Amazing atmosphere during last 5 mins as the news from Plymouth filtered through. The excitement seemed to fire up their players more than ours though! Up to then I thought the team were a lot calmer than the crowd, who seemed to be suffering from PTSD after the Swansea match!
Weirdly, Piroe seems to have become a mirror image of himself....... he used to be a stumbling idiot anywhere outside the box who became lethal in front of goal, but today his linkup play was nothing short of magnificent but he just could not get the ball into the bloody net!
