Post-Match Fans' Opinion

    That was an enjoyable evening and well worth the 350 mile round trip! Thought the kids looked ok for the most part but lacked a bit of quality and cutting edge. Don't think either team deserved to score in the first time though Walker had to be alive to a few crosses early on. Don't know what to even say about either of their goals. Utterly baffling how a "team" of officials can award that first one. The ball is so far over the line it might as well be in the car park. Our lot didn't even initially protest that much because they assumed it would obviously be given as a goal kick! We didn't deserve to be trailing and fair play to…

    The Plymouth fans on Twitter don’t seem to have taken the result too well, apparently we’re a ‘weird’ fan base for celebrating a victory against a League 2 team.

    Thanks for the (cheerful) report CR. Shame Olise didn’t have a better game but otherwise seems positive

    Too early to tell obviously, but any signs Obita will be able to challenge Richards? It'll be interesting if/when he does come back to full fitness.

    Too early to tell obviously, but any signs Obita will be able to challenge Richards? It'll be interesting if/when he does come back to full fitness. It's such a difficult call to make, isn't it. I would love to see him on the bench as soon as possible, maybe even Saturday, but we have to be so careful with him. Could be October before we see him really pushing Richards, given the international break.

    Too early to tell obviously, but any signs Obita will be able to challenge Richards? It'll be interesting if/when he does come back to full fitness. Absolutely. He’s the best left back we have at the club and without doing anything spectacular just showed a couple of glimpses of quality. He’s still a while off yet, I don’t think Plymouth did their homework because they should have targeted him more - I know that’s what I’d be saying if I was an opposition manager. It was a really nice introduction for him. In addition, Richards has done nothing to deserve being dropped and the spot is his to lose. I’d look to gradually introduce…
