WHILE Argyle supporters are scanning the bottom end of the table to see where points can be taken prisoner for their bid to avoid relegation, manager Paul Sturrock is looking only upwards.
Saturday's home draw with Reading came in a sequence of results that has seen the Pilgrims win at leaders Wolves and take a point off top-four Sheffield United.
"We've played a form team in Sheffield United, who are fourth, and we have now played third-top - give me them again," said Luggy, after Saturday's 2-2 draw at Home Park with promotion fancies Reading.
"Our problems are those teams around our end - we have not competed with them formwise in any of these games, hence where we are.
"We are not out of the mire by a long shot - we need several wins before we're set.
"The important thing is to take points off Blackpool and Norwich, and Doncaster and Barnsley, when they come.
"That's the key to it all now. We have not done very well against the other teams in our area in the league.
"The exasperating thing was we were fifth and we allowed 15 games to take us down to where we are now. Everybody thought we were going to go to Doncaster, Blackpool and Barnsley and win games.
"All of a sudden, we are now turning in wins and building confidence. The boys have responded properly and have given us everything they have today and I'm hopeful now we will kick-on.
"We've now put six points between us and third bottom, which means it's really three wins that somebody needs more than us. If we can add to that over the next two games, it will relieve a lot of the pressure."
Luggy was in agreement with most of the 14,000+ Home Park crowd about the strike from Jamie Mackie on the hour that gave Argyle a 2-1 lead they kept until the final ten minutes.
He said: "His goal was the best I have seen here all year - right in the top corner and he struck it really quick.
"Jamie's got that in his locker. He's hit bars and posts, so it's nice to see the ball lying in the back of the net for a change.
"He's finding his feet. He has things in his game that are so exciting to watch but he also has a defensive side that he is trying hard to improve.
"I would like to kick-start his goal-scoring and I would like [Ashley] Barnes to get one as well because I think he could push on if he got his first goal.
"Ashley had a rude awakening today. He appreciated that he's not going to be able to bully everybody and today he got kind of slapped about for a wee while."
