Boss calls for Fallon consistency

Rory Fallon
Fallon has scored just nine league goals in 50 games for Argyle

Plymouth Argyle manager Paul Sturrock has challenged striker Rory Fallon to find consistency after he impressed in the 2-1 win over Watford on Tuesday.

Fallon was one of seven players brought into the side after the 2-1 defeat by Norwich, as Argyle claimed a first win.

"Rory was immense tonight," Sturrock told BBC Radio Devon.

"But some weeks Rory doesn't come to the show with that kind of tenacity and that kind of spring. At the end of the day we've got to get a consistency."

Sturrock also praised a number of the other players who were brought back into the Argyle fold for the club's first victory of the season, which lifted them off the bottom of the Championship table.

Among those winning were plaudits were loan signings Paul Gallagher and Craig Cathcart, as well as Jamie Mackie.

"I thought the boy Gallagher was tactically astute and showed a want and a will to win.

"Mackie did his job and I thought the three midfield players churned it out.

"But you've got to give accolades to the boy Cathcart. To come in in a very difficult circumstance and play the way he did tonight [was excellent]," Sturrock said of the Manchester United defender who made his debut in place of the suspended Kriztian Timar.
