Plymouth 0 Newcastle 0: Hughton's much-changed side settle for replay

As 800-mile round trips go, it was not the Toon Army's most satisfying. Now Plymouth and their fans face the same mind-numbing marathon after these Championship rivals could not be separated at Home Park. Newcastle skipper Nicky Butt went closest to breaking the deadlock when he had an 85th-minute volley tipped on to the bar by home keeper Romain Larrieu. Larrieu had denied lively winger Danny Guthrie at the end of the first half which the visitors also edged.

Ringing the changes: Chris Hughton'We're still in the hat, which is important because it's acompetition we want to do well in. We were a little unlucky and I feltthat if one side were going to win the tie it would be us.'  Argyle head coach Mariner said: 'We relish our situation becauseeverything at this club is geared towards progression. 'And I see goingto the Championship leaders for a Cup replay as progression. A fewweeks ago no one would have given us a chance today.'
