All applies to Blackburn who twatted a rampant Millwall.

Bit of a bogey team apparently. And play off teams stumble too. I’d just rather play someone with nothing to play for than everything to play for. Don’t think that’s controversial

Id rather play 2 of the worst teams in the division over 43 games tbh

Unfortunately we only get to play them over one. Wilder was saying the exact things you are just before Sheff Utd lost to Plymouth “they’re down there for a reason”. That’s not how football works and Coventry City fans of all people should know that.

People forget that Leeds' last home game is Bristol. Surely they will want to put in a good performance and win in front of their home crowd on the last game and celebrate promotion with a win.

Of course, but Sheff W and Norwich were until quite recently play off contenders for a reason as well, they're both better sides than Plymouth.

Yes, Plymouth still have something to play for as a team but they're still bottom of the league.

Teams with nothing to play for can play with freedom. Plymouth and Luton both have the sword of Democles hanging over them next week, that's just as likely to induce mistakes as it is a barnstorming performance.

This "they are bottom for a reason" can go out of the window at this very late stage of the season.

Teams at the bottom can pull off miraculous results. We've done it ourselves. Many a time.

I think it will be a very tough game tomorrow. I believe we will win, but I think we are going to have to be at the top of our game.

I bet Plymouth play out of their skins tomorrow. A early-ish goal for us though and their heads could drop a little.

I think we will need to score twice to win through.

We were down the bottom not so long ago. This league is mostly form and confidence not quality setting the sides apart IMO.

I don't think it can, they are there because they are the worst teams in the league.

I'd rather play them than better teams.

Let’s just worry about our team turning up & producing another quality performance.
We will be prepared properly & our final destination, is far greater than Plymouth’s , just scraping by for another season in the championship.
Hopefully, Thomas might be back , but if not , Lats will fill in again & with us lot giving them a good backing , the Janners will have the pressure on them .

Not so sure. Yeah they have to win really which changes the normal dynamics of a match but still bottom of the league for a reason. For me. If they come at us and have to win they will miss chances and leaves gaps for us. Our quality should shine through.

Same starting eleven, same formation I think.

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.
The midfield 2/3 need to start. Sheaf looks like he has the bit between his teeth the last two games, he and Grimes have been working well together.

Rudoni making hay in his free role.

This game will be a scrap tho, they have pace and will look to get in behind, don't fancy us to keep a clean sheet with our high line.

Consistency isn't it. Any side can beat any side in this league. What separates the top from the bottom is the quality of player and also the consistency of players putting good games in, game after game

Many a player can look like a world beater for one game

Their hoping to have one of their meat head CB’s available for this one.

It’s what separates a PL player from a Champ player IMO: can they do it every week? It’s a league of talented but inconsistent players.

So you are saying that given the choice of opponent you wouldn't want to face 2 of the worst sides in the division? No game is easy even against your 'on the beach' teams you seem so desperate to play against.

Plymouth play decent at home. Hardie and Bundu are their players to look out for.

They will be playing 5 at the back and sitting back. We will have to be very careful playing a high line as they dink it over the top for Bundu to run on to. He is rapid. MVE had better be ready for him.

This could so easily be another Derby if we're not careful.

Tough match. Most fans on their forum still refuse to surrender and think they can get something from tomorrow. They will use the unjust sending off of their captain in the last match as motivation. Apparently another dodgy ref, Andrew Davies, will be officiating (not surprised). Hope we win somehow.

They’ve had some good results at home and our away record isn’t exactly worth writing home about, I can see why they’d be confident of getting something.
