Just over 3 weeks until season starts, and obviously the later it gets the more difficult it gets to get players into the team structure and ensure match fitness...do we now assume that our first choices (and maybe 2nd or 3rd) have not been successful? Looking at the squad we do seem quite light and you don't have to go very deep until we are into the younger players.
maybe just been spoiled by the initial burst of signings
It's behind close doors but i thought someone earlier said it will be shown on IFollowAssuming Galloway proves his fitness that will be another one hopefully.
Argyle said they were moving away from developing other clubs youngsters but l think if one real talent is available Argyle will go for it.
So if that’s the case it’s mature players that won’t be in other clubs squads. Like Hardie. Well you won’t get any movement on loans until they have brought in the players they want.
I’d be surprised if there was no more permanent signings other than Galloway.
Bristol Rovers match is behind closed doors on Saturday so maybe a chance for a trialist or two.

I would have thought about 5 players still need to come in.
Conor Grant plays there. Also Galloway I believe can cover. With GC back at some point I think Lowe will say we're covered, so would be surprised if we signed another one.Unless I am confused about one of the signings, we only have Law at left wingback.Cooper is nowhere near ready and not really a wingback.
As well as being able to get up and down the wing at speed, one of the main jobs of a wing-back is to supply crosses into the box or passes into the forward line.So what is a wingback? I heard Martin Keown say on the box that the one thing they’re not is a full back. What they are wingers or wide midfield players. Don’t expect a wingback to be an accomplished defender.

However, a wing-back must also possess defensive attributes, such as good tacklingability and sound positional awareness - knowing when to drop deep or push forward at the right time.
