Plymouth Argyle have no injury concerns and can add Alfie Devine, the attacking loan signing from Tottenham Hotspur, to their squad for their Championship clash against relegation rivals Queens Park Rangers tomorrow night.
The mood at Home Park should be much more buoyant than of late after the Pilgrims began the post-Ian Foster era with a vital 1-0 victory away to bottom-of-the-table Rotherham United on Friday night. Devine had to sit that out due to a one-match suspension after he was sent-off in the 1-0 Easter Monday home defeat by Bristol City.
That was a fifth successive loss at the Theatre of Greens, all of them without scoring a goal, and Argyle, now under the temporary charge of director of football Neil Dewsnip and first team coach Kevin Nancekivell, will know how important it is to halt that dreadful run when they take on QPR, who are two positions and and a couple of points above the 19th-placed Pilgrims.
Nancekivell said: “I think the confidence we get from Friday will be huge. Obviously we have had a tough time of it in the last couple of months so that kind of lifts the weight off our shoulders a little bit. We are really excited, we are ready to go, we can’t wait for Tuesday night.”
