3 things we clearly learnt about Plymouth Argyle after their 1-1 draw v Wigan

Plymouth Argyle remain on course for a top-six finish after their 1-1 with league leaders Wigan Athletic yesterday.

22-year-old goalkeeper Michael Cooper has had an impressive season between the sticks for Plymouth and proved his worth once again yesterday.

It was a keeper mistake at the other end that allowed Argyle to take the lead but Cooper barely put a foot wrong and made some vital saves to help secure a good point away at the league leaders.

Their ongoing struggles in front of goal are a worry 

Plymouth scored just their second goal in six games against Wigan and needed a Ben Amos fumble to do so.

Jephcott did well to arrive first to capitalise on the mistake but yesterday’s performance did little to ease worries about their struggles in front of goal.

Argyle have scored just one goal from open play in the last six games and that is
