Struggling Argyle are the entertainment for MIddlesbrough but Paul Sturrock is not going to the North East to roll over.

"There is a new manager, all the players will be hoping to impress and a big crowd will turn up. Let's hope we can spoil the party," said Paul Sturrock.

"I don't think you will find that Gordon will put much influence into his team after only four or five days of work.

"I think he will be very much taking a backseat, looking from afar.

"He will probably mark their cards that people are playing for their positions, so they are going to have an eager bunch of players.

"We are going to have to match that for the first 10 minutes, but we have worked very hard in training this week and I have been very pleased with the contribution of the players.

It's a massive round trip for the Argyle faithful, let's hope the long and winding road home is a happy one.
