1) Jervis the captain again as Adams shuffled his acknowledged again. Looking like Bentley excepted he kept his first team on the bench. Fox appeared in an away shirt without the Ginsters logo. 4-1-2-3 the formation with Slew through the middle and Jervis and Rooney right and left respectively.
2) Argyle very casual in the first quarter. Miller, Donaldson, Fox and Smith all giving the ball away cheaply. At the other end a nasty foul on Rooney and the resultant free-kick and a couple of forward runs from Rooney and Purrington the most we looked like threatening. Jervis with a decent free-kick and Donaldson with a poor one could have produced something.
3) Halfway through the first 45 and Rooney and Slew switched positions with Rooney now through the middle. Slew produced a good cross for Smith having gone outside the full-back for the first time. Shortly after Smith was booked for his third "foul". Yetton the first player to draw a save from either keeper from the resulting free-kick. Later on Rooney and Jervis switched for Jervis to have a run in the middle slot.
4) Overall not a great first 45 in fact possibly the worst in the pre-season friendlies. Not helped by some adventurous tackling from Weymouth and a referee who wanted to be the centre of attention but missed the important challenges. The Argyle midfield just didn't seem to gel and only Songo'o, Purrington, Rooney and Dorel (who had little to do) came out of it with any credit at all. Argyle were lethargic and far too laid back.
5) Adams sent the same 11 out to start the second half. More a 4-4-2 in shape with Jervis and Donaldson the wingers. From the kick-off a mistake by Weymouth allowed Slew a shot which the keeper did well to save. Moments later and Slew again forced a save. Slew eventually with opener after a poor goal keeping error forced by Rooney. Who was Unselfish with the pass.
6) Donaldson booked for a deliberate pull back when the player was clear through. Songo'o almost immediately adjudged to have fouled a Weymouth player by heading his boot! Weymouth converted the penalty to equalise. 20 minutes into the second half Adams made the changes. Spencer and Goodwillie the front two pair with Carey in a free role. Smith and Ijaha in midfield with Threlkeld as the anchor.
7) Weymouth should have had a second when Miller produced a poor back pass. But Luke and Bulvitis saved the day. Carey, Threlkeld and Spencer began to turn on the class and a second looked imminent but there was still lethargy across the Argyle team. Sawyer in particular looked half-hearted. Smith and Bulvitis the only two to play the full 90.
8) A poor first half that didn't do much for Argyle in terms of learning. Slew and Smith will have benefited from the fitness. A dull second 45 enlivened by Slew's goal and an awful refereeing decision for their penalty.
