Match

Tegan Finn sends Plymouth Argyle through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Tegan Finn obliged against Colchester United. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Plymouth Argyle.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Xavier Amaechi

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Bradley Ibrahim at 21 — 7.77

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Bradley Ibrahim did not need any: 7.77, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Michael Baidoo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Plymouth Argyle this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Yann Gérard falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

Plymouth Argyle supporters have found a favourite in Bradley Ibrahim

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Bradley Ibrahim has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Ronan Curtis in the eights

A performance of 8.27 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Michael Baidoo stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.53 on the card, and the Plymouth Argyle support went home talking about one name.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Mathias Ross

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Zak Baker asks to leave Plymouth Argyle

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Caleb Watts

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Plymouth Argyle

Joe Ralls was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Lorent Tolaj falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Conor Hazard

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

5 new faces, and Plymouth Argyle are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
