TOPIC: Plymouth on Tues

Atkinson not going to travel due to Hamstring spasm, CMW will still be on Trial elsewhere...

I can't understand this Leacock crack! He has a far worst injury track record than TAH by a long shot.

Sure Jabbo could have done with a few days rest, he covered so much ground on Saturday.

Plymouth will be under pressure to get a result having lost at home to Portsmouth on Saturday.

1-1 Kenedy

1-0 Hery

3-0 to Argyle

Rediculous fixture for a Tuesday night. 1-2.

can see another draw 2--2

Not expecting much from this one to be honest, very tough game not helped by the horrific scheduling.

Plymouth 2 - 0 Carlisle

3 1to them. Curle sticks with the defence that let in 4 on Saturday rather than the defence that only conceded 1 against Chesterfield

He couldn't play the defence that only conceded one v Chesterfield as Atkinson was, and still is injured.

At least that Lewis Alessandra has left Plymouth for Rochdale - which doesn't really add up - he was the best player on the pitch when we last played at Home Park. This lad is rapid and a real handful, glad we haven't got him to deal with tomorrow - although we have got a few Scottish "unknowns" in the Plymouth side along with their manager.

Why doesn't it add up Rochdale are in League One? I think somebody had previously said he wanted to move back up north to be closer to home, think he's a Manchester lad or thereabouts so a good move for him, Rochdale have made a flying start too!

Just a note regarding family tickets for this one, we bought one (saves £2 compared to 1 x Adult and 1 x Junior), it turns out that these tickets are for the Plymouth Family enclosure which is "shared". We didn't fancy that so have managed to get changed to separate tickets, in the away end

Although we're banging in the goals I cannot get the horrific defending out of my head and leaning towards home advantage getting Plymouth a 2-1 win. I'll be happy with a draw.

Another ground where we never get f_ck all from. 3-0 loss then struggling again at weekend after best part of 3 day round trip in midweek.

If young Alessandra was leaving Plymouth I'd have thought he@d have got himself to a club that could realistically have the ambition and resources to get into the Championship. Good luck to Rochdale but they are punching above their weight at the moment with traditionally small gates and struggling to compete with most of the teams in their division. Unless their ground and facilities have improved recently their are better grounds in the Conference (or National) League.

Will you? WILL YOU???

Fair play Torbay can see where your coming from re Alessandra, but on the other hand regular starts at Rochdale which I assume hemll get there will put him in the Champ shop window if he impresses

Looks about 23 on bus to Plymouth.

That's before the Penrith pick up.

Nice touch from SkyBet

@officialcufc: Your team today - Gillespie, Miller, Raynes, Grainger, Balanta, Kennedy, Joyce, Dicker, Osei, Ibehre, Wyke #cufc

@officialcufc: That’s three changes from Saturday: Osei for Brough, Dicker for Hery and Balanta for Thompson #cufc

@officialcufc: Your subs today - Hanford, Hery, Archibald-Henville, Rigg, Thompson, Asamoah, McQueen #cufc

Brough out the squad completely.

Dicker, Joyce and Kennedy in midfield, CCU

Happy with that, Hery for Joyce if we go behind second half I think. Hopefully the goal on Saturday has got Wyke's confidence back up, otherwise I'd have played Rigg for his work rate. Fancy us to play well, but would absolutely take 0-0 right now.

Balanta and Osei wing backs, just hope they offer decent protection to the back 3.

Would think Joyce and Dicker will provide that.

Not sure on Balanta and Osei playing the wide roles?

I wish I could see getting something out of the game but I cant. 0-2.
More to do with when and where than the team.

Well we're certainly going for it! No one can say we're a negative team this season.

Not sure about the lack of defensive cover in wide areas, but the 2 sitting midfielders should give a bit of protection.

It's going to be interesting.

Would take another draw from this. Respect to everyone who's made the trip. I'll be in Devon later this month, can't believe I'll have missed this fixture by a fortnight

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt after some decent results but it does seem a tad strange to leave an actual wing-back on the bench.

Because as shown on Saturday, we aren't playing with wing backs at the moment. Our wide players play as wide strikers.

Might as well remove dicker from the transfer list (if he hasn't done already), he's clearly part of the plans now. He's the only one of the listed players getting pitch time.

Gee whizz I thought this might be one where he played 5 at the back. Never imagined for a minute we would go 3-4-4 or even 3-3-2-2 Can't see Balanta or Osei giving much protection on the flanks.

To be honest I'm struggling to work.out how we will set up with so many attacking players and only 3 defenders starting.

Or just in the shop window, knowing he can and will do a job? Maybe Curle doesn't think the others have the ability to be getting match time. Maybe ability isn't the reason for Dicker being on the transfer list.

For what it's worth, I'd love Dicker to stay.

Brough getting rested I`d say - McQueen could come on RWB or even have started - plenty of speed and a bit of skill to boot

Sounds good on paper all the flair players on to start....................pleased Dicker is back in thought he was a miss on Saturday after his Chesterfield performance
