International breaks lead to a stop-start season for Argyle

Every club has played 11 fixtures so far and Steven Schumacher’s Pilgrims are in 18th position with 11 points after losing back-to-back games at Home Park against Millwall and Swansea City.

Argyle now have another five matches before the third out of four international breaks this season, which covers the weekend of November 18-19.

All of them are against some of the biggest names in the Championship, with Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough coming to the Theatre of Greens while there are also visits to West Bromwich Albion, Ipswich Town and Leeds United.

Tomorrow vs West Bromwich Albion (A) 

West Brom, who were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2020/21 season, are currently 11th in the Championship with four wins and 16 points from 11 games.

Albion had been unbeaten in five before losing their last match before the international break, beaten 3-1 away to local rivals Birmingham City.

West Brom are currently short of attacking options with Daryl Dike (Achilles) and Josh Maja (ankle) both out of action, while six-goal top scorer John Swift suffered a calf injury at Birmingham and is set to be sidelined too against Argyle.
