Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl was proud of how side responded to Plymouth’s fast start as they eventually took control to record a 3-0 away win in the Championship.
Relegation-battling Argyle creates a number of chances in the first five minutes but Nathanael Ogbeta’s 15th-minute own goal gave Wednesday a lead they never looked like relinquishing.
Further goals from Callum Paterson and Djeidi Gassama ensured the Owls ended their three-match losing run in style.
Rohl said: “Except for the first five six minutes we dominated the game.
“The first five or six minutes they played very direct, we got through that and then we got the goal.
“There were a lot of second balls, 50-50 balls, duels we had to win, and we also had long balls to deal with.
“The back four and back five did a good job today.
“I think in the end we could have scored four or five goals.
“All-in-all I am very pleased, three points, three goals and a clean sheet.
“We are on 48 points now I think that is a good situation.
“It’s important now to keep the momentum going. Momentum is important.”
Plymouth’s loss was their third of the week following their FA Cup exit at Manchester City last weekend and a damaging defeat to relegation rivals Hull in midweek.
And head coach Miron Muslic knows things need to change quickly for the Championship’s bottom club with games to come in the next week away to 17th-placed Portsmouth and at home to Derby, who sit 22nd.
He said: “I think we started well. In the first 10 to 12 minutes we showed desire, showing Home Park we are ready to fight and attack.
“I think we created goalscoring opportunities, but we didn’t take them.
“The first defensive action we had resulted in a goal for them and that changed the game.
“Then you felt the pressure is on and we collapsed because pressure can do a lot of damage and it was unbelievably difficult for us because the momentum suddenly changed.
“Simply too many players are feeling this pressure at the moment.
“I am taking responsibility for this performance today.
“Next Wednesday (at Portsmouth) and next Saturday (home to Derby) nobody is believing in us so I think that takes a little bit of pressure off us.
“When we played Brentford, Liverpool and Man City (in the FA Cup) there was no pressure.
“We have to get up and try again.”
