Plymouth boss Ian Foster admitted his disappointment following a last minute Coventry leveller deep in stoppage time for a 2-2 Championship draw.Foster said: “We never get too excited when we win or too disappointed when we lose. Tonight is a difficult one. It feels like a defeat, it’s another point closer to where we want to be.”
Liam Kitching converted Victor Torp’s free kick to break Argyle hearts.
Morgan Whittaker – with his 17th Championship goal of the season - and Mikel Miller scored for Plymouth with Ellis Simms cancelling out Whittaker’s opener.
Foster added: “I think you are always in danger to become too emotional particularly after the game.
“We are disappointed in the manner of the (last) goal, and not to come away with all three points.
“Taking the emotion out of the game we are quite pleased with how we played.
“We are desperately disappointed over the course of the 97 minutes but we have got to be pleased with how brave we were and how we performed against a top team in the division.
“We will review the game. We are never going to have the perfect game so we review every game.
“It was difficult, when you are planning the team for tonight, you have Saturday – and Leeds – in mind, and it’s the same when you are making substitutions.
“It was nice to get Jordan (Houghton) back on the field and Julio (Pleguezuelo) always does well for us.
“We found out again if you make mistakes in this division you get punished.
“We can take heart from taking a point from a top team, looking for promotion to the Premier League.”
