BBM: "It was a very disappointing result for us naturally,"

BBM:

"It was a very disappointing result for us naturally," Brian began. "We have to take it on the chin and move on quickly.

"I thought we had good control over the game. We looked very dangerous in the early stages.

"Plymouth Argyle are very direct nowadays and get the ball in the box really quickly and on transition they caused us some problems. We weren't at our best in terms of how we created chances.

"The nature of the goals and how they occurred and the close proximity of them to each other was difficult for us to manage. We conceded from two of our own attacks. They broke quickly and scored.

"We bounced back really well. I was very confident we'd create chances as we did and score.

"Then, as the second half wore on, I was pretty sure we'd score again. Their penalty took away a lot of momentum for us. Today wasn't our day.

"It was a great result for Plymouth Argyle. I hold Tom Cleverley in the highest regard. I saw the work he did at Watford and I really admired that.

"The style of the team has changed. They are very direct and very strong at what they do. Well done and good luck to them.

"Today we weren't good enough with the ball and didn't defend those key moments well enough as a team."

Murphy is hopefully our manager for Msny a year but this is the only struggle we have had against the more powerful physical teams,
we were overpowered today,
lincoln are the same as Plymouth that's why they had a 1 1 draw down there .
We are obviously not going to win every game we have lost only 2 in 19, we just need a way to cope with the physical teams even more so if we are promoted into the championship next season

The championship isn't more physical than league one and the refs actually protect the players to a much higher standard
