"The one thing you can see - they're running. They've proved hard to beat. They need to turn a couple of those draws into wins from their point of view, but they're unbeaten in five. The one win in that run of five was against Peterborough away. It was their only goals conceded and points dropped at home. "Scott seems to have got them going. It's really clear when you watch the games, they get after you. " ON SCOTT BROWN "I think it's fair to say he had quite a good career! "It's his first job, so he will want to make it work. The obvious thing is the energy they've got. They've got a structure in what they are doing. "They've got some good players, they've recruited some good players as well. It's been a good start for them, particularly after last year.

The Home Park fixture, earlier in the season, also finished in a draw, with Callum Camps’ strike cancelling out a goal from Ryan Hardie.

" ON FANS' BACKING SO FAR THIS CAMPAIGN "After last year, a disappointing season and we take 1000 to Plymouth which feels like the other end of the Earth. They watch what was probably our worst performance of the season so far. "One thing they do is they stick with the players. They keep travelling in numbers and hopefully, we can give them a little bit to cheer about and they can cheer us home again. "The players are really appreciative of the support they get. Particularly, I know it's well documented, but you look at the price of petrol. People are feeling the pinch at the minute, so it's a long way to go.
