IN THEIR FACES

Posted on: Wed 04 Nov 2009

ARGYLE will be seeking a little revenge when Doncaster Rovers visit Home Park on Saturday.

The Yorkshire outfit dished out a footballing lesson in their 3-0 destruction of the Greens last season, which completed a double for Sean O'Driscoll's men after beating us 1-0 at the Keepmoat in December.

Manager Paul Sturrock believes a higher tempo will be crucial to avoiding a similar outcome.

"They came here last season and gave us a lesson in how to pass the ball," said Luggy.

"We couldn't get near them and it was pretty similar up there. If you let them pass the ball, they will hurt you.

"We have got to put food for thought to the players on what we would like to see on Saturday and reinforce that.

"They are not the same team when they don't have time and their heads are down, but you need to have an engine to do that over 90 minutes.

"We have worked very hard on that over the last couple of weeks because I did feel it was a feature at Bristol City, when we didn't last the whole minutes.

"We managed 97 minutes on Saturday [against Middlesbrough] and we will take that kind of effort into the game again. We have to get in their faces and battle.

"We want to close the gap on as many of the teams as possible. We would like to see it become a ten-horse race. The three points [at Middlesbrough] was very important to us and sucked in some teams.

"Winning is habit-forming and we've had three wins and a draw in the last six games. If that kind of form is transported to the rest of the season, we will comfortably be in mid-table."
