After bouncing back from the brink of liquidation off the pitch, Plymouth Argyle are showing a resolve to snatch points from losing positions.
On the opening day of the season, the Pilgrims secured a late point against Shrewsbury Town through a 90th strike from then skipper Carl Fletcher.
Since Fletcher's appointment as manager, Argyle have shown the determination to come from behind on several occasions to win points, a trait that will stand them in good stead for the remainder of their Npower League Two campaign, as they aim to beat the drop into the Conference.
Under Fletcher's reign, the Pilgrims have picked up three draws against Hereford United, Crawley Town and, most recently, against Paul Sturrock's Southend United when Nick Chadwick and debutant loan signing Alex MacDonald scored in the last five minutes to cancel out the Shrimpers' two earlier efforts.
In addition to this, the Pilgrims defeated Bristol Rovers 3-2 on Boxing Day after trailing by a Matt Harrold brace at half-time. In the second half, Warren Feeney, Chadwick and Ashley Hemmings all found the target as Argyle recovered to clinch a memorable win.
If the Pilgrims are to secure their Football League status for next season, similar displays of grit and determination will play a large part in ensuring that they are able to prevent them falling into the Blue Square Premier.
