Last Pre-Season fixture today at Weston-Super-Mare..

Today sees the final Pre-Seaon freindly at Weston-Super-Mare - 3pm KO and £10 to get in..

I would hope that JS plays the team he intends to play at Cambridge United too, none of this swapping the team around at HT.

Should be a few of the green army there no doubt enjoying the delights Weston-Super-Mare has to offer.

I will go for a victory to Argyle - 3-1..



.

Shez hasn't done the whole swapping the team at HT business since Weymouth I don't think. He made quite a few changes in the Torquay game, but he only had 6 substitutes on the bench for Swansea and Yeovil. Although I do expect him to give some of the senior starters a bit of rest today.

James Bittner, Jake Miller, Curtis Nelson, Carl McHugh, Ben Purrington, River Allen, Tyler Harvey, Ollie Norburn, Nathan Thomas, Marvin Morgan, Reuben Reid.

Reckon we'll tear 'em a new one...........Weston 0 - 1 Argyle / Reid 91st min penalty  

Miller, not Mellor. Interesting line-up with an odd mix of extant first teamers and youth. Intrigued to know who will play the wing opposite to Thomas, whether it's Marv in a 4-5-1 or one of the 3 midfielders pushed wide for a 4-4-2?

Bittner in goal, Jake Miller    Weston Super 2 Argyle 1

No fear, fitness, tactics and confidence will be at their peak this time next week when we boat race the mighty Cambridge.

1 nil up 30 sec Reid

2-0, Morgan.

2-0 now, Morgan...

Strikers peaking at just the right time....  

Yay!

1-2.

Boo, Brent out!

For something completely different, i was watching Arsenal Vs Benfica on BT Sports 1 HD.

HT 4-0 to Arsenal [Sanogo 28 mins + 43 mins + 45 mins, Campbell 40 mins].

FT 5-1 to Arsenal, Sanago has scores four. Terrible defending for the Benfica goal.

Entertaining game for sure..


So Argyle win 2-1.

Glad Reid and Marvin scored, a much tougher test awaits at Cambridge United a week today.


In the all Devon Pre-Season friendly , it ended

Exeter  0-2 Torquay

that man again writes -  ''May I make claim to the first 'Tisdale out' call for the new season''.

''In all seriousness this is a very worrying result, friendly or not. I just cannot see where the goals are going to come from. Still, from a purely selfish point of view, such results makes my non-renewal of the season ticket look shrewder by the day''.

“If anyone is performing well I will put them in, it doesn’t matter who it is. I’m not frightened of doing that.”

Who's he slagging off here?

Saying some players are not quite stepping up to the mark....is not slagging them off.....just reminding them that they have to pull all the stops out if they want regular first team football.

Seemed like a public bollocking to me! He expects to see more desire from players he considered starters/fringe players, and will keep them out until they start showing something.

His handling of Luke Young shows he takes exception to soft attitudes.
