Wanderers had to settle for a point despite a positive performance against League One leaders Plymouth at the UniBol.

Elias Kachunga went closest to breaking the deadlock after combining with Owen Beck, but his effort struck the post.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson also went close but Plymouth goalkeeper Michael Cooper made an important stop from close range.

Aimson shines against old club

Will Aimson has had to be patient for opportunities this season but has certainly made the most of his recent run in the side.

The centre-back again impressed against his former side, making a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Ben Waine during the second half.

He has played an important role at the heart of defence in recent weeks, while George Johnston and Eoin Toal also continue to deliver.

Wanderers have now conceded just once in their last five matches despite being without skipper Ricardo Santos.

Midfield partnership

Aaron Morley seems to have rediscovered his best form following a spell out of the side earlier this season.

The young midfielder caused the Pilgrims plenty of problems with his delivery both from open play and set-pieces.

Kyle Dempsey also looked lively in the middle of the pitch as he continues to build up sharpness following a month on the sidelines.

The pair seem to be building an exciting partnership, which could be key for Wanderers while George Thomason is out of action.

First start for Williams

New signing Randell Williams was thrown straight in at the deep end, with Jack Iredale facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

The former Hull City man hasn’t had much playing time over the past few months but managed 75 minutes before he was replaced by Beck.

Williams showed glimpses of what Evatt hopes he will bring to the side over the coming weeks and months against the Pilgrims.

His long throw also looks like it could be a useful weapon for the Whites as they aim to keep climbing the table.

Encouraging signs

Despite failing to secure all three points, Wanderers can take plenty of encouragement from their performance against the league leaders.

Plymouth had won their last four matches but seemed content to hold on for a draw against the Whites.

The fixtures continue to come thick and fast, with a double header against Portsmouth coming up this week.

But recent performances have proved that Wanderers have nothing to fear against the top sides in the division as they aim to keep moving in the right direction.
