Notts County Match Thread.

Angry is supposed to be doing this while T&G is away but he seems to have gone strangely quiet so I'm in like Flynn.


IAIN Williamson will be the referee when Argyle meet Notts County at Home Park.
His last time in charge of the Pilgrims was on February 14, 2015, when Argyle won 2-0 against Cambridge United. Ryan Brunt and Lewis Alessandra scored late goals to give Argyle the win; Williamson showed one yellow card in the game, to United's Ryan Donaldson.

We have lost once in ten games with Iain in charge at Home Park. Strangely, that one occasion saw the official send of Charlton goalkeeper Nicky Weaver in the opening monites of the game, yet a brace from Leroy Lita saw the Addicks emerge victorious.

This season Iain has refereed 25 games, issuing 102 cautions and sending off six players, including former Argyle loan player Drew Talbot.


A must win IMO, unfortunately another disjointed performance I fear.....1-1, McHugh, Att 7648, 309 away.

RAVE ON with the colour ACCCIIIEEEEDDDD

Notts supporter view on the game

It's roughly 253 miles from Nottingham to Plymouth. One of our longest away trips of the season. 
Plymouth are second in the table. They have 61 points (22 points more than Notts). They have scored 47 goals (1 more than Notts). They have conceded 27 goals (27 less than Notts). Plymouth's success is built on a strong defence as can be seen from the stats. Their attack isn't fantastic, but gets the job done and that's proved to be good enough so far. 
Plymouth have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their last 5. 
Plymouth use a 4-2-3-1 formation. Their back 5 is rock solid as already mentioned. The main threat in midfield is Graham Carey. He is quality at this level. Our old friend Jake Jervis could start on the wing. Ryan Brunt is starting ahead of Reuben Reid up front which may surprise a few people, but he is dangerous and needs watching. Reid will make an appearance at some point and Plymouth could go to 2 up front. 
This is going to be a tough game but IMO Notts won't be battered. I think we'll put it up to them. It has the makings of a tight game. I'll go for 1-0 to the home side, but I won't be too surprised if Notts get something out of the game.

Banton is returning with Notts.

much needed win tomorrow or we could be on that slippery slope down the table.

Look like a large turnout tomorrow, 9,000. 208 away fans

Notts view on Plymouth and the history of playing us

Notts County and Plymouth Argyle have met a total of 43 times over the years, with the Magpies winning 23 times; the Pilgrims have triumphed 11 times, and nine draws have taken place.

The first meeting took place on 13 Jan 1923, a FA Cup clash in Plymouth which ended as a goalless draw.

We met earlier in the League Two season, on 11 October 2015 at Meadow Lane; Reuben Reid struck on 18 and 86 minutes to give the Pilgrims the win.

Plymouth club takes its nickname from an English religious group that left Plymouth for the New World in 1620. The club crest features the Mayflower, the ship that carried the pilgrims to Massachusetts.

The city of Plymouth is the largest in England never to have hosted top-flight football. They are also the most southerly and westerly League club in England.

The club was founded in 1886 as Argyle Football Club, the first match taking place on 16 October 1886 against Caxton, a team from Cornwall and saw the Pilgrims lose 2–0.

Poor performances on the pitch led to the club going out of existence in 1894 before being resurrected in 1897 as one part of a general sports club, the Argyle Athletic Club.

Much speculation surrounds the origin of the name Argyle. One explanation is that they were named after the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, an army regiment with a strong football side of its own.

Another theory is given the respective geographical placements–suggests the name comes either from the nearby public house, The Argyle Tavern, where the founder members may have met, or the local street named Argyle Terrace.

An alternative suggestion is that their initial kit was decorated in the famous Argyle diamond pattern.

The club adopted its current name when it became fully professional in 1903 joining the Southern League, under the management of Bob Jack.

Since becoming professional in 1903, the club has won five Football League titles (one Division Two and two Division Three), five Southern League titles and one Western League title.

The team set the record for most championships won in the third tier, having finished first in the Third Division South twice, the Third Division once and the Second Division once.

In March 1973, Plymouth played a friendly against Brazilian giants Santos - who had a certain Pele in their ranks. However, the Devon club shocked the crowd of over 37,000 people at Home Park by cruising to a 3-0 lead and going on to win the game 3-2.

Several Plymouth players are missing ahead of Notts’ visit to Home Park.

Midfielder Carl McHugh and top scorer Jake Jervis were among those who required treatment during the midweek encounter at Yeovil Town and face a race against time to be fit for Saturday.

Striker Tyler Harvey misses out once again with an ankle injury but he is set to return to action in early March.

Notts midfielder Stanley Aborah has been left out of the squad recently, but is hoping to be involved this time, while Scot Bennett has missed the last three games with injury and will be checked on before the squad travels.

This time tomorrow we'll be 3 points closer to the play-offs

cant believe it, Freathy is forecasting a win!

Ready for my first visit to the ground today, Exeter tickets, buying five main stand ones.
