Plymouth don suffer just one defeat for dem last 10 games and draw 1-1 with fourth-placed Bradford City on Tuesday. Brendan Wiredu put Plymouth ahead, but a second half strike from Will Swan earn Bradford a crucial point. The result mean Plymouth must win dem last two games and hope say Stockport and Stevenage slip up if dem want make the playoffs.
Manager Tom Cleverley never give up hope of getting promoted and don urge im players to “give our supporters two real top performances to end the season”. Port Vale, meanwhile, don officially be relegated to League Two earlier this week after losing 1-0 to an already-promoted Cardiff City side on Wednesday. Rubin Colwill score the only goal of the game for the Bluebirds and Port Vale boss Jon Brady don vow to lead a “reset” next season and help dem “challenge towards the top end of League Two”.
E dey worth noting say Port Vale don beat Plymouth for dem last four meetings at Home Park, with dem last defeat coming all the way back for February 2004. The Valiants never lose for dem last four league games heading into the Cardiff match and go dey look to end a disappointing season on a high.
Plymouth go need to make at least one change after Brendnan Galloway suffer another injury setback during the draw with Stockport. Club captain Joe Edwards fit return to the side after missing the Stockport game due to the birth of im son, with Wes Harding moving back to left-back. Lorent Tolaj and Bim Pepple dey expected to continue leading the line.
