Plymouth Argyle

"If you look at it on paper, a former player for the club, had a really good couple of stints in charge - from that perspective a really good potential option."

With Rob Edwards going to Wolverhampton Wanderers, should Middlesbrough turn to someone who spent time at the Molineux to continue their promotion hunt?

The 72+ team are joined by Chelmsford City striker Lyle Taylor and Peterborough Sports boss Phil Brown to discuss whether former Wolves head coach Gary O'Neil is the right man for the now vacant managerial seat at Middlesbrough.

They also get stuck into who should replace Will Still at Southampton, assess the departures of Alan Sheehan and Liam Manning from Swansea and Norwich City, as well as taking a look at Derek Adams' new role at a struggling Plymouth Argyle.

What a week, eh?

Plymouth Argyle winger Xavier Amaechi could be fit again within the next month.

The 24-year-old summer signing has been out since early September after suffering a hamstring tear.

It had been feared he would be on the sidelines until the new year.

But head coach Tom Cleverley says Amaechi has impressed with his dedication to his recovery.

"Xav's doing fantastic," he said.

"He's really worked his socks off in his rehab. He's out on the pitch every day, he's running at about 75% of his speed and I expect him to be with the team in the next couple of weeks.

"He'll need a couple of weeks more training, but I'd say within four weeks we should see Xav back in a shirt."

Meanwhile, defender Julio Pleguezuelo could be fit in four weeks having not played all season due to a knee injury, although Jack McKenzie and Caleb Watts are longer term injury absentees.
