Grit and guile 17:46 - Mar 2 with 1766 viewsjasondozzell

We've played superb football all season but the other thing McKenna has has instilled in this squad since the beginning is hard work, tenacity and a positive approach.

Today's the sort of win that makes me think we could really do it.

We struggled to get things going a bit, Plymouth pressed well, but we fight and compete and keep trying to do the right thing no matter what. In the end that's what earned us the goals.

I thought there were some really excellent performances from Tuanzebe again, Woolf and Burg.

All epitomised by Harness. What a disciplined and committed job he did to help control and close out game.

Moore's goal was brilliant.

Mckenna's coaching and the good habits we have make us so resilient.

8 hour coach journey back now going to fly by!

Yep, it wasn't always pretty but we gradually took control and dug out a deserved victory on the road. Got to love this team.

on radio it sounded like an even first half, but from about 60 onwards we sounded like we were in the ascendency, turning the screw, eventually getting the rewards. Tuesday is another big one, hope we don't have another Rotherham after a similar distance trip on a heavy pitch. These boys seem to learn from mistakes very quickly though. The flat spell over new Year, Maidstone, seem like a long while ago now! Brilliant.

I think they largely nullified us for much of the game. Not a huge number of chances at any stage.
Travis was a downgrade on Luongo. Has not yet got the hang of the tight balls from defence with his back to the opposition. Bit of luck and a bit of quality got us the goals. Never looked like conceding though. Pretty dull game for the most part.

It was even on account of us blowing a lot of good chances to slot someone in

We missed so many passes, it was unbelievable but we kept grinding away and wore them down

Plymouth look a poorer side than they were under Schumacher, it Whittaker isn't getting chances, they are severely nullified

Miller looks exciting but a bit headless and lacks composure where it matters, what on earth has happened to Bali Mumba, I thought he was the golden boy for them?

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

And I read they flew down and back, so no 6 hour + coach trip to get tired and tight on! Maybe it's because I'm on a night shift and have been watching any clips I can on YT and reading TWTD, but I feel very optimistic at 4.40am!

Loved the Harness song being sung a couple of times - sends such a strong message to the player

I disagree on Travis. I think he’s been excellent as a Luongo fill in. The Town TV commentators made that point about receiving the ball from the keeper too but on that occasion it was a hospital ball from Hladky.

On the whole I feel he is really growing into the team.

Travis was well up for it yesterday, I think he is a talented player, and will benefit from having people like Morsy and Chappers around him, and just watching how these guys conduct themselves.

You make him sound wet behind the ears, but he's played 200+ Championship games and was captain of Blackburn last season.

I thought he was pretty average. Lots of missed passes, and got himself in trouble several times taking the ball in the classic Morsy position and not being ready for a man behind him.
