Match Preview/Stats/Thread: Newcastle Utd v Plymouth Argyle
By Tyne-Talk
September 19 2009
Newcastle United host Plymouth Argyle in this afternoon's game for the first time in 18 years, on the back of a 2-1 defeat in midweek following a successful start to the season. Plymouth haven't won a game in their last 6 making them bottom, whilst Newcastle boast just the 1 defeat all season leaving them 3rd in the Championship table.
For Newcastle both Andy Carroll (who scored in midweek) and Peter Lovenkrands who has shown his fitness will be hoping for a starting place this afternoon, whilst new loan signing Zurab Khizanishvili has been given an automatic place in the squad and is seeking his debut after signing a 3 month deal from Blackburn Rovers.
Alan Smith returns to the team having served his 1 match suspension in midweek, but Shola Ameobi (foot) and Jonas Gutierrez (hamstring) both remain sidelined through injury.
Bradley Wright-Phillips is likely to start for Plymouth Argyle this afternoon, after recovering from a knee injury and 20 year old Aussie defender Shane Lowry is seeking his debut after signing a 3 month loan deal from Aston Villa.
Fact: Plymouth won their last game against Newcastle 2-0 in 1991.
Fact: Newcastle United are the only Championship team not to have conceded a goal on home turf so far this season and have the strongest defence in the league having conceded just 3 goals in 7 games.

Never would have believed that possible last season!

It's a win-win, regardless. As long as we finish the job, one of those sides will fall away just a bit. It's going to take several wins in a row to create any real separation, though.

Blackpool up on Forest. Maybe we just caught them at the beginning of a run of good form?

Haven't heard but the last couple minutes, but I find it hard to believe that Geremi shouldn't have been one of the ones subbed off...
Great move, apparently getting Gutherie and Ranger on!

Barton has been c.rap all season...also c.rap since we bought him...Geremi may not have the legs but he can still cross a ball.

Poor Plymouth now have to make the 400 odd mile trip home.
I believe Newcastle-Plymouth is the fixture with the teams living the furthest apart in the CCC.

Good to see Carroll get on the score sheet, hopefully his will put him on a run of banging in some goals. Great win and now second in the league
