PHIL GREIG SELECTS HIS<br />

FAVOURITE SNAPS FROM<br />

THE PAST FEW WEEKS...<br />

has been full of ups and downs, though their second tier status remains<br />

in their own hands as the season enters its final three matches.<br />

The Devon side recorded a<br />

crucial 1-0 victory over promotion<br />

hopefuls Leicester <strong>City</strong> last time<br />

out, a result that saw the Pilgrims<br />

rise to 18th in the table and four<br />

points clear of the bottom three.<br />

Neil Dewsnip’s side are unbeaten<br />

since <strong>Argyle</strong>’s Director of<br />

Football stepped into the dugout<br />

following Ian Foster’s dismissal,<br />

with single goal victories coming<br />

against Rotherham United and<br />

the Foxes, as well as a point<br />

against QPR on home turf.<br />

After claiming the League<br />

One title in May, <strong>Plymouth</strong><br />

started the new campaign with<br />

Potters Head Coach Steven<br />

Schumacher in charge at Home<br />

Park prior to the 39-year-old’s<br />

switch to the bet365 Stadium in<br />

late December.<br />

Following an initial spell<br />

in temporary charge for Dewsnip,<br />

Foster replaced Schumacher<br />

at the helm and the former<br />

England U20s boss claimed<br />

seven points from his first three<br />

games in charge.<br />

However, following a run of one<br />

win in 12, including five home<br />

games without a goal, Foster<br />

departed the Devon coast with<br />

Dewsnip stepping back into the<br />

role on an interim basis until the<br />

end of the season.<br />

This season’s previous meeting<br />

between this afternoon’s sides<br />

resulted in three points for the<br />

Pilgrims. Adam Randell’s lastminute<br />

strike secured the victory<br />

for <strong>Argyle</strong> after Tyrese Campbell’s<br />

opener was cancelled out by<br />

Mustapha Bundu.<br />

t’s been another positive week at<br />

Clayton Wood for the team following on from<br />

last weekend’s victory over second-place<br />

Burnley at Emerys Stadium, a result that keeps<br />

us on target for a top four finish come the end of<br />

the campaign.<br />

We have seen some real consistency in the<br />

second half of the season and the results have<br />

been nothing more than we have deserved.<br />

But to achieve our target would be a huge plus<br />

for us as a club.<br />

Of course we still have fixtures to play, and<br />

next up is West Bromwich Albion here at the<br />

bet365 Stadium tomorrow, a result that could<br />

see the gap to Wolves cut to just four points.<br />

We’d love to see as many of you as possible<br />

back in ST4 tomorrow afternoon as myself, the<br />

staff and the team are always very appreciative<br />

of your backing. Entry is free for Season Card<br />

Holders, so please come down and support us<br />

if you can.<br />

A positive end to the season would give<br />

everyone a huge boost heading into next<br />

year when we will look to progress the squad<br />

further and continue the journey we have been<br />

on this season.<br />

Enjoy the game.<br />

Marie<br />

Neil Dewsnip has returned to the dugout for the second time with<br />

<strong>Plymouth</strong> <strong>Argyle</strong> this season to oversee the Pilgrims’ final games of<br />

