Same again. Hopefully everyone unscathed from yesterday.
Be another tough game and they'll quite rightly be smarting from the nature of their defeat yesterday so will probably be pumped up but they're bottom of the league for a reason.

Rooney is one of the reasons tbf. Probably the main reason.

It’s away and a long trip for the lads, but no disrespect to Plymouth - we have to consider this the “easier” game of the last three. Unfortunately in the Champ, that means basically nothing 😂

Start same team as Friday.

They were terrible when we last played them, but I imagine they have improved slightly?

Plymouth didn't look half bad from what highlights I saw on the Middlesbrough game, so don't think it'll be an easy one.
They can't sit back though as they need the three points which should work in our favour.

Nervy 1-0 win

A nervy win as we don't like to make it easy for ourselves which will see us effectively relegate Plymouth due to their abysmal goal difference.

Very unpredictable results over the last couple of months for Plymouth. Some good wins but some poor defeats. If we are at our best we ought to get the points but we have to be more ruthless in front of goal than at Hull. Same starting 11 please if possible 👍

Same again. Going to be a tough one this. They’ll see it as their best remaining chance of three points.

I could be wrong but it looks like the 2 CBs they brought in in January, who really helped improve them, are both injured.

Take a draw but think we can win it

Same team

As I said before the wba game it's about performances not results for me right now. I want to go into playoffs looking like a team that can win them not just make up the numbers

We need something out the game for sure

I worry more about Luton. Yesterday they were banging high balls in and looking at using their strength. Collins will have a challenge

I get what you're saying but it is still about results. If we play amazing in the next three games but lose and miss out, the good performances count for nothing.

Results breed confidence too. If you can win games without really playing well it can just give you the belief that it's meant to be without getting overly cocky and complacent because you're smashing teams left, right and centre.

Unless anyone is showing serious signs of fatigue then keep the same team.

It'll be a tough game and they'll scrap for everything but they are going to have to try and break us down at some point which should give us chances. Just hope we aren't so wasteful or give away something silly at the back.

Been buzzing for this trip since the fixtures come out, going down tomorrow morning for a few Easter Sunday beers and an overnighter

Shame it looks like it is going to be a washout

No argument with that tbh

They won’t do that on the day. They’ve been known to stay overnight at St. Mellion Golf resort. Spa/Gym/Sauna/Steam room/Pools. Softens the journey.

Id take a point then three at Luton to send them down before we play out a pointless draw against Midlesborough

It will be a tough game. Plymouth have looked good of late and created some good chances against Middlesbrough. Although Middlesbrough had good chances too.

We will need to be more clinical than we were against Hull.

Luton will be tough as it is going to be an aerial bombardment and a very physical game.

We are still a much, much better team than Plymouth and Luton and should win both games.

Last 3 games we have faced four shots on target.
This has helped to take the "Collins factor" out of the equation.
We need to do the same defensively if we want to get anything out of this game.

That has come from intensity to press and win the ball as high up the pitch as possible.

Hope we still have the energy to do this.

....good work in midfield and central defence?
