Paul Wotton's return to the Plymouth Argyle side coincided with the Pilgrims making a return to winning ways as they came away from their trip to Dagenham and Redbridge with all three points.
Reuben Reid opened the scoring with his 11th league goal of the season after five minutes before the Daggers equalised through Zavon Hines; but Lewis Alessandra then restored their advantage, which they held onto until full time and manager John Sheridan admitted that Wotton's return had helped to galvanise the Pilgrims' side.
"He's a talker, he sees the game on the pitch and I wish I had a few more like him. I thought he was excellent. He got a grip of people and he never shuts up, and keeps people on their toes," said Sheridan.
"I was going to play three at the back and I think that suits him. He doesn't have the legs he used to have, but we lack an organiser on the pitch.
The win moves Argyle back up to 10th place in the League Two table, and it proved to be a double celebration for Bastille drummer and Argyle fan Chris Wood; earlier in the week Bastille won the BRIT award for the Best Breakthrough Act and he got to see his team win whilst acting as summariser alongside BBC Radio Devon commentator Gordon Sparks.
