I can now see why Argyle though beat Exeter. For whilst they probably played a better style/brand of football than Argyle throughout the season, Argyle were a much more resilient, battle hardened team.

This may be true overall but that is not why we beat them at home. We beat them playing absolutely terrific football - one of the two or three genuinely top notch stylish performances of the season.
Agreed. We were very good that day and even stop Watkins and Wheeler (who was on a terrific run of goal scoring form).
If you look at the way they carved out chances against Carlisle in both games and then remember how Argyle played against them I would say we restricted their passing football much better. Just like we did against Doncaster and Portsmouth away who had terrific home form. It wasn't pretty by Argyle, but as proven it was more effective because it often meant we had a positive result.
I dare say if Argyle had been playing in these playoff games they wouldn't of been as "entertaining" but Argyle, based on this season, would have come away with a positive result. However, credit must go to all four teams for playing in the manner they have. I am really glad Luton went out though last night as that Hylton dive was a disgrace. If we won a big fixture in that way it would leave a bad taste in my mouth. What annoys me more is that he doesn't need to do that because he is such a talented player.
