Argyle along with more than
800 members of the Green Army will travel to AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday making
their fourth ever trip to the Kings Meadow Stadium.
Argyle made their first ever
trip to the stadium in the 2011-12 season on 6th March 2012 in their 2-1 win. Former Pilgrim Onismor Bhasera scored the
fastest ever away goal in the clubs history to give the Greens the lead.
Jack Midson levelled for the
Dons as the teams went into the half time break all square. Nick Chadwick scored the winning goal for the
Green Army as he slotted the ball home just after the half time break.
The last time the Pilgrims
made the trip to London was in December of last year. Michael Smith gave the Wombles the lead just
after the break. Reuben Reid equalised
for John’s men with two minutes of the game remaining.
Following Argyle’s fourth
straight win in League and Cup competitions, John Sheridan will be eager for a
fifth, for the first time in eight seasons.
That time, under manager Ian
Holloway Argyle achieved victories over Leicester, Luton, Southend, Preston and
Hull in the latter stages of the season.
Lewis Alessandra scored the
winning goal in the 15th minute as the Pilgrims secured their seven clean sheet
of the season at Home Park as Carlisle made the longest journey in League 2 to Plymouth.
With that record under their
belts Argyle top the best defensive record in Sky Bet League 2. As well as this record the players have kept
the most clean sheets out of the Premiership, Championship, League 1 and League
2 with Notts County in second keeping six clean sheets.
Wimbledon will be looking to
getting back to winning ways after their 2-0 away defeat to League Leaders
Wycombe Wanders on Saturday. Josh Scowen
opened the scoring before Sam Wood doubled the home teams lead.
John Sheridan has no injury
worries for the trip to AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday evening. Matt LeCointe and Ben Purrington remain long
term absentees with knee and wrist injuries.
On loan Gillingham Defender
Adam Barrett will play against his former side who gave him his debut in
professional football at the age of 19. Whilst Adam was at Home Park he made 52 appearences scoring 3 goals between 1999 and 2000.
Midfielder Dannie Bulman is
expected to start tomorrow night for the Dons, the veteran has returned from
suspension.
Tom Beere is also likely to
participate in the fixture following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