the Championship campaign.<br />

<strong>Argyle</strong>’s Director of Football, a<br />

former PE teacher in Liverpool,<br />

started his coaching journey<br />

with Everton’s Academy, where<br />

he oversaw the development<br />

of a former pupil from Cardinal<br />

Heenan High School, now<br />

<strong>City</strong> Head Coach Steven<br />

Schumacher.<br />

Dewsnip worked at Goodison<br />

Park for 17 years prior to<br />

a move to the Football<br />

Association in 2013, where he<br />

supported the development<br />

of the next generation of<br />

international footballers as the<br />

technical lead for the Young<br />

Lions’ U17 and U21s teams.<br />

During Dewsnip’s time at the<br />

FA, he also took charge of the<br />

U18s, coaching the U17s at<br />

the 2015 World Cup as well as<br />

guiding the U20s to the 2017<br />

Toulon Tournament.<br />

Official Women’s Team Partner<br />

In August 2019, the now<br />

62-year-old reunited with<br />

Schumacher and then<br />

<strong>Argyle</strong> Head Coach Ryan<br />

Lowe, working as a technical<br />

consultant at Home Park<br />

before moving to the role of<br />

Director of Football just over a<br />

year later.<br />

Following Schumacher’s move<br />

to the bet365 Stadium in<br />

December, the former Young<br />

Lions boss took charge of four<br />

matches - three draws and one<br />

defeat to promotion-chasing<br />

Southampton – prior to the<br />

appointment of Ian Foster as<br />

Head Coach.<br />

After Foster’s departure<br />

earlier this month, Dewsnip<br />

returned to the dugout until<br />

the end of the season, tasked<br />

with retaining <strong>Plymouth</strong>’s<br />

Championship status.<br />

FROM THE HEAD COACH<br />

steven schumacher<br />

Good afternoon and welcome back to the bet365 Stadium for this<br />

afternoon’s match against <strong>Plymouth</strong> <strong>Argyle</strong>.<br />

We attack our penultimate home fixture<br />

of the campaign on the back of a hardfought<br />

draw at Sheffield Wednesday<br />

last weekend.<br />

At this stage of the Championship<br />

season, each point is priceless and I<br />

was really pleased with the character<br />

the players showed to take something<br />

from the match.<br />

Clearly, we wanted to take more<br />

control of the game than we did and<br />

there were periods where our goal was<br />

under real pressure.<br />

But the players didn’t buckle and<br />

for the third time in four matches<br />

displayed resilience to come back and<br />

get a result having been behind.<br />

We showed more attacking quality<br />

in the second half too, especially the<br />

move for Luke Cundle’s equaliser,<br />

when he was calm and composed<br />

to set himself and finish following<br />

Bae Junho’s dummy and Tyrese<br />

Campbell’s assist.<br />

I was really pleased for Luke to come<br />

off the bench and score a big goal.<br />

He deserved it for the enthusiasm<br />

and positive attitude he has shown<br />

throughout his time here, when he<br />

perhaps hasn’t always had the game<br />

time he would have liked.<br />

All of our substitutes made an impact<br />

and we were unfortunate not to score a<br />

winner as that little bit of luck evaded<br />

us when Junho’s goal-bound finish<br />

struck Luke and deflected wide in front<br />

of nearly 4,000 away supporters.<br />

The support, as ever, was outstanding.<br />

You sensed when the players needed<br />

you and got louder when Wednesday<br />

scored, which definitely played its part<br />

in helping us get the result.<br />

Today we host <strong>Plymouth</strong> <strong>Argyle</strong> at the<br />

bet365 Stadium and I would like to<br />

extend a warm welcome to Neil Dewsnip,<br />

Kevin Nancekivell and the players, staff<br />

and supporters who have made the<br />

journey up to <strong>Stoke</strong> from Devon.<br />

I have fond memories of the success we<br />

enjoyed during our four-and-a-half years<br />

in <strong>Plymouth</strong> and will be forever grateful<br />

to Simon Hallett for trusting me with my<br />

first role in management at Home Park.<br />

I knew the challenge I was coming<br />

into at <strong>Stoke</strong> <strong>City</strong> wouldn’t be easy<br />

and that’s proved to be the case, but<br />

it’s something I’m enjoying and I’m<br />

massively motivated to succeed here.<br />

We are in the infancy of this new<br />

journey and the support you have given<br />

during the past four months adds to our<br />

determination to bring the success you<br />

deserve back to the bet365 Stadium.<br />

Our immediate focus is ensuring<br />

that we get the results we need to<br />

retain our Championship status. This<br />

afternoon’s game gives us a huge<br />

opportunity to make a significant step<br />

in that regard.<br />

It is a massive match for both teams and<br />

I’m sure there will be no quarter asked<br />

or given in pursuit of the three points.<br />

Enjoy the game.<br />

WITH SOHAIL SAHI<br />

8<br />

What a celebration that<br />

was… the supporters in the<br />

lower tier of the Leppings<br />

Lane end celebrated Luke<br />

Cundle’s first goal for <strong>Stoke</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> alongside him with such<br />

