There are 1,407 visiting fans from Devon among the 26,168 crowd and they are now making themselves heard with a rather repetitive burst of “Green and White barmy army!

Fair play to them all. Heaven only knows what time they must’ve got up this morning to make it in time for 12:30 kick-off...

As we approach the hour mark the first changes are made by both managers.

West Brom send on Alex Mowatt and Tom Fellows for Ousmane Diakite and Jed Wallace.

Zan Vipotnik, who we have seen very little of, is replaced up top for the Swans by Florian Bianchini.

Hmmm.

A Burnley free-kick is swung in from their right and the referee spots a foul by a Clarets man and awards a free-kick to the home side.

However, in the middle of the stramash Blackburn defender Danny Batth was wrestling Zian Flemming to the floor.

Fortunately for him the referee saw the other infringement first.

Not seen too much from Plymouth in an attacking sense but there's a nice link-up on the left between Rami Al Hajj and the overlapping Bali Mumba.

The latter sends in a low cross which is smashed into an unwitting knee by a Stoke defender before looping into the hands of keeper Viktor Johansson who claims underneath his own bar.

Burnley haven't really come out and Blackburn are in control of the game. That last chance wasn't very offside, but it's offside!

The crowd have tried to lift the teams and the players but the quality hasn't been there.

Dominic Hyam is in the book for dragging Josh Laurent back as he looks to motor down the Burnley left.

Think Giorgio Chiellini on Bukayo Saka at Wembley in 2021 but slightly more subtle.

West Brom had a booking early in the first half and they've just mirrored that in the second, with Callum Styles going into the book for a foul on Ronald.

No complaints and on we go.

The visitors are soon on the offensive again though and a couple of shots have to be deflected wide for corners.

But still there's no end result.

Sam Gallagher suffered an awkward fall into the knees of Plymouth's Darko Gyabi in the opening seconds of this second half and his first start since October is coming to an end inside 49 minutes.

Wouter Burger replaces him in midfield, undoing the only change from the goalless draw at Burnley on Wednesday.

BETTER!

Blackburn move the ball nicely but the away side play Todd Cantwell offside.

His low cross into the area is finished by Mahktar Gueye but the whistle had long gone.

Plymouth just throw in an occasional panicked moment at the back where you can absolutely understand how they are shipping nearly three goals a game on the road on average this season.

Conor Hazard came to the rescue here as Junior Tchamadeu raced in at the far post to meet Tatsuki Seko's pullback from the left byline, only for the keeper to push away his bobbling first-time shot from 10 yards.

Most of Stoke fans are thinking this Plymouth side are there for the taking.

But Stoke are looking a bit disjointed and will need to make the most of this second half.

Second-placed Burnley have drawn their past two games 0-0.

Forty minutes of this one remaining now and I think quite a few would say it looks like it could soon be three goalless draws in a row...

Right Here, Right Now, blares out at the Bet365 before the resumption...

Hopefully Fat Boy Slim proves correct, on this occasion. If ever a game needed a goal, it was this one...

We're back under way at Blackburn v Burnley and the other two Championship games will shortly follow suit.

Could do with a goal or three in our early Championship games in the second half.

The first 45 minutes of football under Stoke City's new boss Mark Robins - and so far it has not proved too memorable.

He got a very warm reception from the Potters faithful - and the mood has been very much one of 'new manager bounce'

According to the official stats, there has been one shot on target for both teams and to be honest, I don’t really recall either of them.

But then the official temperature is currently recording two degrees ABOVE freezing point and I'm not sure I believe that either.

It is exactly how we thought so far very tight and very few chances on goals and the team that gets the first opportunity will take the spoils here.

A slow burner that gradually became a good watch as the half wore on.

Swansea have had more possession but haven't tested Alex Palmer in the Baggies goal, while the visitors have provided a constant threat on the break.

It's felt like we've been close to a goal on several occasions, but 0-0 it remains.

Well, that won't live long in the memory...

Stoke began the brighter, with Sam Gallagher trying his luck after a good run, and Tom Cannon scuffing a good chance straight at Conor Hazard, but Plymouth have grown into the game and look threatening on the counter, with Darko Gyabi's curling shot after a good run about as close as they have come.
