Exile has got it spot on. We ought not to get too euphoric. Conneely was on the field - I would be hesitant to say more than that. He had a rollicking from Hughes and Ripley on two occasions in the first half. Finley played well - but was clearly out of position and visibly tired in the last 15 minutes. If Coley had brought on Zanzala at that time, I feel we could have won 5 - 0.

A word for the officials - awful. The referee was totally inconsistent. There were some glaring mistakes. In the first half, Mark Hughes won the ball with a super sliding tackle and play went on. The Plymouth bench complained vociferously, the referee brought play back - and booked Hughes! No wonder Hughesy applauded the Plymouth bench. And the poor assistant referee was suffering from some kind of paralysis that prevented him from raising his flag. On at least 3 occasions, the ball was well out of play - but no flag.

Having said all that, it was great to come away with 3 points. Difficult to choose man of the match - Ripley and Clark both excelled with Hughes and Ihiekwe both towers of strength in defence.
