PAUL Sturrock is determined that Argyle's fine performance in their 3-1 FA Cup third-round defeat at Arsenal should be the springboard for Championship success.

Argyle get back to league business with a home game against in-form Crystal palace on Saturday and Luggy said: "We have played one of the top ten teams in the world today and your game-plan is slightly different than when you play in the Championship, but I have got to turn that into our league form.

"The important thing for us now is to get some results in the league. That is the key.

"Our mental approach to the game today was fantastic. In a couple of league games recently, it's been disappointing, as far as I am concerned.

"If we can start taking the chances we have created, we are going to start winning football matches.

"We had a great run for 14 games, and now we're in a slump. We're at a crossroads, looking over our shoulder and still with our hand slightly on the cherry of the play-offs.

"We have got to come together as a squad and I think today helped that. There was unity and shape about us - everybody knew their job."

Part of the on-going process will involve playing the transfer-market. Luggy has already signed Manchester United utility man David Gray, who debuted impressively at the Emirates, and more could follow.

"We are going to have to start moving players on," he said. "There are some players on the periphery now and they want to be playing, so I have got to try to move some of the players out.

"At the same time, I want to bring players like Gray in, that kind of standard, to enable us to kick on."
