PLYMOUTH boss Ryan Lowe says his side were “different class” in their 3-0 win against Wanderers at Home Park.

Brendan Galloway, Conor Grant and Ryan Broom were all on target as the Whites suffered their third successive defeat.

The result sees Lowe’s men maintain their place at the top of the league table, having lost just one of their 14 matches so far.

And the Plymouth boss was pleased with how his side adapted to the tough conditions at Home Park.

“It was a fantastic win,” he said. “I thought the lads were different class, especially in the first half. We wanted to get at them and we did that, got an early two-goal lead.

“Second half was always going to be difficult wasn’t it? We still wanted to play but the conditions worsened. I said to the lads, ‘it’s not the right conditions for the way we want to play, we’ll have to adapt’.

“Give Bolton their due - they came out second half, nothing to lose and had a little bit of a go. But we were well worthy of the goals and really I was disappointed we didn’t score more.

“Getting those two early goals flattens them when they’ve just come off the back of a loss.

“The third goal was crazy wasn’t it? I was hoping Danny (Mayor) would score to give him a little boost of confidence, then Ryan (Hardie) to get him back on the scoresheet, and then Broomy’s there to rifle it in.

“That finished it off, because there were only a few more seconds to go. Credit to the ground staff for the work they put in before the game because that’s why we were able to finish.”

The result leaves Wanderers in 11th place, having taken 18 points from their opening 14 matches back in the third tier.

Ian Evatt’s men are back in action on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Gillingham to the UniBol (KO 3pm).
