Disappointment is an understatement when it came to the QPR result. It wasn't that they played well, more that we didn'y play at all. Arca especially has been quiet since the start os season. The good news is that all the favourites for promotion are suffering in similar ways, so not all is bad.

Plymouth have got off to a flying start since joining The Championship, picking up 7 points from a possible 9. Don't expect this to last too long though and I'm backing the lads to pick up their first away win of the season. Like the Coventry game, the lads will be looking to make up for a some what poor performance, so I think we'll bring Plymouth's unbeaten run to a stop come Saturday.

Sunderland need to win this game in order to ensure they keep up with leading pack and not find themselves playing catch-up again.

Starting eleven: Poom, Wright, Breen, Caldwell, Arca, Lawrence, Robinson, Whitley, Oster, Stewart and Kyle.

Subs: Alnwick, Lynch, Thornton, Whitehead and Elliott.

Score: PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 1 SUNDERLAND AFC 2

Scorers: STEWART AND ARCA
