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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
conceded just six times<br />
in that run of games.<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 />
