Plymouth Argyle Daily News - Saturday 1 February

“The style of play has got us 51 points so far and we’ll continue to do that, that’s the brand of football.
“I know there have been one or two individual errors in and around that, but we get better each day and each game we play, so we’ll continue that brand, continue that philosophy, and we will continue to outperform teams with our passing and with our goals."

“It’s very frustrating. It’s come down to an offside goal and a host of missed chances and missed opportunities.
“I’ve said it all season, really. We’ve got to be on the move in the box and anticipate things, instead of just waiting for it and hoping it drops in your lap.
“One of the things we try to work on is the anticipation of things and if we’d done that, we would have scored a couple today.
“I can’t fault their effort or the way they played. In the second half, we played them off the park.
“We’ve had far more shots than them, but they’ve got the three points.

“And, give credit where it’s due, Plymouth dug in and it’s the sign of a good team that they picked up three points without deserving them.
“I would have rather played awful and won 1-0.

“But there are so many positives. The football we played today was exceptional and it goes to show that on decent pitches we usually play a lot better.
“There are loads of positives but it’s frustrating that we’ve lost the game.

“It’s never nice to lose a game but, if we are going to lose a game, you want it to be in the right manner and today we did that.
“We believed in ourselves, we stuck to the game plan and it was just a lapse from a corner.”

“The goal was slightly offside. I’ll also say that I didn’t think theirs was a red card.
“I thought it was a yellow card. I didn’t think he deserved a red card so there were a couple of baffling decisions.
“And at the end he was supposed to add on the 30 seconds for each yellow card but he blew up dead on the four minutes.
“There was an extra minute to play when the ball was in their box so it was one of those games.”

“Sometimes you have to roll your sleeves up and our lads rolled their sleeves up today – they got rid of every ball that came into that box from the opposition. We’re a football based team, but we did the dirty and nity gritty side of things today too, and to get points from it makes it even more pleasing.”
