'Embarrassed' Edwards says Argyle will improve

Joe Edwards made his 250th Plymouth Argyle appearance in the loss at Exeter City

Plymouth Argyle captain Joe Edwards says he is "embarrassed" by his side's 2-0 loss at Devon rivals Exeter City.

The Pilgrims created few chances and were outplayed by their local rivals as they lost to Exeter for the first time in six years.

"It's not good enough. Embarrassed," Edwards said when asked by BBC Radio Devon for his reaction to the defeat.

"We know how much this means to the club, to the city, to us, to me.

"It's not a feeling that you ever want, but we've got it and said we've got to be the ones who turn this around because we owe them that now, the fans.

"They support us continually and today we haven't been good enough."

The loss leaves Argyle in the relegation places in League One, having registered just four victories from 13 EFL games this season.

Plymouth's struggles come after they were relegated from the Championship in May - a year after Edwards scored the crucial goal that kept Argyle in the second tier for another season.

"I've been here many years now and I haven't had many days like this, there's been one or two, but the one thing I can say about this club is we react and we respond and that's down to us now to do that," he added.

"I've lost here before and it's something you remember probably more than the wins just because it hurts that much.

"I don't want to feel this feeling again this season, so we need to be the ones who turn this around and put in the performance to show that we're still fighting, we still care."
