“I looked at the team tonight and the balance was all over the place, it just wasn’t right,” Moore said.

“We can’t allow a repeat keep happening. Today was a bridge too far in terms of the players at our disposal. The bigger concern for me is getting a couple of players back and making sure we keep them back. That has to be the procedure now.

“The games are coming thick and fast, every third or fourth day we’re playing. We have to keep this squad of players on the pitch.

“I’m hopeful over the next couple of weeks we’ll get one or two back to add to it and give us more options.”

Jaden Brown, Barry Bannan and Joe Wildsmith all made errors in the lead-up to Plymouth’s goals.

“That’s the most disappointing thing, we’ve lost 3-0 to three clear errors,” Moore said.

“At the same time, the balance just wasn’t right. It was three mistakes. I just want two or three players back so we can freshen things up.

“I told the players it wasn’t good enough. To lose with those mistakes, it’s bitterly disappointing.”
