Went along to the game tonight, and pretty much agree with what's said above. Whilst it was a PSF, and you can't take to much from a bad defeat at Tiverton, you can't get to carried away with a positive performance either.
First half thought TUFC were the better side pleasing to see an attempt to pass the ball around, rather than countless, aimless hoofball hit rather in hope, and with both Reid and Gray hitting the Plymouth woodwork the were unlucky not to get a better result from the game.
Great to see Young looking like his old self again, displaying full range of accurate passing through out, Lathrope, he actually looked fit, seems have used his summer break well, Gray looks a really good signing, Gosling looks like he's going to add something to the squad. Higgins going to be fair and reserve judgement, had some bright moments, but two poor challenges in the box, both could have been given as penalties, one was, thankfully a poor spot kick easily saved.
More positives than negatives, off the back of this, no reason why we can't be looking forward to a brighter season, but, of course time will tell.
Edit; Forgot to add, Fallon, please no, just way past his sell by date, in my humble opinion.
Only thing I disagree with is Lathorpe. he a passenger. Its as though the other players don't trust him to keep the ball so don't bother passing to him, the woodwork touched the ball more than he did, which means Youngs left doing the job of 2 in midfield. We lost a little bit when Keating and Gray went off, they were working hard occupying the defenders which gave Gosling and even Reid lots of space to play in (If only Reids final ball was any good!!).
Agree with previous post that it was good to see them try and play football instead of hoof and run being Plan A. Still need at least 3/4 new players for the squad though, and what's the point of employing a fitness "Guru" if the players take their own warm up? should that not ne his speciality?
Fallon is
crap, if that's how good you need to be to get a trial, ill take my boots and pads to Weymouth on Saturday!
