MORE PRAISE FOR MATETE


Jay Matete has continued his exciting form at Plymouth, with Argyle manager Steven Schumacher praising his game-changing cameo in their 2-1 win over Derby County.


FIRST HALF

"I think for 20 minutes in particular Derby were good. They seemed to get on all the second balls. Then they scored and we had a lot of possession. I think we had 60 per cent possession in the first half. We were trying and we were probing but Derby managed to get bodies in the way, and frustrate us. We didn't get as many shots off on the goal as what we would have liked but they are a top team - they are in the top six - so they are not going to make it easy for us."


SECOND HALF

"We just felt second half we needed to play a little bit quicker. We changed our shape again, got our subs on who we thought would change the game slightly for us, and it has worked thankfully again."


OUTSTANDING

"I felt we grew stronger as the game went on, and that's credit to the lads who came on. I thought Jay Matete was outstanding, he got on second balls and gave us some real energy in midfield."


IMPACT SUB

"Jordan [Houghton] did great for that hour, but Jay came on with bundles of energy - and maybe a point to prove, I don't know. So he was brilliant, right back to his best."
