Surely we can beat a team with 0 strengths and 8 weaknesses….

Looks as if Doncaster have modelled themselves on a certain team that used to play in green. What do they say about imitation and flattery? I'll go for 0-0 with neither side leaving their own half!

Easy to forget that Jephcott's overall form is just over 1 goal every 3 games... Fairly decent return for a home-grown talent, I'd say.
.. better than that if you look at his goals to minutes ratio.

Exactly, I doubt he averages more than about 60 minutes per appearance so his ratio is more like 1 in 2.

Slightly concerned about Agard, have a feeling he'll nick a goal. Odubeko looks decent too. McSheffrey appears to be doing a reasonable rebuild over the past few weeks.

Apologies if this question has already been answered. What is the source of the Tactical Analysis in these match previews? If it's available for all teams what does it say about Argyle?
