ON THE GAME
Plymouth boss Paul Sturrock said to This Is Plymouth: "Our form away from home is as good as anybody, but it was in March against Watford when we last won at home. "We've got five cup finals coming up and it is up to the players to respond. "We've got three home games, against Coventry, Doncaster and Barnsley, and anything we can get away will be a bonus. "It's important we get points at home, starting with Saturday.
"Coventry on Saturday is a crucial game to us."
