    Quick question - was that a red card tackle on Rigg - happened so quick I wasn't sure

    I don't think so, just a bit of a clumsy one.

    What got me most today, how is it that Le Fee takes down a 60 yard pass from 109 ft like nothing, but the ball rolls gently back off the post from Robert’s shot and he turned into me! First touch was awful <laugh><laugh>

    Just lulling Leeds!!

    Excellent result.
    Managed the game really well.
    Dan Neill was superb, Ballard was absolutely dominant. Nice to see Enzo get off the mark.
    Comfortable win, well done to RLB and the lads.
    I’d be very worried if I was a Luton fan. I think they are the worst side I’ve seen this season and Plymouth look like they have found a bit of form.
    Onto Leeds.

    Just home good night all round tonight. Like loads have said very professional performance. Could have blown them away to be honest. Love paddy Roberts shame he couldn’t get the elusive goal tonight very close Neil outstanding and I have no words to describe Le Fee think we are seeing something special As for Luton they were awful long balls little talent and constant fouling. How the hell did they get into the prem

    For once I wasn't shuffling about in my seat tonight. As comfortable a victory as I've seen in a long time.

    The home crowd was much more vocal tonight, I thought. That 'Haway The Lads' chant in the second half went on for ages. Loved it when the tannoy announcement asking people to remain seated, was met with 'Stand up if you hate the Mags'. All the stadium rose to their feet.

    The performance definitely helped keep the cold out. Neil, Ballard, Le Fee, Hume and Roberts definitely deserve a mention. Neil's performance was sublime. Mayenda looked a threat when he came on too.

    Looking forward to the game on Monday. Next to Leeds, we're probably the most entertaining side in the division, so it'll be a joy to watch for the neutrals.

    The bold bit answers your question at the end!! Literally how they got to the prem! Kicked us from pillar to post in the play off second leg!

    That said, we are in a way better place now than we were then. So I’m quite glad we went up. Think Luton are going down!

    Sorry was out tonight so only saw the highlights. By all accounts Luton very poor. The only chance sky highlights showed was a Morris header with 09 falling over trying to defend him. I read other comments saying that Luke should not be marking Morris, strange considering many think he is our No 1 CB.
    Ballard by all accounts had a good game. Many saying MOM.
    Clean sheet so all good. I think Ballard and Mepham are our best CB but if you think different who cares. Football all about opinions, as long as team won.

    Made me laugh this mate. Controlled it like he had diving boots on! One of only times his first touches has been poor!

    I'd like to personally apologise to everyone. I have forgotten my scarf 3 times this season. At the Coventry, Plymouth and Watford home games. I am at fault for those results but I remembered it today. I'll try to be less forgetful

    Yeah I thought that myself. Saw it was rolling to Le Fee and thought definitely 3-0 here then he literally took the worst 2 touchs he has since he's been here. Rather that than do it when it's 0-0 or 0-1 though.

    you do see them given, and possibly with VAR it might have been looked at

    I thought it came at him quicker than he was expecting. Such a shame Roberts’ effort didn’t go in
