1) No recognised wing backs in the starting 11 so Moore one side and George Cooper on the other. Telford alongside one of the Grants in attack. Riley fit enough to make the bench. The team had a very attacking look about it.
2) Argyle dominates the first 20 with Sarcevic having a driven shot well saved then Mayor hitting the upright/bar. Moore and Cooper dominated proceedings and Argyle were indoctrinated not to be in front.
3) Between 20 and 35 the game was more even though Morecambe never looked like scoring despite getting into some good positions whereas Argule had a number of shots from distance that went over or wide.
4) The last 10 minutes of the first 45 was all Argyle. Telford was in a foot race with the centre back to go 1v1 with the keeper, he was felled by a flailing arm and Huxtable sent the defender off. Cooper gave us the lead with a placed free-kick. A couple of minutes later and it was 2. Joel Grant felled in the box and Sarcevic thumped home the penalty.
5) Damage limitation seemed to be the key for Morecambe in the second half. Argyle were set the task of breaking down a resolute Morecambe defence. Cooper went close with another free kick then Telford and Sarcevic went close.
6) With 25 to go Rudden replaced Grant. Almost immediately Morecambe forced a save out of Palmer, his first meaningful action of the game. Into the last 20 and Conor Grant came on for Sarcevic. Rudden managed to put over when it would have been easier to score.
7) Argyle lost their way a little for a while, trying to over complicate things and losing the ball cheaply. A more ruthless team would have racked up a cricket score. Argyle replaced Telford with Clarke. Eventually we added a third through Conor Grant.
8 ) No one had a poor game in a green shirt although we didn't look as sharp once Grant and Sarcevic were replaced. The game seemed to mean a lot to Wootton who had one of his best games in a green shirt. Moore had a good game as did Sarcevic
9) Adams got a frosty reception after he did one of his trade mark wanders into the Argyle technical area after Mayor was heavily tackled late. "We're not boring anymore" and "we're just a bunch of yobbos" sang the Devonport
