Misery for Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic again

Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic was left to reflect on a third defeat in four games after their relegation rivals Derby County came out on top in a 3-2 victory at Home Park.

The loss for Argyle left them six points adrift of safety, but with a vastly inferior goal difference to Cardiff City in 21st spot.

A brace from Marcus Harness and a sweet volley from Harrison Armstrong handed the Rams the victory, despite Mustapha Bundu netting a free-kick for the home side and a Nat Phillips own goal.

Afterwards, Muslic was feeling somewhat downbeat with his side’s defeat.

Response

He said: “It feels big.

“We gave away two easy goals, from throw-ins we simply could not defend.

“Then you are 2-0 down in a six-pointer knowing this is a big one, this is an important game.

“But actually there was a response.

“That’s very positive because we refused to give-up this game.

“It’s not easy to score two goals, but we did it.

“We managed to score a goal through Mustapha and I think we showed in the second half after we scored we could defend better and turn it into an attack quickly and a possible win.

“We knew it was a six-pointer and you have to go all-in.

“I think the third goal was a summary of the day, we had three chances to clear the ball and we didn’t and they scored.

Suffering

“In the end, we could not defend the third goal.

“We are in the situation we could not give anything away, but we gave away three goals.

“It feels like we gave them the goals on a silver plate.

“We are all suffering together.

“The staff, the players, the fans.

“Right now we are all disappointed.

“Strange things happen in football, so we have to believe.”
