Argyle were a decent side. The goal we conceded could and should have been avoided - both Buxton and Bettinelli were weak. That said I think it was a mistake of Beattie to ask the rookie - even in good form - to fill in at left back in a crucial league game. I would sooner have seen Liddle start or if he wasn't fit dropped Molyneux back. Buxton went on to have a real hit & miss performance but gave every bit of effort.

We really should have been 2-0 up at half time after a period of consistent pressure resulted in a countless series of corners. We were also robbed of two clear penalties.

Kal Naismith was rightly taken off for being a passenger. Battles on boggy pitches are not the arenas a luxury player of his ilk will succeed in. Lots of questions over whether he has the commitment to be a League player.

Bringing Odejayi on was a mistake in my opinion. We created very little from our direct game and cut out our most effective players (Molyneux and Gray). Odejayi's poor finishing cost us two further goals in the second half while we sunk Will Hatfield - who is best when driving into the penalty area - deeper into midfield. It would have been better to bring on Webber who is much smarter on the ball. The weather's effect on the pitch made for extremely difficult conditions but we succumbed to them far too early by opting to go long.

Luckily Aldred's great finish saved us a point in what could easily have been three thrown away.
