PRE-MATCH | NOAH WILLIAMS
“I expect the same thing from Plymouth as we do from every other team. We’ve got to give them the respect they deserve. They’re going to try and play, they’re going to work hard, and they’re going to be 100% in the duels and aggressive.
“We can’t think that because they’re a Category Three side, it will be any different, or that because they’re not in the same league as us, we’re going to be any less challenged than we would against anyone else.
“We just need to give them 100% attention and hopefully get the result.
“There have been some positive performances and good individual performances from the boys. There is a lot of learning to do from the start of the season as well.
"The Sheffield Wednesday game on Tuesday showed that there are improvements we can make going into Plymouth on Monday, and we’ll try to bring those things into the game.”
