Match Day: AFC Wimbledon v Argyle - Team News

THE only player in the Argyle starting line-up for tonight's Checkatrade Trophy match against AFC Wimbledon that started May's Sky Bet League Two Play-off Final...

...is Connor Smith.

That day, of course, Smith was a Wimbledon player. However, none of the 11 that walked out at the home of football for the Pilgrims begin tonight's game. Craig Tanner, a substitute at Wembley, and also a former Wombles loan player, is also in tonight's side. 

Another ex-Don, Karleigh Osbourne, is featured in an Argyle first team squad for the first time since joining the Pilgrims in the summer. He is a substitute, as continues his recovery from injury.
