Watford (A) | Gibson's Preview

The magnitude of Argyle’s perfect first week of the season has not been lost on defender Lewis Gibson.

The centre-back made his competitive Argyle debut in Saturday’s 3-1 Sky Bet Championship win over Huddersfield Town, then watched from the bench as his team-mates defeated Leyton Orient 2-0 to progress to the second round of the Carabao Cup.

“We couldn't ask for much more with the two results,” said Lewis. “Saturday was a nice one to get going with, against Huddersfield at home. It was the first one back at Home Park and then we carried that momentum into Tuesday.

“I was delighted, especially with the result. The fans were bouncing, they made it quite special for the first game in the Championship for 13 years. It was a really special occasion; to get the win for the fans and to get that momentum going was really important.”

That momentum, we hope, will be taken into an away trip to Watford this Saturday. The Green Army have sold out the away end at Vicarage Road, as the Pilgrims head to Hertfordshire looking to extend the winning start to the season to three-in-three.

It will be a difficult task. The Hornets won 4-0 at home to Queens Park Rangers on the opening day, with all four goals scored in the first period, and will have their eyes on promotion to the Premier League this season.

The game, though, holds no fear for Gibson, who says Argyle are determined to head to Watford with a positive outlook.

“It'll be a tough game but we’re eager to get going,” he said. “We're in the Championship now, so there's no easy games. I can't wait to get going.

“I think we'll both be on the front foot, be aggressive. We're not going to give teams too much respect; we're going to go after teams and hopefully we’ll get the win.

“The videos come through, and you try and have a look at who you come up against, to see what to expect, to give you a little bit of a step up on what's coming next.

“You've got to believe in your own ability to go out there and perform.”
