Do all the away games and have for the last 9 or 10 years, but the last time we played at Plymouth was 1992, well before my time, still in nappies then.

I think Williams has been OK this season, but yesterday, he had an absolute stinker! I've not been too bothered about the Bell signing and the seeming drama of it all, but after yesterday, I think the competition for left-back can only be a good thing.

I've not been too bothered about the Bell signing and the seeming drama of it all, but after yesterday, I think the competition for left-back can only be a good thing. He put a bit of the blame for the goal at Williams feet after the match. Said he passed the ball to Charlie too hard. He's laying the groundwork to drop him for Bell! Agree on the competition. Williams has been the only option. Mogga obviously doesn't see Jack Doyle as a first team option, he didn't even mention him the other day when discussing the left-backs in the squad.

markhayhurst Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hugely looking forward to this one. Plymouth V Blackburn was the first ever Rovers match I saw. The date was 26th March 1988 and I was 8 (30 years ago. How times flies). We lost 3-0 that day. We were in League two and the attendance was 12,359. Our manager at the time was Don Mackay. In the team that day was a certain Ossie Ardilles. Who was tearing Plymouth apart until they kicked him out of the game and broke his leg. A certain Nicky Marker featuring in this. A bit of Rovers Trivia. Ardiles is one of only three ex-Rovers players to have played in a World Cup final. Can you name the over two? In the squad that year Alan Ainscow Midfielder Steve Archibald Forward Ossie Ardiles Midfielder Simon Barker Midfielder Simon Garner Forward Howard Gayle Midfielder/Forward Terry Gennoe Goalkeeper - - Colin Hendry Defender/Centre back Keith Hill Defender/Centre back David Mail Defender John Millar Midfielder Chris Price Defender Nicky Reid Defender/Midfielder Scott Sellars Our record against Plymouth to date. Games won: 19 Games drawn: 11 Games lost: 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
