It's the second away game in a row for Plymouth Argyle, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Rochdale in the FA Cup last time out. World class coaching!

Attacker Jordan Garrick got a player rating of 7.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Garrick scored one goal and hit one key pass.