unrivalled joy; it was great to<br />

commentate and witness it,<br />

at the same time.<br />

I have to say it was a top-class<br />

finish from the young man,<br />

and Luke was the first to<br />

admit to me after the game<br />

that he’s had a rocky period<br />

at <strong>Stoke</strong> since his arrival in<br />

January but over the next<br />

few weeks hopefully he can<br />

contribute some more.<br />

Credit to him though for<br />

sticking at it and displaying<br />

his talent with that classy<br />

goal and then running<br />

over to the <strong>Stoke</strong> fans to<br />

celebrate.<br />

It’s great to see young<br />

people in any walk of life<br />

fulfil their potential and<br />

in the harsh glare of the<br />

football world even more so.<br />

Onto this afternoon’s meeting<br />

with <strong>Plymouth</strong> <strong>Argyle</strong> and<br />

without going into the back<br />

story which we are all well<br />

aware of, it’s a crucial three<br />

points at stake for both sides.<br />

It’s bound to be tight and<br />

tense and I’m sure with a few<br />

nail-biting moments along<br />

the way. What it won’t lack is<br />

drama and watching <strong>Stoke</strong><br />

throughout this season has<br />

certainly been dramatic.<br />

A few shout outs before<br />

I sign off; a hello to John<br />

Acres who is here today<br />

working for BBC national<br />

radio and his son Evan who is<br />

a <strong>Stoke</strong> supporter and it’s his<br />

birthday.<br />

Evan has travelled to the<br />

match today with his pops<br />

John, and Evan recently won<br />

basketball player of the year<br />

award for his age group in<br />

<strong>Plymouth</strong>.<br />

And I would like to wish a<br />

happy birthday to Melissa<br />

Matthews who amongst many<br />

others does a sterling job<br />

on matchdays as part of the<br />

matchday media team at the<br />

football club.<br />

I hope you have a lovely day<br />

and year ahead Melissa and<br />

fingers crossed <strong>Stoke</strong> start<br />

your birthday off with three<br />

points.<br />

back<br />

WITH THE SENTINEL’S PETE SMITH<br />

t is 31 years ago this month that <strong>Stoke</strong> <strong>City</strong> hosted <strong>Plymouth</strong><br />

I <strong>Argyle</strong> in their third from last game of the season, their<br />

