Nancekivell and director of football Neil Dewsnip took over temporary charge for a second spell this season and unlike the previous occaArgyle sion, picked up a win - and a much-needed one at that.

Bali Mumba was picked to play at left wing-back as the Pilgrims reverted to a 3-4-2-1 formation and he came up with the only goal of the game in the 32nd minute when he fired home after being picked out by a diagonal ball from Morgan Whittaker.

Nancekivell said: "It has been a tough week, a traumatic week for everybody at the football club so to come and get three points is massive for us, so really delighted.
