1) Nice to watch two teams playing decent football. Scunthorpe had probably the bulk of play and created a good first half chance for McSheffrey, who was already celebrating as he put it wide!
2) Argyle had their chances too. Hourihane had a 1v1 well saved but really he probably should have done better. Hourihane and Young had good first 45s as did Nelson after his usual early misplaced pass.
3) Series of corners for Scunthorpe caused concern in the Argyle defence. It was noticeable that Reid rather than Parsons was defending the near post after the debacle at Rovers.
4) My feeling at half-time was that the game could go either way and the first goal would be crucial.
5) Madden looked lively for Scunthorpe until Hayes replaced him and their defence looked strong. Their 'keeper was one of the shortest I've seen at Home Park but his agility was good. Dreadful time wasting from the 10th minute onwards!!
6) Hourihane had a good run and shot in the second and put a good cross in on another occasion but Reid was on his heels rather than attacking the space. Alessandra hit the post.
7) Argyle needed subs and fresh legs but Sheridan was again late with his subs.
8 ) Two slips in the Argyle defence eventually let them in. Trotman committed and missed his challenge and Parsons nowhere again. The second came from Argyle pushing up.
9) Argyle fans got behind the team well at the start but quietened after 30 minutes. Better again in the second. Finished the game in virtual silence. A draw would have been a fairer result, 2 nil loss wasn't the right score but there you go.
