MANAGERLESS Plymouth Argyle retained their Championship status thanks a narrow win over play-off chasing Hull to the delight of first-team head coach Kevin Nancekivell.
Skipper Joe Edwards’ 40th-minute header proved to be the match-winner and Nancekivell said: “It was stressful and was always going to be the case, but the lads were brilliant. It was one of our best performances for a while – and under intense pressure.
“We wanted to be brave, we wanted to be on the ball and we achieved both. I am delighted we are staying up.
“Joe’s done terrifically well, but the whole squad has. It’s been a long season 46 games and we’ve come up and not been in the bottom three. That’s testament to the squad, every one of them. We needed a big performance and we got one. The lads were terrific.
“Our organistaion when we had to defend was superb. I am no different to any Argyle fan because I am one. I’m really emotional, really proud.”
