On the advice of my Plymouth supporting mates i thought the signing of Trottman was a big mistake but based on the last two games they could no have been more wrong. (Therefore neither could i) McCrystal and Parkes does not work at present so i believe we will stay with a nice stable line up whicj is important. How many times have we said that about our players as they've joined other teams? At the end of the day every one of these players is professional for a reason. Just for one reason or another certain players and clubs just don't work out. |

I think Parkes has enjoyed working with an aerially dominant center back. McChrystal wins his fair share, but Trotman (although I'm not completely sold on the ball around his feet or marking quite yet) is a beast in the air, he attacks the ball better than our other defenders in both boxes.

I think Trotman is good at this level because a lot of teams are more direct therefore the ball is in the air more which allows Trotman to do his thing.

It also makes sense to have a right footer alongside the left footed Parkes. If Trotman keeps up his form, he probably can if he coped last season in Div 2, you do wonder what the future holds for club captain McChrystal, particularly as the Turley signing still seems likely.

Trotman has to start on Saturday. So many teams in this league will want to hoof it a big target man, and Trotman's a great stopper. He's also gone close to scoring from crosses into the box from corners a few times. Parkes and Trotman are first choice in the middle of the defence for me, and with Lockyer we can play either three or four at the back as the game dictates.
As to playing behind closed doors games against opposition like this, well how else are we going to know if first team players who aren't in the first team are match fit?

Don't think you should judge a player after 2 or 6 games but a whole season !! I admit, however Trotman played well v Halifax. |

Yeah, that's the impression I got from Saturday. Parkes for me has never looked great in the air and even in Conference he isn't dominant - I also wonder how many goals with his head has he scored for us over the last 2/3 seasons - can't be more than 3 or 4 ! |