penultimate home match.<br />

The campaign wouldn’t<br />

have been over if they<br />

didn’t win but one more win<br />

was what they needed and<br />

everyone just wanted to get<br />

the job done.<br />

It was the end of 1992/93 and<br />

<strong>Stoke</strong> had been steamrolling<br />

their way towards the Division<br />

Two title, a drive built on a<br />

25-match unbeaten run with<br />

hard-working heroes showing<br />

their quality like Mark Stein,<br />

Ian Cranson and Nigel<br />

Gleghorn. It was the latter<br />

who would play a decisive<br />

role in the final chapter.<br />

Gleghorn had started his<br />

adult life as a firefighter,<br />

playing for his local club<br />

Seaham Red Star in the<br />

Northern League Division<br />

Two. It took a successful trial<br />

at Ipswich Town for him to<br />

reluctantly leave the fire and<br />

rescue service - making his<br />

First Division debut within<br />

weeks, at the age of 23<br />

against Arsenal.<br />

He went on to help Manchester<br />

<strong>City</strong> win promotion then<br />

moved to Birmingham <strong>City</strong>,<br />

where he won the Associate<br />

Members’ Cup under Lou<br />

Macari then spearheaded<br />

their promotion the following<br />

season with 22 goals.<br />

He was lured for a Macari<br />

reunion in <strong>Stoke</strong> in October<br />

1992 as Birmingham were on<br />

the brink of collapse off the<br />

field. He made his debut in a<br />

2-1 Potteries derby win at the<br />

Victoria Ground and played<br />

a key role in a drive towards<br />

promotion.<br />

By April 28 when <strong>Plymouth</strong><br />

visited the Vic, <strong>Stoke</strong> needed<br />

two more points to clinch<br />

top spot.<br />

It was a dramatic start but<br />

from Vince Overson’s big<br />

clearance forward, they took<br />

the lead. Graham Shaw went<br />

on a run down the right and<br />

his cross found its way to<br />

Gleghorn to smash the ball<br />

past Peter Shilton. A nervous<br />

86 minutes later, <strong>Stoke</strong> were<br />

champions.<br />

Gleghorn later said: “I must<br />

have just had the happy<br />

knack of being in the right<br />

place at the right time and,<br />

without wanting to blow<br />

my own trumpet, one of my<br />

qualities was being a pretty<br />

good finisher.<br />

“Lou used to say that people<br />

can stop you playing, but<br />

they can’t stop you running.<br />

He got us fit and then trusted<br />

us to do the job and to make<br />

decisions for yourself. We<br />

had people who could run,<br />

people who could fight and<br />

people who could play.”<br />

Not a bad mix.<br />

THE INTERIM HEAD COACH<br />

Experienced defender<br />

Dan Scarr has chalked<br />

up 28 appearances in all<br />

competitions for <strong>Argyle</strong> this<br />

season. The Pilgrims have<br />

seven clean sheets when the<br />

29-year-old has appeared<br />

in the heart of the <strong>Plymouth</strong><br />

backline, including two of<br />

their last three games. Neil<br />

Dewsnip’s return to the<br />

Home Park dugout signalled<br />

Scarr’s first minutes on the<br />

pitch since January with the<br />

defender completing the<br />

duration of their last three<br />

games.<br />

<strong>Plymouth</strong>’s main<br />

source of goals<br />

has enjoyed<br />

an outstanding<br />

campaign in attack<br />

for the Pilgrims<br />

with 20 goals in all<br />

competitions. To<br />

add to his already<br />

impressive numbers,<br />

the 23-year-old has<br />

nine assists in his<br />

47 games in <strong>Argyle</strong><br />

colours. The attacker<br />

hasn’t missed a<br />

Championship<br />

game for the<br />

Pilgrims in 23/24.<br />

Michael Cooper<br />

returned between the<br />

sticks for <strong>Plymouth</strong>’s<br />

trip to Blackburn<br />

Rovers last month,<br />

retaining his place<br />

for the seven fixtures<br />

since and recording<br />

two clean sheets in<br />

that time. Furthermore,<br />

the 24-yer-old has<br />

“It was important that we stood up<br />

to their physicality today, we watched<br />

them on Tuesday night and we spoke about<br />

how they changed their style at half-time<br />

and went really direct and the crowd<br />

played a huge part. We were expecting<br />

that and we picked a team to withstand<br />

that, in the first half we came under<br />

intense pressure but thankfully we<br />

stood up to it.” STEVEN SCHUMACHER<br />

Duo complete loan<br />

moves until the end<br />

of the season<br />

<strong>Stoke</strong> <strong>City</strong> Under-21s<br />

midfielders Ben Kershaw<br />

and Sonny Singh have both<br />

complete loan moves away<br />

from the bet365 Stadium<br />

for the rest of the campaign.<br />

Kershaw has joined<br />

Newcastle Town on a youth<br />

loan, whilst Singh has<br />

completed a temporary<br />

move to Woking FC.<br />

Kershaw has featured in<br />

nine PL2 matches for <strong>City</strong><br />

this campaign, during<br />

which he notched his<br />

first goal of the season in<br />

December’s 3-1 victory<br />

against Nottingham Forest.<br />

The 20-year-old made<br />

his debut during Easter<br />

Monday’s 2-1 defeat to<br />

Leek Town<br />

The switch for Singh is the<br />

20-year-old’s third loan<br />

experience of the season<br />

following previous spells<br />

at Hereford and Rushall<br />

Olympic, both of National<br />

League North.<br />

Singh was an unused<br />

substitute in Monday’s 1-1<br />

draw with Bromley.<br />

STOKE CiTY<br />

WOMEN<br />

Good afternoon<br />

and welcome back<br />

to the bet365<br />

Stadium for this<br />

afternoon’s match.<br />

t’s been another positive week at<br />

Clayton Wood for the team following on from<br />

I last weekend’s victory over second-place<br />

Burnley at Emerys Stadium, a result that keeps<br />

us on target for a top four finish come the end of<br />

the campaign.<br />

We have seen some real consistency in the<br />

second half of the season and the results have<br />

been nothing more than we have deserved.<br />

But to achieve our target would be a huge plus<br />

for us as a club.<br />

Of course we still have fixtures to play, and<br />

next up is West Bromwich Albion here at the<br />

bet365 Stadium tomorrow, a result that could<br />

see the gap to Wolves cut to just four points.<br />

We’d love to see as many of you as possible<br />

back in ST4 tomorrow afternoon as myself, the<br />

staff and the team are always very appreciative<br />

of your backing. Entry is free for Season Card<br />

Holders, so please come down and support us<br />

if you can.<br />

A positive end to the season would give<br />

everyone a huge boost heading into next<br />

year when we will look to progress the squad<br />

further and continue the journey we have been<br />

on this season.<br />

Enjoy the game.<br />
