Bobby Pointon injury

Stockport came to us on a tuesday night 7 games unbeaten... there's no need to fear Plymouth.
As GA says, treat every game the same.

 

Yep, and they’ve just had a 400 mile trip to London and a hard match at Wimbledon followed by another 300 mile trip up north. I’m sure they’ll be up for it but their long travels might take its toll. I predict a comfortable city win on the night.
However, if we faced them in the playoffs I’d be more worried

 

Looks like they either travelled up here after the game on Saturday or came yesterday.

 

Can't exercise at all with stretched ligaments you've to wait till they shrink back down to hold the bones in place,so its just rest

 

Their away form is mental lately too even with all the long travels. In their last 7 awaydays, they have 5 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat, and they are scoring a crazy amount away too. In their 5 wins and 1 draw they scored 18 goals in those 6 games! Away!

One i suppose brighter mark is that they haven't really played a top side in that run. They beat Blackpool, Orient, Wigan, Barnsley and Wimbledon away recently, drew 2-2 with Reading away and lost 1-0 to Rotherham.

It looks like the only contender they've beaten away from home this season was Luton in a 2-3 away win, but that was all the way back in September. Plymouth have lost away to Lincoln, Cardiff, Bolton, Huddersfield & Stockport and managed to pick up draws away to Stevenage and Reading. So maybe we can manage what the rest of the promotion challengers did against them.

 

I agree, he will need to stand or walk for short periods ie in and around the house. I did mine when I was about eight. To this day it gives way all of a sudden.

 

Plymouth are not Barcelona in disguise. If we are on top of our game and hopefully we will be then 3 points incoming. They have done well considering their start but come on we are not playing ManC or Arsenal. Provided GA gets his tactics and team members lined up for maximum points then we should be ok.

 

Absolutely
We should be fearing no team especially at home
Hopefully GA sends them out with a "Go for it" from minute 1 mentality

 

You would hope our medical people would have given Bobby the O/K to be in the away end with his mates, I would think Alexander would also have been informed and was O/K with it.

 

Hopefully being very cautious with a relatively minor injury or he's knacked and there's no rush. Praying for the former, we need him

 

I'll bet Bobby wouldn’t have been sat down in the 73 minute or in the 82nd .

 

Exactly, and thats my point

 

Surely the Football Club did give permission, they supplied “ Player Ticket(s) “ for him to attend the game.

 

I'm pretty sure he sends them out with that message every game.

 

Just walked past Pointon near the ground. No boot on, no limp, looked to be walking completely fine.

Hopefully he's back in the field by the POs!

 

I spoke to him and Tyreik. Asked both if they were near return. Bobby said "they're hoping for play offs". Tyreik said "will be a while yet".

 

Ok so a fresh Bobby for the play offs is a plus (we probably qualify)

Tyriek saying that is a concern. Sounds like he could be done.

 

Wasn't Wright back training with the group at the end of last week? Sounds like he's had a set back then, which is not what we need.

 

Lose on Saturday and there won’t be any playoffs because we ain’t getting owt at Exeter

 

We are at least getting a point from the last 2. Bolton are on pretty much the exact same form as us over the last 10, and dont exactly impressed away from home. Could even be a situation where we both end up passing it around the back for 5 mins if we are drawing to make sure we both stamp it.

Obviously as well it would mean three of the four teams below us pretty much win out for us to drop out. And remember Exeter could be down this weekend.
