To avoid relegation Argyle need to win or match Birmingham City's result against Norwich City.
A four goal or less defeat by Argyle and a Birmingham draw will still see the Greens avoid relegation.
Only a win for Hull will give them a chance of reaching a play-off place, this would depend on the results of West Bromwich Albion and Norwich, although the Canaries have the advantage of being three points ahead and a plus seven goal-difference.

In a late change Tom Reeves is now the fourth official.

Being over dramatic but the build up to this game feels a bit like being sat on Death Row.

 

[mutley marvel]

So much at stake
I will be glad when the game is done & dusted
My nerves are shredded & it is only Wednesday
If the Green Army are on edge- i hope our boys will be able to keep their nerves in check when they are playing the game

 

[JackPP]

This reminds me so much of Blackburn at home in the 90s…..

At what point will we know whether it will be on Argyle TV? Or do we assume that it's not going to be. 😞

 

[greenplumber]

I was talking about that match to my Argyle following g/children. Lets hope the result is different this time COYG.

 

[WertyQ]

Does anyone know if the game be on the red button?

 

[Sun Stonehouse]

Cooper
Mumba, Phillips, Scarr, Gibson, Galloway
Houghton Forshaw
Whitticker, Hardie, Issaka.
Attacking intent. Usual suspects on the bench.

 

[The Pasty Kid]

Absolutely no way would I start with just two in central midfield. It is not working in general

 

[Sun Stonehouse]

Mumba on the right of midfield and Issaka on the left in effect. We barely create chances currently but with pace on the flanks we hopefully might actually get extra bodies into the box. Invariably Hardie is isolated and needs support. Four at the back and pace with Phillips and Galloway either side. Also extra height for, dare I say it, the odd corner. The difference this week from last week is the delivery hopefully, no Randell this time.

 

[Green95]

14 goals in their last 6, eesh. The only silver lining is Norwich will definitely know that Hull have the potential to overturn a 6 goal deficit if they are losing to Birmingham

 

[HartleyGreen]

Hull are on form pushing for a play-off spot but we’re talking about 7th in the league here like they’re world beaters! 7th!!

We managed a result against Leicester against all odds so the lads have it in them.

This Championship campaign has been crazy and anyone can win any game on the day.

We’re at home in front of a full house, our home, and hopefully we just need a draw but I hope the team come out with a desire to end the season on a high and get the win.

 

[GreenTommy]

i think we set up as we have been, don't expect some sudden shackles off performance, it will be ugly. Lucky for us, i think Norwich will win and we will stay up.

Argyle 1-3 Hull
