In for a Plymouth pasting?

I hate to be pessimistic prior to a new season, but are we're going to get pasted at newly promoted Plymouth Argyle, as our boss Dennis Wise freely admits we've not brought in the new recruits we were looking for.

Let's make no bones about this, Plymouth are going to be a tough nut to crack.

They'll be full of confidence after beating Southampton 3-1 friendly, and ex-Lion Stevie Crawford will be hoping to score against us naturally.

It's difficult to second guess our line up for Plymouth, but if Paul Robinson's fit it may be: Marshall, Lawrence, Robinson, Ward, Livermore, Ifill, Morris, Elliott, Sweeney, Dichio, Moore.

That looks a good enough team to get a result, but will they?
