Coming To Cov - Plymouth Argyle

WHO ARE THEY?
Formed in 1886 at a Coffee House in Plymouth as the Argyle Athletics Club. The name Argyle was fashionable at the time due to Queen Victoria's love of Scotland. They became Plymouth Argyle in 1903 and played their first Football League game in 1920. They have never played in the top flight but were FA Cup semi-finalists in 1984 and League Cup Semi-Finalists in 1965 and 1974. Their nickname is the Pilgrims and their manager is Ian Holloway who took over back in June after Tony Pulis moved back to Stoke.

ON THE GAME
Andy Whing said: "We've been happy with the way we are playing, especially at home. I don't think our away form has been up to scratch as with last season. Our home form has been very good and we have been up around the play-off places and it's a nice feeling when you look at the table and we are in the top six. "We need to win the game on Saturday and hopefully shoot back up the table again.

Plymouth's Hungarian international Akos Buzsaky said "I am really looking forward to playing Coventry on Saturday because they are another good team, like Norwich, and they have a lovely stadium."We will go there looking to build on our win over Norwich."
