    Here we go again with the next possible away win first for this season. I'm bound to be right at least once this season aren't I? We can win this of course. We still have Morgan so whats not to like.

    BBC have it as 3:4:2:1 with Mumba and Miller as wing backs and Devine and Whittaker as “Number 10”s

    Swansea failing to take their chances and probably unlucky not to be level, Still, we're usually better in the second half so not lost yet.

    Hard fought victory, riding our luck most of the time, but a victory all the same. Eight points clear of the drop zone with a game in hand.

    Swansea's Cooper should have been sent off, but wasn't. Hardie missed a chance to make it 2 in the second half and Hazard made several good saves. Who cares? Three away points in the bag at last.

    Stoke got thrash 5-0.....only 4pts above the relegation positions and deteriorating goal difference.....not relegation for Schumacher ?....oh well the extra money is why he moved anyway.

    My MotM award would go to the travelling Green Army.

    On the radio, their support for Argyle drowned out the other sides boos for theirs.

    I am more chuffed than the proverbial very chuffed badger this evening. Of course it was Whittaker who else. I hold my hand up and say that Hazard worries the brown stuff out of me a lot of the time but there is no denying that he has done the business in the last few games. I just wish he was more decisive in his 6 yard box. If I was Whittaker I would have still been doing laps of honour around the ground now just to rub their nose in it. Now we have broken the duck in the away department is this the start of the push...........watch this space.

    What a goal that is!

    Not a thunderous shot into the top corner. Not a slick move ending in a tap-in. It's a slimy, deceitful dead-ball situation ending with our best player slotting it home into the far corner. We've scored some good goals but nothing as pre-ordained as that. We haven't scored many (if any) from dead-balls but that is nasty. Love it.

    When the sky person at the match said how the goal was scored and started with Plymouth won a corner and......... At that point I fell over stunned. WE NEVER SCORE FROM CORNERS. I thought that was in the FA rule book. Just watched it on the match highlights. Very very well executed. Whittaker knows where the net is doesn't he.

    Yes I’ve seen it. Very clever. Trouble is of course that the rest of the division will have seen it too but it shows there’s a different perhaps more thoughtful hand at the wheel.

    Your starter for ten. Do hands think?

    That's a leading question. Depends what they are doing.
