Bristol Rovers v. Plymouth Argyle Boxing Day 2011

Paul Buckle only had 2 games left to prove that he should carry on as manager at Bristol Rovers but was unable to get a win at the Memorial Stadium on monday after Rover 3-2 defeat against Plymouth.

The game started off well from Rovers with an Andy Dorman header which came of Lee Brown's cross into the box which was saved by Argyle keeper Jake Cole.  Rovers First goal came when Matt Harrold was fouled in the box to be given a penalty which he struck perfectly into the bottom right hand corner.  The second goal came only 2 minutes later on the 32nd minute when Joe Anyisah crossed the ball into the box for Harrold to fire into the top corner.

Plymouth's first goal came in the 52nd minute when a corner taken by Nick Chadwick is delivered towards Wayne Feeney who strikes for goal.  Rovers had no other chances in the second half and on the 79th minute Nick Chadwick scores from a headed clearance by Byron Anthony and takes the shot which takes a small deflection from Scott Bevan as it goes in.  Plymouth's winner came on the 90th minute when Bevan takes a poor goal kick to see Ashley Hemmings fire home goal number 3.

Tickets for the Aston Villa game went on general sale today-wednesday 28th december.
