in memory of the 25th year anniversary
of the tragedy.
Resigning from
his post as manager at Oxford United on 25TH January 2014, Chris
Wilder took over as Northampton Town manager days later. Just short of two months later Gary Waddock, formerly
of Wycombe Wanders, took over as manager of the U’s. Since he’s appointment on 22nd
March United have failed to score or win three SkyBet League Two fixtures.
The last
time the teams met in the league was on Boxing Day last year at the Kassam
Stadium. 17 year old Left Back Ben
Purrington will remember this game especially as manager John Sheridan handed
him his Plymouth Argyle debut. Reuben
Reid and Coalan Lavery scored the goals for the Pilgrims which earned them a
deserved 3-2 victory in Oxford.
Pedal for
Pounds will also be coming to an end when the cyclists formed of Argyle fans
right through to the staff at Home Park will be arriving back to Plymouth in
time for the game. The riders set of on
a 220 trip from the Kassam Stadium on Wednesday to raise money for the Argyle
Youth team and cancer charities. Well done
to everyone involved.
Lewis
Alessandra will return to the match day squad against Oxford United when they
meet at Home Park on Saturday. The
winger has missed the last four matches through a hamstring injury which he
picked up in the 2-1 home victory against Chesterfield. On making his first full Argyle debut since
signing a short contract on Christmas Eve Nathan Thomas will hope he will be in
the starting 11. Matt Parsons could miss
Saturday’s fixture, the attacking left back is recovering from a thigh
injury. Signed on loan from Notts County
prior to the Burton Albion game Enoch Showunmi will be aiming to make his Home
Park debut. Oxford’s Andy Wing could
play a part in the fixture after recovering from injury. Players Alfie Potter
and Johnny Mullins are ruled out of the fixture at Home Park through
injury.
