    Time:90'
    • Plymouth Argyle
    • Nottingham Forest
    • 90+5' It's all over and Forest grab their first away win of the season, but it's more misery for Plymouth. How much more time will Paul Sturrock be given?
    • 90+5' Moussi looks to break forward but is hindered by a desperate lunge from Judge and he wins the free-kick. That should be that.
    • 90+2' Blackstock shields the ball in the corner for about 15 seconds before finally giving away a foul. Plymouth whack it upfield quickly but there is no outlet for them.
    • 90' The fourth official has found five minutes of added time from somewhere. Plymouth look as though they could play for another 50 and still not score at the moment.
    • 89' Dele Adebola is Forest's final change, coming off for Guy Moussi.
    • 88' Sheridan curls in a cross but Wes Morgan is strong and quick enough to head it away for a throw-in.
    • 86' Sheridan receives the diagonal ball but he was offside. He was looking right across the line there too, no excuse for straying out of play there.
    • 85' Judge finds himself with space to run into and he STRIKES... The shot swerved through the air but ultimately it was right at Camp who holds on to it.
    • 83' Plymouth have a free-kick deep on the right wing. The set piece is cleared all too easily by Forest and the break is on. Majewski's cross for Blackstock is a little wayward and it's a goal kick.
    • 82' Argyle are defending desperately now, and are struggling to retain any possesion in the Forest half.
    • 79' Forest are having things all their own way at the moment. Plymouth look like a side who are yet to win a match all season.
    • 78' Anderson is felled by a cynical body check and Forest have another promising free-kick. Blackstock jumps but misses and Adebola holds it up. In the end Majewski finds McKenna, who fires over from distance.
    • 75' Luke Chambers will replace Kelvin Wilson for the final quarter of an hour for Forest.
    • 74' Wilson heads the cross to the edge of the box and Judge has time to chest and SHOOT... wide of the target!
    • 73' Before play resumes, Joe Garner is replaced Paul Anderson. The referee was well placed to make his decision on the penalty.
    • 71' The delivery to the near post was poor and easily cleared by Forest. The ball is fired back in and Wilson dives in and Chester goes over! NO PENALTY! The Plymouth players are livid, as are the crowd!
    • 70' Wright-Phillips wins a free-kick on the right. Morgan has to put it behind for a corner.
    • 75' Another change now as Forest bring on Luke Chambers in place of Kelvin Wilson.
    • 66' Tyson gets in down the right channel and curls in a cross that the unmarked Blackstock just can't meet in time.
    • 64' Clark and Gow make way for Lee Judge and Bradley Wright-Phillips, making his debut for Argyle.
    • 63' Instead Radoslaw Majewski will STRIKE! The curling shot is again off target.
    • 62' Blackstock is hindered and the referee gives a free-kick on the edge of the box. A good delivery from McKenna will cause problems here.
    • 62' Plymouth earns themselves a corner. Several have come up for it back Lee Camp plucks it out of the air.
    • 60' Cohen whips a low ball to Adebola at the near post but the striker just can't wrap his boot around it enough.
    • 59' Now the flag goes up against Adebola, who was not switched on and strayed offside as Forest poured men forward.
    • 58' Mackie looks to be clean through from a long ball but the flag goes up against him. It looked as though Morgan had played him onside but replays vindicate the official's decision.
    • 58' Majewski skips the tackle and coems into the area. He has team-mates screaming for the pass but he fires over the bar from an acute angle. Not the right decision.
    • 57' Jamie Mackie does well to track Gunter's run and shield the ball before winning the free-kick.
    • 55' Gray leads the break out for Plymouth but Forest scramble back to stop the danger. Forest still looking the better side, but Plymouth aren't out of it yet.
    • 54' Plymouth send men up for a free-kick but Gow's delivery is cleared.
    • 53' Blackstock took a knock to his shoulder during that passage of play, and receives treatment on the pitch. He is led off the field but is now back on.
    • 52' Blackstock flicks on McKenna's free-kick but Garner's strike at the far post is not a clean one.
    • 51' Adebola lays the ball off and Majewski fires a ball across goal that is blocked. Plymouth on the ropes at the moment.
    • 50' Gunter's cross is easily hacked away by Chester.
    • 49' Good pressure from Blackstock as Forest continue to press.
    • 47' After his successful first spell at the club, Paul Sturrock's record on his return to Plymouth currently stands as W24 L43 D21.
    • 46' Plymouth kick of the second half looking to avoid a seventh straight defeat.
    • 45+2' That's it for the first half. Paul Sturrock faces another tough team-talk.
    • 45+2' GOAL!! Gunter plays a one-two with Blackstock, gets and touch of luck with a deflection before firing past Larrieu to givwe Forest the lead right on half time! That's Gunter's first professional goal - what a time to score it!
    • 45+1' Another high ball into the Plymouth box and Adebola rises to head but Sawyer leaps too to block it. Good defending.
    • 45' Sawyer upends Garner and Forest have another free-kick opportunity. McKenna's delivery finds Blackstock who can only head back to MAJEWSKI! The volley is blocked on it's way to goal. Just as well for Larrieu, it was a good clean strike.
