ETHICS MAN

Posted on: Mon 14 Jan 2008

PETÉR Halmosi created two goals and scored the other as Argyle won a place in Monday's FA Cup fourth-round draw with a 3-2 win over Hull City.

"He has a work-ethic and a shape-ethic that I find very refreshing," said Luggy, about his Hungarian international.

"He works for the team as much as anything else, and is not just what you would call an out-and-out winger, which is very pleasing.

"At Cardiff on Tuesday, Petér was indifferent to the form he has recently shown. Wingers will always be like that. They are hot, cold and indifferent. He was cold last week, but this week he was warm.

"He put in two free-kicks that we scored from and he rolled in Sylvan as well. Sylvan took it very, very well and I was glad to get that third goal."

Luggy also had words of praise for all three of the strikers he used, starters Sylvan and Jermaine Easter, and teenage substitute Lukas Jutkiewicz, who hit a post late on.

"[Sylvan] worked very hard today and I thought the front two were tireless," said Luggy.

"It would be nice to see Easter get his just desserts with a goal or two, as well. There is a bit of work to do with him on the positional side of things but I am quite excited about him as well.

"The Handful [Jutkiewicz] came on again today and terrorized them for a bit. He hit the post and, for an 18-year-old lad, he is a big strong boy and I think he will benefit to us."

Hull went into the interval two down, but put Dean Windass on as a half-time substitute and the veteran striker scored twice in a real blood and thunder encounter.

"It was a cup-tie played in the right spirit," said Luggy. "It was end-to-end stuff; the goalies made some great saves; [there were] goal attempts from both teams.

"The boys worked very hard but I was a bit disappointed with the way we started the second half. [Hull] lifted their tempo and we could have quiet easily cost ourselves the embarrassment of being 2-0 up and losing the game

"[Windass] has experience and he was shouting at people and bossing them around. As I said, we did not react properly for the first ten minutes of the second half

"We didn't really attack the ball, we didn't pressurize the ball, and we let too many things in behind us, and we paid dear for that."

Asked who he fancied in the fourth round, Luggy said: "It is always nice to fill your coffers with money, but I have never been a lucky person with the draw.

"Hopefully, that will change. I want a decent home tie or one of the biggies at their place."
