<h1>Listen to Rotherham United v Plymouth Argyle on BBC Radio Devon: James Vickery Presents with Chris Cooper and Guy Branston</h1><p>Football fans gearing up for the Sky Bet <strong>League One</strong> clash between <strong>Rotherham United</strong> and <strong>Plymouth Argyle</strong> on Saturday 28 February 2026 at 3pm UK time need look no further than <strong>BBC Radio Devon</strong> for comprehensive coverage. Hosted at the AESSEAL New York Stadium, this pivotal match sees the Millers, languishing second bottom and five points from safety, host the Pilgrims who sit 11th and just six points shy of the playoffs. With <strong>Rotherham</strong> desperate to halt a run of four straight league defeats and <strong>Plymouth</strong> riding high on three consecutive wins, including a stunning 5-2 thrashing of leaders Cardiff City, the air will be thick with tension.[1]</p><p>Tune into <strong>BBC Radio Devon</strong> where experienced presenter <strong>James Vickery</strong> will guide listeners through the action. Vickery, a stalwart of Devon broadcasting, has covered countless matches for the BBC, bringing his engaging style and deep knowledge of South West football to keep supporters hooked from kick-off. Delivering the main commentary is <strong>Chris Cooper</strong>, a veteran voice in regional football coverage whose decades of experience calling games for BBC Radio Devon ensure every tackle, pass, and goal is vividly described. Adding expert insight as co-commentator is <strong>Guy Branston</strong>, the former professional defender who made over 400 career appearances across leagues including time at <strong>Plymouth Argyle</strong> rivals. Branston's playing career spanned clubs like Scunthorpe United and Halifax Town, and his post-retirement punditry offers invaluable tactical breakdowns, making him a fan favourite for his no-nonsense analysis.</p><p><strong>Rotherham United</strong> are in dire straits, having followed promising January wins over Northampton Town and Exeter City with a dismal WWLLLL form line. Recent losses to Cardiff City, Burton Albion, Doncaster Rovers, and Bradford City have left the Millers staring at potential relegation to League Two for the first time since 2013. Their home form at the New York Stadium must improve if they are to claw back from 23rd place.[1][2]</p><p>In contrast, <strong>Plymouth Argyle</strong> are buzzing with DLLWWW league form, bolstered by an exemplary away record that sees them trailing only Lincoln City and Cardiff on the road. Top scorer Lorent Tolaj and striker Bim Pepple's braces in the Cardiff victory highlight their attacking prowess, and Plymouth have won their last three head-to-heads against Rotherham. Head-to-head stats show Plymouth with three wins to Rotherham's six, but current momentum favours the visitors, who could extend their strong run.[1][3]</p><p>Predictions lean towards a <strong>Plymouth</strong> victory, with Sports Mole forecasting a 0-2 scoreline given the Pilgrims' dominance in recent encounters and away exploits.[1] For Millers fans, this is a must-not-lose affair; for Argyle supporters, a chance to edge closer to promotion contention. BBC Radio Devon's coverage promises immersive listening, capturing the drama of a relegation scrap meeting playoff ambition.</p><p>Whether you're in Devon or following from afar, grab your radio or stream online via the <strong>BBC Sounds</strong> app. This fixture underscores <strong>League One</strong>'s unpredictability, where form can flip fortunes overnight.
