Relegation just got even more niggly for Rory Fallon. While the Premier League and Championship competitions - in which All Whites Ryan Nelsen, Chris Wood, Winston Reid and Tommy Smith are involved - both observe Fifa's international windows, there will be no such break for Rory Fallon's League 1 Plymouth Argyle. The obvious reason being that not so many international footballers ply their trade in English football's third tier (although there are more than you might expect).
So, on October 9, when the All Whites step out against Honduras at North Harbour stadium the Pilgrims will be getting set to host Charlton Athletic (also set for October 9). Given Fallon has lost the confidence of many Plymouth fans after a lack of goals and seems set for a tough battle trying to hold onto a starting position (after being subbed in the 37th minute last week) this club versus country clash isn't going to be particularly welcome.
While Fallon should be able to get back for the following fixture against Nott County (16 October), it is quite likely he will be overlooked for a start given the travel involved in getting back to the UK after the Paraguay fixture in Wellington on the 12th (a problem he will share with other British-based All Whites).
