“I believe we’re going to be finishing around 15th, Hopefully we will finish higher than that, but I will be very satisfied with that sort of level”- Pundit issues Plymouth Argyle prediction for 24/25 Championship season

Plymouth Argyle have been predicted to upset the odds and secure a mid-table finish under new Head Coach Wayne Rooney in the upcoming 2024/25 Championship campaign.

Following Ian Foster’s unsuccessful, short-lived reign at Home Park, Plymouth found themselves plunged into a relegation battle towards the back-end of the previous campaign and only remained in the division by a single point at the expense of Birmingham City.

However, the futures of Morgan Whittaker and Michael Cooper are uncertain, and the respective outcomes will undoubtedly have a significant impact on just how well Plymouth fare next term.

Nonetheless, internal optimism remains strong at Plymouth, who will be entrusting Wayne Rooney to establish their second-tier status in 24/25 and beyond. The ex-Derby County and Birmingham boss has made six signings to date, bringing in Nathanael Ogbeta and Darko Gyabi alongside numerous recruits from overseas.

Despite being widely-tipped by Championship supporters to be making a return to League One come May, Football League World’s Argyle fan pundit Chris believes they could be ready to spring a surprise or two.

“Looking at the prospects of the season ahead, I believe Argyle are going to have a much stronger finish to the season than we did last time around, whereby we only just about staved off relegation,” Chris explained to Football League World.

“I believe that we’ll be hovering around sort of 15th place in the Championship table. This is firstly due to the fact of the new acquisitions we’re getting in, which have shown higher levels of ability and quality than the previous signings we’ve made.

“Secondly, we have a new, hungry manager eager to prove his worth and what we’ve seen in pre-season is very attack-minded football, with the emphasis on quick and wider play which is something I think will throw off a lot of our opponents.

“So I’m hoping that from the season coming forward, we’re going to be finishing around 15th. Hopefully we will finish higher than that, but I will be very satisfied with that sort of level.”
