DUTCH defender Marcel Seip believes Argyle can repeat last season's 2-1 victory at Bristol City when they visit Ashton Gate tonight.
The Pilgrim are currently on a three-match winning streak that has taken them from the foot of the Championship table to within a point of the play-offs.
There have been a huge amount of personnel changes at Home Park in the last six months but Seip, one of the few survivors from the win back in March, feels the current squad are beginning to look a more settled unit.
"We have gone from the bottom three to near the play-offs," he said.
"You get three wins and everybody is happy again. The confidence is high and we know what we can achieve if we work hard for each other.
"It takes time with new players. Everyone is settled now and the bonding as a team is there. We are a proper team now and you can see it in the results.
"People go, people come in, and we have had a few people leave in the last year. Different players come in and you adapt to that, and you deal with the team we have got now.
"I remember we won 2-1 up there and I think they were top of the league, so everyone was up for it, and it was a derby.
"It was a good win for us and I hope we can achieve the same as what we did last year."
Seip will be joined in that hope by over 1,500 members of the Green Army making the relatively short trek up the M5.
The Dutchman has been with Argyle for just over two hours now and yet the wonderful support offered by our traveling fans continues to amaze him.
"It is two hours away but it is as close as we get," he said. "The atmosphere is a little different because we get a lot of people up there, so you want to do something for the fans, perform well and give them a good game.
"Our away fans are brilliant. Bristol is only two hours away but then you see them turning up in London. I can't see many other fans traveling four or five hours but our fans are always there.
"It should be a good atmosphere and we want to do well for them."
However, the obstacle standing in the way of a fourth successive victory for the Greens is an ominous one, with Bristol City looking to go one better than their superb run to the play-off final last term.
Despite a slightly inconsistent start this season, the Robins are still occupying sixth place and Seip is full of admiration for the quality of football they play.
He said: "It is a different game. They did well [last season] and you can see they will do well again this season. They basically have the same players and it is going to be a battle.
"We have only played eight games and it is very early to say [how Bristol City will do]. It is so tight and you can see where we were three games ago, and now we are one point away from the play-offs.
"They have got a good team. They have not made too many changes and they play good football. When we played them at home last year, they played brilliant football."
The immediate threat for Seip and his fellow defenders is likely to be City's mountainous striker Dele Adebola.
"I don't like playing against big strikers to be honest," said Seip. "I prefer the smaller, tricky ones but you have to deal with it.
"In this division, every striker is big and Adebola is one of the biggest, but we just have to deal with his threat."
