When you say 'two average sides', Proggs, what exactly do you mean? Within the context of League Two, one is top, and the other sixth, so both are surely 'above average'? League Two is obviously not as good as League One, but sometimes people said, even over the last three seasons, that League One was 'poor', or even 'average', which, quite frankly, is a meaningless phrase.

Yesterday, Crewe were better than the top team for a good while; they perhaps surprised Plymouth with their tactics; Plymouth adjusted, and shaded the second half. They have fast players who chase 'lost causes', and counter-attack effectively. It was agood game, but, frustratingly for us, Crewe lost.

They can do better, and if they're knocked out of the cup and pick up very few points in the next three league games, then yes, that's surely not good enough, but, for now they're in the play-off positions.
As I said, the game was ok and mostly entertaining. But I didn't leave thinking "wow!! how good are Plymouth", I mean it was a team with Fox in it....

I think 'average' due to consistency - even in 2nd half Plymouth weren't great and typically neither were we. I'm not overly fussed about the pen miss, we were still one up. Watch their two goals again - some suspect individuals for us, and perhaps I am being critical of H today? 2nd one especially, he got sucked in.

We shouldn't have lost. We need to be tougher mentally.

And yeah, all played well/ok (bar Zooms who didn't really do much in any role), and well done Nugent - though isn't that a sad reality! He was a better forward than our forwards......
