McCormick took a touch to control the ball but hit his shot over the bar. Luke McCormick's shot was parried by Callum Burton in the Argyle goal but straight into the path of John Marquis who could not keep his effort on target. Goalscorer Waine had a golden chance to double the Pilgrims' lead. Ryan Hardie was presented with the first chance of the tie after Plymouth had stolen the ball from Rovers in midfield. Ben Waine headed past Anssi Jaakkola after Rovers had cleared the initial Plymouth cross. The visitors from Devon took the lead on the 24th minute.

An accomplished first-half display was completed by Waine latching on to another ball over the top and unleashing a left-foot effort from 22 yards that grazed the bar. James Bolton was blocked in the six-yard box before Endacott steered a shot narrowly over. The semi-final draw takes place on Saturday afternoon. A fine Waine pass almost released Hardie three minutes after the goal but Jaakkola was quick off his line to hoof clear. A dangerous corner from Rovers was then cleared under pressure by the Argyle defence. The second goal looked inevitable and it was delivered in superb fashion.

Plymouth Argyle, Bolton Wanderers, Accrington Stanley and Cheltenham Town reach the semi-finals of the Papa Johns Trophy.

Liam Sercombe lashed home from close range before playing in Stoke loanee Will Goodwin to score on his debut. Accrington needed penalties to defeat the 2018 winners Lincoln. Skipper Tom Hopper put the Imps ahead after charging down a kick from keeper Lukas Jensen, but Pressley levelled before the break and completed the turnaround from the spot with 17 minutes remaining after a foul on Shaun Whalley.

Bristol Rovers could be presented with an opportunity to sign a reported transfer target from last summer.

At Stockport, Brown played 22 games across all competitions, and had been their starting right-back for a period but was in and out of the side.

Sam Finley says there is no reason why Bristol Rovers should not believe in their promotion credentials, particularly with the attacking weapons Joey Barton ...

It is great for Bristol Rovers to be thinking Sheffield Wednesday can come to the Mem and we’re confident we can turn them over, it’s brilliant for the football club." It would be a brilliant feat for the football club." "We’ve played everyone now so we’ve seen what the league has to offer and it is good confidence for us. You’re always checking and looking around, but the next game is the most important for me. With the firepower we’ve got, we know if we keep a clean sheet we are going to win the game because we know with the quality we’ve got we’re going to score goals. Confidence is soaring amongst Joey Barton's squad because they believe there are enough goals in the team to win any game.

Bristol Rovers used one substitution out of a possible five against Plymouth. Harvey Saunders came off the bench.

It’s a simple ball down the side and we have got to be better. We didn’t stop the first or the second cross and the ball gets looped up in the air. The match was fairly even with both sides having 50% possession with Rovers shading it by just ten more passes. We still felt the lads who came into the team by far were good enough to get the result and job done tonight. [Joey Barton](/topic/joey-barton) has not been afraid to make substitutions, especially at half-time when things aren’t going in their favour. The Gas first-team coach revealed that some of the substitutes had been carrying knocks and were not risked.
