Southend United 2 Plymouth Argyle 0
It was all looking fairly even at half-time, but by the end of the game old boys Liam Dickinson, (well, sort of), and Peter Gilbert had scored, the Pilgrims were down to ten men, and boss Peter Reid was soon to lose his job! v Southend United 2 Plymouth Argyle 0: The Highlights Blues boss Paul Sturrock is well aware his side are not teh finished article yet, sixth place or not: "In the first half we did not perform very well and did not get started. I think Tuesday night (when 10-man Southend beat Gillingham 1-0) took a lot more out of us than we thought. We looked leggy and Plymouth did well. We gave them a bit of a rocket at half-time and changed one or two things around and have got the win. But we are going to need to play better than we did in the first half if we are to beat the more dangerous sides that will come here." Fair enough, but let's enjoy waching the goals that saw off poor old Peter Reid, and let's face it, if you let Peter gilbert score after eight years something must be wrong!
