Get well & back up home asap Nicky, went sick listening to this unfold on the radio yesterday - even more so when it was reported that the Argyle fans were heard to be booing another of our lads who was injured & chanting cheat at him - if any of those animals are interested that player left Plymouth on crutches. Our two games against Argyle this season have provided controversy for different reasons - banter is one thing but the behaviour of those so-called football fans is unbelievable

Just to clarify - he was being called a cheat as he was injured OFF the pitch and came back onto the pitch to lay down and waste time - something Accrington were brilliant at from the first minute.

Sorry, I forgot to add - I hope Nicky Hunt makes a quick recovery. I feared the worst when I saw him go down.

Thank you for the concern about Nicky Hunt but I think maybe some Argyle fans have short memories & can't remember the disgraceful, deliberate actions of Chadwick in the reverse fixture which resulted in our keeper being sent off - I'm not condoning our lads IF they did a bit of time wasting but methinks it's maybe a case of the pot calling the kettle.
I think our lads did well to carry on with this game not knowing how Nicky was & what was happening so maybe
they may have slowed the game down a little so as not to make mistakes when their heads were all over the place, it's not something our players usually do although quite a few teams have done it to us
