So, Plymouth will be looking to get the ball in from the bye-line as many times as possible, hoping to bundle the ball home.
We need our best defensive full-backs playing, and a hard-tackling midfielder (McW or JO'T) who can cover the D when they get into the last 3rd (to stop any follow-ups from under-pressure clearances).
That's aside from their ability to drive forward with the ball from midfield.
But, the best form of defence is attack (although many managers get that the wrong way around - eg, Mourinho). So, we need players who can peel wide into the gaps left by their advancing wing-backs/wingers, and who can drive forward with the ball in the spaces that they will leave.
This is going to be all about stonewall defending on the half-way line, and playing in behind their wide defence as early as possible.
If we don't do this, then, we may come unstuck......
