The Plymouth Herald has today run a story suggesting that Plymouth Manager Peter Reid's top priority is to sign a new striker - as goalscoring has been a problem for the club in recent seasons. Remember, that's Rory's job.
On top of that it's reported that Reid needs to lose a few players to reduce an unhealthy wage bill, going on to say that "Fallon's future is far from certain, especially after his substitution in the first half of the Pilgrims' 1-1 draw with Carlisle United at Home Park on Saturday." Fallon was a record signing for Plymouth when he first arrived and is presumably paid one of the club's most expensive salaries. I am not certain when his contract is up but I believe it's for at least this season.
Meanwhile, Fallon's reserve team appearance doesn't sound like it has made life any easier for the big man. They got humped 4 nil. He got 90 minutes. Let's hope he's better for the time on the pitch.
I'm seriously worried about Rory's position at Plymouth. The fans are right on his back and he's not doing enough to justify his place in the side. I can't see Reid ignoring the fans for too long if Fallon doesn't start scoring. Maybe he would have been better taking a summer move on the back of the world cup, although with the window open there is still time for a transfer
