      It’s the risk we take when we field a B-team against lower level opposition. Not only are the players not as good as our first 11, but they’re also not used to playing with each other competitively on a regular basis.

      I’m not mad though. Seems like an excuse, but it does mean we’ve got more time to rest players for the Premier League and Champions League.

      As I had posted on RAWK’s match preview thread, Plymouth had improved themselves defensively in the January window:

      They bought 3 new international defenders in the January window, and appear to have improved.

      Although WBA, whom they defeated last week, are hardly an attacking powerhouse.

      And new manager Miron Muslic has a good story can give a good speech https://xcancel.com/Argyle/status/1878776080363831330

      He wants to make them “compact” as Rafa used to say.

      Going light on our attacking can openers wasn’t the way to go, in full retrospect.

      Beware of managers who can give good speeches.
