PILGRIMS PROGRESS INTO PLAY-OFFS

A brace from Reuben Reid against manager John Sheridan's former club Chesterfield lifted Plymouth Argyle into the Play-Off zone for the first time this season.

Reid- currently on loan at Home Park from Yeovil Town- struck with a goal in each half for the Pilgrims, whilst Ritchie Humphreys- the current PFA Chairman, who also made his league debut for Sheffield Wednesday alongside Argyle boss Sheridan- replied for the Spireites.

Should the Pilgrims make the top seven come the end of the season, it will be the first time that they have been involved in the Play-Offs since 1996 when they made an immediate return from Division Three under Neil Warnock after beating Darlington at Wembley.

Also Reid is now just two goals away from becoming the first Argyle striker to score 20 goals or more in a season since Tommy Tynan in the 1988-89 campaign.
