Que sera, sera. What an occasion, but the FA Cup dream was ended by a side whose short-lived Premiership experience ultimately told. The big match seemed to overwhelm both sides during the opening exchanges, until Watford took the lead from a poorly marked corner. With shades of 84 clear in the memory of so many in the swelled ranks of the Green Army, today's Pilgrims followed in the footsteps of their predecessors, dominating the rest of the match. Determination, spirit and endeavour were in abundance, but Lady Luck had not heeded Ollie's request to wear green. In a cup run of omens, history was to repeat itself. Argyle may be out, but they exit the cup with heads held high.
