A NEW Green triumvirate has emerged to spark attacking life into the Argyle team.
Jamie Mackie, as always, is a constant thorn, but the development of Yala Bolasie and the return to fitness of Bradley Wright-Phillips has given head coach Paul Mariner a new dimension to his side.
It was a trio that Ipswich Town simply failed to cope with in Argyle's 2-0 win at Portman Road, and even substitute Joe Mason got in on the fun to seal a victory set up by Wright-Phillips' opener.
"We have an outlet out wide in Yala and two lads up front who worked tirelessly," said Mariner. "You've got to consider that Brad is only just coming back from a serious injury and he's working his socks off for the team.
"Every single team wants pace and hold-up play up front, and we're no different. We have brought something different to the front-line and Yala has somewhat of a free role out on the left, but he has got to get back in.
"They are working as a pair up there, Jamie and Brad, and when Brad got tired, Joe came on and did exactly the same thing. He got the goal and I'm delighted for him - a Plymouth lad getting the goal to seal the victory for us.
"He [Mason] has come from nowhere but, working with him every day, we know what we've got. He has unbelievable pace and is probably the best finisher in the club.
"When he gets in, he very rarely misses. He's young and has a lot to learn, but when you have a weapon like that on the bench, there is no drop-off, which is extremely important.
"We've injected some pace into the line-up with Bolasie on the left-hand side of midfield. You can see what he brings to the table with his pace and trickery, and he is a joy to watch.
"When you also get the combination of Mackie and Bradley up front, with their work-rate, it enables the others to step up and keep pressing the ball in the attacking half."
