PLAYER WATCH v LUTON
0-22.30mins Jason Puncheon
The Punch lined up on the right-hand side of midfield for his full Pilgrims' debut, although he might as well have been left-back in the dressing-room in the first five minutes, when most of the play went down the left.
He did see a bit more of the ball after his watching brief, mostly in a defensive role, and showed great willing to close down Luton's left-hand side, or cut inside to provide linkage with central midfielders Simon Walton and Yoann Folly.
Punch trotted up, and trotted down, and trotted up and trotted down, but the ball was a stranger. Maybe our new potential Togo international would be more involved.
22. 31mins Yoann Folly
Yo's first start of the new season came on the right-hand side of central midfield, just inside Punch as it happens, alongside Simon Walton.
The Frenchman linked well with Simon and Punch as Argyle pressed up field following Jarvis's shock opener, trying to up the pace and spin together a few quick triangles, moving the ball quickly.
He was there for his central midfield partner, providing an out ball and linking play with the back four, and was involved in the training-ground set-piece that saw Walton arrive late at the far-post and just fail to divert Punch's corner home. Argyle regulars will know it as the 'Lee Hodges Move'.
Yo's most telling attacking contribution was from a free-kick wide on the left, clipping in a right-footed cross to Steve MacLean at the near post which put Luton goalkeeper Dean Brill under pressure.

Second half. Let's hope it's more productive than the first. I had a very pleasant half-time, thanks for asking. No tea, but agood chat with former Argyle assistant manager Tim Breacker, a bit of legned here at Kenilworth Road. Tim's out of football at the moment, but I'm sure it won't be for long. Nice guy. Great coach.
With Rory Fallon replacing Jermaine Easter at half-time, Macca started the second half as the morer forward of Argyle's two forwards, a role he enjoys.
The Punters' Pal (anybody notice that his Championship treble in last week's Pilgrim match-day programme came in?) linked well with big Rory to tee up, first, Simon Walton, for a hot that was blocked, and then, Summers, for a shot that was wide.
Macca helped keep the pressure on the Luton goal and seemed to have gained his reward for an influential performance when he fired Rory's knock-on of Punch's corner into the roof of the home side's net. However, with everyone in the ground - including all the players - lining up for the re-start, Luton captain Kevin Nicholls appeared to influence referee Rob Shoebridge to change his mind.

I was going to do new boy craig Cathcart for the last quarter, but, the way the match is going, I don't think he's going to touch the ball - apart from forward set-pieces - so it's Summers time (but the living ain't easy).
Summers has shown a real urgency since his half-time introduction, taking quick free-kicks, urging his team-mates on, spreading the play. Inevitably, as soon as he comes under scrutiny from here, he becomes Mr Invisible.
Maybe he was the man Jamie Mackie was trying to pick out when his ball played in Luton for their second. Certainly, no-one in tangergreen was anywhere near his pass.
Oh dear, we're going to be the nation's fallguys.
Summers set Mackie away but the Argyle sub was bullied out things by Nicholls, rather like the referee earlier, before a free-kick of his caused a bit of panic in the Luton penalty area.
