ON THE GAME
Iain Dowie said: "We had a big travelling faithful at Plymouth and we let them down. I'm not one who rants and raves and goes bananas with the players but too many had poor performances. "We've got a great opportunity to put it right against the top of the table team ' I won't just demand a response, I am sure I will get one. It's now a big, big game for us and a chance to put things right."
