PAUL Mariner expressed pleasure that his Pilgrims had put behind them Tuesday night's lacklustre defeat at Queens Park Rangers as they bounced back to form with a 1-1 draw against Coventry at the Ricoh Arena.
Paul said: "After the performance on Tuesday, which really didn't have our stamp on it, I think that had our stamp on it today.
"I said to the lads that we looked like a football team today. The units were good; the spacing was good; the passing was good; our endeavour was good - everything was right about every single individual in the team.
"We were thrilled and I really felt that during the first 45 minutes, we deserved another goal. We had a couple of opportunities; Jamie [Mackie] was a constant thorn; Bradley [Wright-Phillips] did very, very well considering he's been out for such a long, long time.
"It was pretty apparent there were two teams, both trying to win the game - there was nobody shutting up shop."
Kári Árnason scored the Argyle goal in first-half injury time, heading home Damien Johnson's floated free-kick, only for Michael McIndoe to level soon after the break.
"I wish it was the 94th minute," said Paul, about the Pilgrims' goal, "but never mind.
"We have good movement from set-pieces and the service from Damien was absolutely excellent, a very difficult ball to defend; the 'keeper had decided to come out and Arnie just nipped in front of him and looped it into the net."
