Plymouth Argyle vs Cheltenham Town preview - Double midfield boost for Argyle

Posted Friday, October 24, 2014 by PA

Plymouth will be boosted by the return of two midfielders when they host Cheltenham.

Lee Cox missed the goalless draw with AFC Wimbledon with a heel injury he sustained against Carlisle last week but is in contention having come through a return to training unscathed.

Nathan Thomas has not featured in their last three games after suffering an asthma attack in the match at Swindon earlier this month but boss John Sheridan confirmed the winger will return to the squad.

This clash with the Robins is the final game of Bobby Reid's loan from Bristol City but Sheridan is confident of agreeing an extension for a second month for the midfielder.

Cheltenham have no fresh injury worries for the trip.

The Robins earned a thrilling 3-2 win over Northampton last Saturday before seeing off Cambridge 2-1 and boss Mark Yates could name the same side that picked up all three points on Tuesday night as he looks to build on a morale-boosting week.

Despite being on the transfer list by request, Terry Gornell has hit a rich vein of form and is set to continue in attack alongside John Marquis.

Joe Hanks also looks set to continue in the starting XI after one of his best displays for the Robins.
