Past meetings and a look at the manager of Saturday's opponents
Saturday's game will be our sixth League meeting with Argyle and we have yet to be beaten by them at home.
Last February a late goal from Shamir Fenelon rescued a point in a 1-1 draw. Argyle had won 2-1, despite an equaliser from Roarie Deacon, earlier in the season while two second-half goals sealed a 2-0 triumph in our most recent meeting at Home Park on New Year's Eve.

Adams, 41, took over at Plymouth in June 2015 after leaving Scottish Premier League club Ross County. He managed the Staggies in 286 games in two separate spells and led them to three Hampden finals. He also had a spell as No.2 at Hibernian. He has been in charge of 103 Plymouth games.
