Foster hails perfect Pilgrims success

The Pilgrims headed north on the back of a run of four games without a win, but goals from Matthew Sorinola and Ryan Hardie helped secure only their second away win of the season.

Foster, who took over at the start of the year, said: “The boys were outstanding to a man and it was probably the perfect away performance. We had a strategy, a game plan and the players implemented it brilliantly. I’m disappointed it was only two at half-time and the second half was terrific in terms of our tactical discipline and transition, the building up.”

He added: “In terms of a new coach coming in and the games we have had, the players have done everyone proud.”
