'CONCERNED' FOR ARGYLE

PILGRIMS AMONG RELEGATION CANDIDATES SAYS PUNDIT

- CHRIS ERRINGTON

SKY Sports' EFL expert Don Goodman has named Plymouth Argyle as one of the clubs he would be 'concerned about' when it comes to being relegated from the Championship in 2024/25.

He also suggested League One Play-Off Final winners Oxford United, another of the newly-promoted sides Derby County, Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland could struggle to stay up. Argyle finished one position and a point above the drop zone last season and have since appointed Wayne Rooney as their new head coach.

Goodman believes the England legend will have learned valuable lessons from his difficult time at Birmingham City, when he was sacked after 15 games and just two wins.

In an interview with OLBG, Goodman gave his assessment about the teams who he thought would be under threat of relegation in the forthcoming Championship campaign.

He said: "Des Buckingham has a huge job on his hands at Oxford as play-off winners are notoriously the teams that struggle the most. It's just brilliant that they're in the Championship.
