Like a lot of other people on this website, I went to the Oxford game on Saturday.
Like a lot of other people on this website, I'd easily rank it as one of the very worst Argyle performances i've ever seen.
We're all acutely aware that we have a number of players within the current squad that simply are not good enough and (IMO) even those currently out injured aren't effective enough in their roles to change the outcome of enough games to stop us languishing at the bottom of L1 all season.
One position we're (again, IMO) weakest at is CB. Edwards has lost a vital few yards being out last season (to the extent that even with a significant head start, he's frequently getting beaten back to the ball which is obviously a massive issue when he isn't paired with someone quick enough to cover him). If Edwards was a safe bet outside of his lack of pace it might not be the be all and end all, but as we saw on Saturday he certainly has a mistake in him too. As for the CBs that have been brought in over the summer, I'm at a loss as to what DA was smoking when he signed every single one of them. I'd view all of them (based on what i've seen since they signed) as L2 squad players as best. I've focused on the CBs here as I believe it's the position that most needs immediate change, but i'm sure others will have similar opinions across pretty much all of the positions out there.
Do we wait until January to reinforce? based on our currently curve, January could well be too late!
We picked up Toumani D a year ago last week, do we forsee DA having one last roll of the dice and doing the same this season?
With a bigger squad this year, has DA spent all of the funds at his disposal I wonder? or is it just a case of no one being available?
Just interested to hear what other Argyle fans think on the matter.
