[Mr Gillingham]

Gone for a win. Mainly because if Argyle lose then for the first time this season it would be out of their hands

 

[memory man]

Goalkeepers Les Major and Dave Maclaren played for both. In the summer of 1959 we signed a winger cum-centre forward from Newcastle called Bill Wright, who had previously been at Leicester. Wright was a scratch golfer and won the PFA Golf tournament while at Argyle. I remember there being great excitement when the Herald headline was "Billy Wright to join Argyle". Initially, many thought it meant the Billy Wright who had just had his 100th cap for England! Attached is some evidence I found in our Bill Wright's scrapbook, confirming that the two men knew each other.

Will Nance & Neil be wily old foxes & outfox the foxes
If they score 1st it could be a long evening with their embarrassment of riches
Millwall did a professional job on them
Hoping we can do the same 🤞

 

[Deacster]

Reading their forum, they are not happy with Maresca. One comment stood out 'If they press us like Millwall did, they win'.
Clearly a possession based team but seem to struggle against an aggressive press.
Sure we have done our homework on that!

 

[bodspafc]

Reading their forum and the first page of their thread on the game tomorrow you'd never believe they were top of the league!

 

[mutley marvel]

Do their fans know how to cope with a dip in form or heavens forbid they actually lose a football match
Welcome to the Championship - Leicester where you do not get your own way all the time just because you was relegated from the Premier League - bizarre
