Robinson:
“We should have been out of sight in the first half. We were excellent; the way we moved the ball, rotated and created chances was excellent. It’s all well and good playing nice football but you have to have an end product. We missed too many chances and in the second half we switched off. We knew the only way they’d score would be from a set-piece. Plymouth are a massive, physical team and we defended everything really well but we switched off at one corner and we were punished. That’s the disappointing thing and that’s how clear it was today: missed chances, switched off." Pearce:
“There are a lot of positives to take from the performance but ultimately we lost the game, which is disappointing. All of the lads are down in the changing room but in the back of our minds we also know that we played well and on another day we could have had a different result. It’s better to lose early on in the season and learn from our mistakes. Throughout the game we showed good composure and bravery to get on the ball and that is what we want to do this season. We’ve got to take our chances. Trying to keep a clean sheet in every single game is always difficult but as a team we felt comfortable.”
