Barnet 1 Plymouth Argyle 4: match report "There were some great spells, but not a lot of them," he said. They can still play. There are some young Academy talents, and it's important to develop their progress. The Davids era could scarcely have got off to a worse start. Plymouth led after two minutes. Mark Byrne slid in for a challenge on Luke Young and appeared to get a piece of the ball, only for referee Fred Graham to point to the spot. "It was clearly, 200 per cent, a block of the ball," Davids said, making his first flirtation with the FA disciplinary panel. There was no foul at all. One became two after 11 minutes, Alex McDonald's corner easily headed in by Maxime Blanchard at the near post. But within five minutes, Barnet had pulled one back. Guy Madjo cleared Clovis Kamdjo's original shot off the line, but his block went straight to Dave Stephens, who drilled the ball home from 12 yards. Paris Cowan-Hall's header made it 3-1, while Young's superb late free-kick gave the scoreline a deserved gloss. Barnet were awful, unable either to keep possession or find any penetration with the long ball. In fact, the longer the match went on, the more the ideal solution presented itself. Barnet need someone who can pass the ball. Who better than Davids himself? The man himself remains confident of his ability, even at the age of 39. Though he has been out of the game for two years, the demands of League Two should not really tax him, and he is planning a playing comeback within the next fortnight. "I have only had one practice session, so I have to do a couple more, and I will see what my status is," he said.
