Fallon Struggles in Plymouth Defeat

Rory Fallon was substituted after a poor 75 minutes in Plymouth's League Cup defeat to newly promoted Notts County at home on Monday. After sticking with the League 1 club after the World Cup, Fallon has started both competitive fixtures this season but Monday's effort did not match Saturday's televised performance in the South Coast derby with Southampton where he contributed to the only goal of the game with a back post knock down (see here).

Fallon retains the manager's confidence but could do with some eye catching performances, and goals, to get the home fans back on side who are still not entirely convinced of Rory's ability. Fallon was reportedly jeered as he left the pitch and it will be interesting to see whether he is selected for Plymouth's next match, which is at home to Carlisle on Saturday.
