Oh and Luke Jephcott scored tonight.

[tonycrowuk]

I belive Jephcott is a very good player given the right service. But we don't play to his strengths. He's not tall enough to be a nuisance like Cosgrove and lacks pace to be a Hardie. However he will score goals given the right situation. I see him more as a poacher. Good luck to him but can't see him playing in this current squad.

Tbh It's a real credit that we have such great forwards to choose from as it wasn't that long ago he was a regular starter alongside Hardie.

Jephcott missed a last minute penalty but must have scored on the rebound

[I Was There]

He’s got four goals for Swindon now, all from inside the penalty box, pretty much like most of the goals he scored for Argyle.

 

[gaspargomez]

He‘s young and a proven goalscorer. Why on Earth are Argyle letting him leave the club for free?

Are we? I thought he was on loan.

 

[Tugboat]

He‘s young and a proven goalscorer. Why on Earth are Argyle letting him leave the club for free?

Will he fit in here if we bring him back? Probably not

Will he sign a contract extension with us for us to then sell for a fee? Probably not

Is it in Luke’s interest to find regular football? Most certainly

Will the club stand in his way of doing this? I hope not

Who says they are?

We are not, there is an agreement in place for a fee to be paid in summer

 

[Rush Goalie]

Good for Jephers.

Let’s not forget that 3 of our 5 goal scorers don’t belong to us. Any one of them could go back in January and if not, it seems unlikely we’ll get to sign any of them in the summer.

It sounds probable that Jephcott will move on but who knows? He remains an Argyle player, so perhaps there is a route back for him. He’s only 22, so we still hold the cards contractually.

Good luck to him, whatever. Seems like a good kid.

 

[Dorset Green]

He's a good goal poacher and a reasonable all rounder but lacks the necessary pace, physical strength and general sharpness for top-end league one or above. There's a lot of footballing career left ahead of him and he will do well at another club but not at Argyle.

 

[Monster Green]

He doesn't suit our style, simple as that. It is a shame, he is a modern Tynan-esque type player and I do rate him, but football moves on and he hasn't moved on with the new Argyle

 

[JannerinCardiff]

Unfortunately can’t see Jephcott coming back. If he is not good enough for Swindon he is unlikely to be good enough in our current set up. On the other hand if he continues to impress for Swindon they will sign him.

Not good enough for Swindon ??

So far on loan at Swindon Luke has averaged a goal every 154 minutes.
Were he to play a full season that would equate to just under 27 goals in a season.

He also has 1 assist.

He is currently Swindon’s joint top goalscorer having played just over half the games of their other forward players.

I think he’s doing very well at Swindon myself.

I personally think Luke does have enough strength. Apart from being a natural goalscorer, holding the ball up and bringing others into play is one of the good parts to his game I’d say.

 

[Garland Greene]

Goals aside, in my eyes Cosgrove is showing that his physical attributes are an advantage for us over Jephers.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Jephcott is a casualty of the formation change.
He was tried out as a number 10 in the pre-season friendly games and it didn't work out.

He's a good striker in a front pairing but even then he was asked to drop deep last season and link the play.

Ennis has showed his versatility by playing as a lone striker and as a number 10.

It's a real shame for Jephcott.
