They worked hard and fully deserved the win.
It was obvious from the start cooky is going to open the game up and play with width,indeed when we were defending we stayed wide(linfield could have sat with us!!)
Interesting if he plays this way as we could get over-run if not careful.
I personally like it when we close the opposition down by pressing ,don't think we have the players to play with width,although devitt was excellent and was a real plus

Have to agree F19 Plymouth bossed everything from the off with as you say a good blend of youth & experience, agree our game plan looked to use the width but without any success and not forcing a shot till nearly the 40 minute mark which is not the attacking Stanley we have become used to, we looked terrible all over the park with lots of misplaced passing and giving the ball away cheaply when under no pressure.
Got to say Alex McDonald has come on leaps and bounds since I last saw him play for the Clarets Reserves and led the line well for Argyle.
Plenty of work to be done on the training ground before Tuesday's trip to the railwaymen and plenty of food for thought for Cooky & Leam, not quite sure what the solution is but at least the games are thick & fast so we can quickly put it right.
