Strange that Argyle hadn't arranged a Saturday friendly yesterday ? Quite a few comments elsewhere that our pre-season friendlies are becoming very low key and opponents very poor.....without any quality opposition for most of them.....noticeable year by year that the games are becoming more unsatisfying............and not to have one on a pre-season Saturday in favour of an in-house friendly seems strange,
I don’t know when it was scheduled for but the next game after Truro was to be an in-house. 11 v 11 game. The idea was to allow two full teams to step up to playing minutes.
Needs to be more competitive at this time of pre-season......you can have an in-house 11x11 anytime.........you need desperately to be sorting out your strongest eleven.....and at least introducing them to each other.....so may changes and permutations to sort through and with a new manager and playing systems to learn. The Bristol C game is rather late to find out your not up to speed.......so few friendlies.
Womens Football.......if you can't beat em....then join them. I see London City Lionesses have signed a goalkeeper called Sophia POOR.........you couldn't make it up could you.
Argyle are being linked with 24 year old Jamaican international striker Rumarn Burrell (4 games, 1 goal), currently at Burton Albion (30 games, 11 goals).
That'll be three strikers with no proven scoring record on the books......just need some success from at least one of them if not two.
Michael Cooper was omitted for the second friendly running......causing some anxiety at Sheff U that he might be leaving.....there have been whispers all summer of a possible move to Everton....other clubs have been mentioned as well. Would a move trigger a pay-out for Argyle ?
INCOMING Signed a one year contract. 24yr old...6ft 3in tall and been on loan continually to many clubs from Fulham since 2019 ? Represented England at every level from U15 to U20. Will probably start against Torquay tonight....because Hazard is not available yet.
