MUSTAPHA Bundu has declared that Plymouth Argyle's players 'are going to give everything' over the final eight games of the Championship campaign in an attempt to stay up.
It is not looking good for the bot-tom-of-the-table Pilgrims after they lost 3-2 to relegation rivals Derby County at Home Park on Saturday, when they battled back from a 2-0 deficit to draw level at 2-2 only to concede a third goal in the 88th minute.
Bundu started the Pilgrims' fight-back when he scored with a superb free-kick late in the first half for his seventh goal of the season, after he was also on target in the 2-1 win away to Portsmouth on Wednesday night.
An own goal from Derby defender Nat Phillips at the start of the second half had Argyle back on level terms but they could not go on to pick up what would have been three massive points for them and, instead, ended up being beaten.
Bundu said: "Everyone is working hard and putting in a shift but it's not really going our way at the moment. That's how it is, it's football.
"There is eight games to go and there is a lot of points to pick up from that. I know we have got some big teams, some good teams to play against but football is football, you never know.
