Argyle V Southend Predictions Thread.
- Thread starter Verte
- Start date
Plymouth Argyle 0-1 Southend United
I would go for:
23 McCormick
2 Mellor
5 Nelson
29 Hartley
3 Purrington
4 Cox
6 Norburn
22 Smalley
14 Harvey
19 Thomas
9 Reid
Subs: 1 Bittner, 7 Alessandra, 8 Banton, 10 Morgan, 16 McHugh, 24 Allen, 28 O'Connor.
Leaving out Alessandra is a bit of a bold one and I nearly went for 4-4-2 with Smalley and Thomas on the wings and Alessandra and Reid up top - but reportedly our best performances of the season came with Harvey in the hole behind Reid, and I feel that Smalley and Thomas would give better balance to the team than Alessandra or Banton. Also, Alessandra hasn't been in his best of form.

Which I think he will. It will still be a tough one and wouldn't be surprised to lose.

McHugh is a good CB, use him there.
Can't bare the thought of having a flat back 4 again, we just can't deal with crosses in to the box.
Playing Reid upfront by himself AGAIN would be stupid, he needs somebody with him.
Drop Banton.

Since we've been in League 2 we've drawn every home game with Southend, and I can see this game being the same and ending 1-1.
If we play 3-5-2 i'd prefer O'Connor at RB - much better on the ball than Mellor and leave Cox and Norburn in the middle.
Again it comes down to which Argyle show up for me, if we see the same Argyle we saw at Exeter, first half Cambridge and the second half at Orient then we should do well. If it's the Argyle we saw at Stevenage, second half Cambridge and apparently Bury then we'll do well to draw. Here's hoping we get a performance this week :thumbs:
We've go to start getting something out of these games and stop making excuses--even a point will do. I hope that the team hit the ground running and are truly up for this. 1-1 if they are.
Hopefully the game that picks everyone up, akin to the last minute win at Mansfield last season. Saying that, I'd like to see more goals, so I'm going for an optimistic 3-1 Argyle.
