Oh I do love to be beside the seaside.......Oh hang on we are. We have new giant defenders and a new striker who scores goals apparently. What could possibly go wrong this time. Nothing is the answer. COYG
Two new defenders.....one not up to speed at the moment. Also a No9.....but is he available for tomorrow.....was he signed in time...? PS.....Subject to EFL approval.
Ashby-Hammond...Szucs...Mitchell...Galloway...Benarous...Boateng...Ibrahim...Amaechi...Watts...Mumba...Tolaj. Subs Baker...Wiredu...Edwards...Pepple...Sorinola...Hatch...Finn. No Oseni or Roberts....and Ross not seen as available I assume because of no pre-season. Palsson leaving for Denmark.
1-0.....F/T Boateng...(48mins) 3 POINTS at last......and a clean sheet. Up to an amazing 19th place.....going to get a nose bleed soon.
This has been coming and Argyle were the better side although there were nervous moments of course. There were far fewer misplaced passes and they’re beginning to look like a team rather than 11 strangers. We actually had the ball in the net twice: the ref was too quick to award Argyle a deserved foul close to the Lyndhurst/Demport corner flag but in the seconds before he did, Argyle had crossed it and milliseconds after he blew, scored. To be fair to the ref, it was a nailed-on foul and the crowd were baying for it. He gave the right decision but if he’d just waited a second….. Toraj worked hard, is mobile and looks pretty quick. He only got one clear chance which was a rather difficult diving header which the keeper saved. Early days but promising. Galloway went off towards the end…. Not another injury please….. For me, Boateng was MotM by some distance despite good performances by a number of others - and that would be without having scored the only goal - not often you can say that! Onward and upward….
Oseni was out doing running exercises with one of the coaching staff before the game. I suspect that’s because he has a minor injury problem - perhaps a tight calf or something. He certainly looked pretty quick to me so it can’t be serious!