    • 44' Plymouth send a free-kick from midfield out to the wing but Sheridan is penalised for pulling Morgan back as he fights for the ball.
    • 44' Gunter drills a low strike from far out but Larrieu is behind it and holds on to the ball.
    • 43' Majewsli has not been as influential as Forest fans would have hoped so far, but he's seeing more of the ball as the half draws to a close.
    • 42' Garner's cross is blocked by Sawyer. Half-hearted appeals that he used his hand, but nothing doing.
    • 40' The game has become more of a midfield scrap now after that end-to-end opening half-hour or so.
    • 38' Tyson and Garner has switched wings as they try to work their way behind the Plymouth back line.
    • 36' Defender Kari Arnason limps off injured, and is replaced by James Chester, who is making his debut.
    • 34' Gray slides in with a solid challenge on Tyson as Forest come forward. There are complaints that his boot was high but the referee had a good view of it and waves play on.
    • 33' Majewski jinks one way then the other and fires a fiercely dipping shot on goal, but it doesn't quite dip enough and goes over.
    • 32' Argyle avert the immediate danger but can't fully clear their lines. The pendulum in this match is swinging nicely -who can make the initiative count first?
    • 31' Blackstock goes to ground but still fights for the ball and gets it to Garner, whose blocked shot wins Forest a corner.
    • 29' Larrieu's long kick out is flicked on and Diguid turns and STRIKES - over the bar.
    • 28' Forest have a free-kick here. It's curled in by McKenna but he can't find a team-mate with the delivery. The ball ends up in the arms of Larrieu.
    • 27' Larrieu has to react quickly to a short back pass as Adebola bears down upon him!
    • 25' Jamie Mackie twists and turns on the right touchline and weaves his way into the Forest box and STRIKES! Saved by Camp at the near post!
    • 24' Paul Sturrock really looks like a man with the world upon his shoulders as he looks on from the touchline. The Home Park crowd aren't getting on his back quite yet though, they're producing a great atmosphere.
    • 22' Sheridan chests the ball into the path of GOW... The half-volley swings out and wide of Camp's goal. Argyle looking more likely to score at the moment.
    • 21' Gow thinks his persistence has won him a corner, but a goal kick is given. He stopped the ball on the byline and it was Morgan who knocked it behind!
    • 20' It's Forest's turn to pin their opponents back now. The ball drops to Majewski on the edge of the box, but his curled effort is way off target.
    • 19' McKenna sprays the ball out to Garner, but the cross into the box is not forthcoming. If these high balls come in it's hard to know how Argyle will deal with Adebola and Blackstock.
    • 16' Adebola goes bombing down the left chasing a long ball, but Gray is there to cover.
    • 15' These two sides have only scored 15 goals between them in 16 league games so far this season. They've conceded 23.
    • 14' There's a really high tempo to the start of this match. You can tell both sides are pretty desperate for a win.
    • 13' Forest float in a corner but Larrieu comes off his line to catch with authority.
    • 11' Plymouth are really pressing now. The basll is driven across the area and Mackie scuffs his shot wide from the edge of the six-yard box! What a chance. The Plymouth striker was stretching for it but hat should have been 1-0!
    • 10' Gow blasts his free-kick into the wall but then Plymouth win another in almost the same position! This time the ball goes wide and Gray crosses but Forest clear. Good idea though.
    • 9' Clark is double-teamed by two Forest defenders and Argyle have a dead ball in a good position.
    • 8' The ball runs across the path of of Carl Fletcher who blasts a disappointing effort from way out.
    • 7' Plymouth have a corner now after a swift break. The delivery is headed clear but they keep the pressure on.
    • 5' The free-kick is drilled in and BLACKSTOCK HEADS - over the bar! Plymouth just let the striker have a go there!
    • 4' Duguid concedes a free-kick after fouling Tyson on the left wing.
    • 2' Billy Davies has made five changes to his side in a bid to freshen things up. He does love a tinker.
    • 1' Plymouth kick off and we're underway!

    • 13:11 Forest aren't exactly on a roll themselves, just five points and five places above Argyle, who are firmly at the foot of the table.
    • 13:10 Plymouth are still looking for their first league win of the season. Can they get it when they welcome Forest to Home Park and end their worst run for 40 years?

  1. sturrock is a good manager, he does seem to have lost­ his way a bit. I can't think why he is not playing­ the other ex wednesday man Steve Mcqeen.the goal­ machine.

    From BARNOWL, on Tue 29 Sep 1:20AM

  2. Went to the game today, was in a section of crowd that­ were singing we want sturrock out we want sturrock out,­ my lad was nearly in tears and was asking why they are­ being nasty to him.
    He has a lot to learn about­ football and when he does he will look back on this day­ and realise, how much more time can they give to Mr­ Sturrock? he has brought in loanees and still cannot­ get a job done.
    Will see a different side when i reply­ the game recorded, all the angles that you dont see­ from the terrace.
    Time for new blood and someone with a­ lot of passion.
