Fully agree. 10 game mark, but not just this game. Because of the Burton postponement, Fleetwood became a 6 pointer. Tomorrow's equally important and then we start playing against teams around us. Big games. Plenty to get our teeth into.
Yep, gonna get interesting now. Which is why we need 3 composed, comfortable and committed points tomorrow.
That's the guy. He then scored a hat trick when we played the return fixture and lost 3-2. A couple of years later, we reached the 3rd Round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1970. We were drawn at home to Torquay and Les Lawrence scored with a superb strike in the second minute in front of the Ponty End to put United 1-0 up. Thankfully, two Derrick Parker goals sealed the win for us.
I once went to watch the reds train in 2007, couple of days before playing Plymouth (who were near bottom). Caught Dominik Werling coming down the path from the pitch, i said to him it looks an easy match coming this saturday, Dominik! He signed the autograph, looked at me knowingly and said, "No gemm iz izzee." Then went on to score that famous rocket freekick that won the match. Ledge.
Remember this 2-4 win for the reds (in yellow on the night!), and this was a belter of a win for us down there in coiider laand ?. Martin 'disco' Devaney scored two crackers didnt he, and it was in one of our many Champship relegation battles in those days!.
One thing is for sure, any Plymough fans that make it up tonight deserve a medal as big as a dustbin lid. About as far from a glamour fixture as its possible to get. And its freezing. Reckon we are on for the lowest attendance of the season tonight, by some distance. There's no one here.
Its pathetic isnt is 'Sheldon' lol, that these sort of fixtures still exist on midweek work/school nights, and nobody at the FL seems to care or to want to try and do something about it. Remember when we had to go all the way down there on boxing day of all days, in Dec '90!!.
