25/26 Player Spotlight: Joe Ralls

Appearances: 10 (8 starts)

Minutes: 571

Goals: 1

Assists: 1

How can a player who only played 571 minutes for us get 5 stars? Well... in my opinion, he can't.

Leadership skills and technical ability through the roof. He feels like a League One cheat code if he can stay fit, but his fitness has been declining year on year, which is ultimately why he was released by Cardiff.

When he played, he was an anchor in this team. Great contribution and a great signing, just a shame about the lack of minutes.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm not surprised we've offered him a new deal, but it is a risky one. He will inevitably take up a large part of the wage bill and if he doesn't stay fit we will always look light, young and inexperienced in a 2-man midfield (thank god for Mala... More on him in a few days).

Come on down Joe, let's have another go.

25/26 Player Spotlight: Bali Mumba

Appearances: 25

Minutes: 2008

Goals: 0

Assists: 3

Bali Bali Bali. Where did that 2022 & 2023 form go?

Struggled in a struggling side. But in the end, it was excellent business to sell him for what we did. A frustrating player at times, but he needs his confidence back. 3 assists in 25 appearances isn't horrendous, but ultimately it should've been a lot more from him.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A season to forget for Bali. Best of luck to a lad once adored by our fan base, but a move that suited all parties. Not got any reason to root for Huddersfield next season, but good luck to him personally.

In the words of DJ Khaled... "Another one"

Any thoughts?

25/26 Player Spotlight: Law McCabe

Appearances: 13

Minutes: 511

Goals: 0

Assists: 2

Remember him? In McCabe's defence, he's obviously a quality player, it was just right player wrong time. During the few moments of quality from him this season you could really see why he was within the England Youth setups, but ultimately struggled in a struggling side. Shame it didn't work out, I really rated him.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

McCabe remains at Boro, having returned in January and it will be interesting to see what happens next with him. Good luck to him, but I can't imagine it'll be at Home Park again. I'm sure he'll go onto have a good EFL career.

Further to my earlier post... I'm going with rope-esque pin stripes. It's surely not the colour... Surely 🤣

Argyle tweeted a video of this rope with the date 24.05.26.

It's obviously something to do with the kit. But what? Is it a rope pattern? The colour?

It doesn't look anything like the design that was leaked recently - so perhaps that wasn't the kit.

Any ideas??

25/26 Player Spotlight: Nathanael Ogbeta

Appearances: 23 (14)

Minutes: 1457

Goals: 1

Assists: 1

A bang average season for Ogbeta, which is a bit of a surprise given his League One prowess a couple of years back. Never particularly rated him myself. Defensively not switched on enough and not lively enough going forward.

Season Rating: ⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ogbeta has unsurprisingly been released. Good luck Nathanael.

25/26 Player Spotlight: Kornel Suzcs

Appearances: 21

Minutes: 1750

Goals: 0

Assists: 0

Szucs should've blown League One out of the water. He came to Argyle on the brink of becoming a Hungarian international. He is rapid. He is tall. He is superb on the ball.

This season, we saw basically none of that. He was late to block crosses, he hardly won an aerial duel.

He showed a few moments of quality, but very rarely.

He got sucked into being a losing player in a losing team and moving him on was another piece of excellent business in January. 

Season Rating: ⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great business to sell in Jan. Best of luck to him. Next!

25/26 Player Spotlight: Alex Mitchell

Appearances: 40

Minutes: 3499

Goals: 3

Assists: 0

This guy. Pretty tidy on the ball, fantastic in the air... Absolute bloody rock in the back line. Compliments Ross / Pleggy / ball playing centre-backs excellently. Struggled at the start of the season, like everybody did, but once he settled he was integral part to our success.

4 stars for the season and an extra star for post match interviews and celebrations to match.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mitch returns to Charlton with half-baked Argyle legend status. He's a must sign.

I would say that Home Park has lost its voice since late 23, and I think that is perhaps down to having our fingers burnt during a beyond-miserable 2-year spell - so it's regrettable that "Alex Mitchell, we want you to stay" wasn't sung with a few bonus decibals.

25/26 Player Spotlight: Wes Harding

Appearances: 14 (12 starts)

Minutes: 1110

Goals: 0

Assists: 3

A great Jan signing. I was a little bit concerned about his aerial ability, particularly with how he struggled in the first half against Cardiff (H), but other than that, he's been very solid. Good tackler, great experience and level-headedness. Good crosser of the ball and delivered plenty of chaos with an actual - real - long throw.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wes Harding returned to Millwall and has been released.

I think he's an obvious signing. He's fit and firing. He's got the experience and is the perfect signing due to being a free agent and being versatile across the back line.

It's project promotion, so give him a two year deal.

Year one, promotion. Year two survival. Then reassess. Come on down Wes!

25/26 Player Spotlight: Jack MacKenzie

Appearances: 11 (6 starts)

Minutes: 572

Goals: 0

Assists: 0

A high quality left-back who is another player who's season has been completely hampered by injury. When he has played he's looked a really bright prospect. He's tough, good on the ball and got great defensive awareness. 3 stars for me, based on what he did do when he played.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I reckon he'll be a huge player next season. Full pre-season behind him and he'll be excellent I reckon.

25/26 Player Spotlight: Matty Sorinola

Appearances: 36 (26 starts)

Minutes: 2440

Goals: 1

Assists: 1

I think players like Sorinola have a tough time with being used properly. He's probably not got the height / strength / aerial ability to be an out and out full back, but not got the attacking quality to be a winger. Getting him into the 4-4-2 as a wide-midfielder was a stroke of genius though. 

I was surprised to read how many games he's played this season. I felt as though he was injured more often. He's had an OK season, nothing great, nothing poor. 

Season Rating: ⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I believe we now enter the final year of Sorinola's deal. Will be interesting to see what happens here with him. Cleverley clearly rates him, but I wonder if we may prioritise bringing in a more physical left-back and more creative wide players fit for the Championship, before offering Matty a new deal. Does this therefore mean Matty will be out of the door this summer to make way for new players?

25/26 Player Spotlight: Brendan Galloway

Appearances: 24 (18 starts)

Minutes: 1579

Goals: 2

Assists: 0

I believe that the narrative around Galloway is that he's been missing most of this season, which I don't believe is the case. He did suffer a couple of injuries, but I believe he was available for large parts of the season and simply not selected.

Quality player who was always good when we played. A Championship LB on the pitch. Pretty much always reliable, great tackler, great ball progression, wins ~85% of his duels.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brendan Galloway has been released and leaves Argyle as a title winner and centurion. His body has let him down time after time, but ultimately he should be playing in the Championship if his body would allow it. Due to lack of selection by Cleverley and BG's most recent injury, it seems sensible that this is where we part ways. Good luck, Brendan!

25/26 Player Spotlight: Victor Palsson

Appearances: 3

Minutes: 211

Goals: 0

Assists: 1

I was surprised to read he has an assist in League One this season. I don't remember it.

He's a player I never warmed to. It wasn't a good fit here. Glad we moved him on.

Season Rating: 0/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good luck Victor. I can't say I have anything against him personally, but he was the THE Rooney man and I never liked that. He'll be a quiz question one day - so remember the name!

What do you think? 👇

25/26 Player Spotlight: Mathias Ross

Appearances: 39

Minutes: 2903

Goals: 4

Assists: 1

Took Mathias a little while to adjust to life in the EFL, but now he's settled. He's some player.

He was too quick to launch the ball forward earlier in the season, but has learned when to release and when to hold. He's got to grips with the physicality of League One strikers and is a real talent in both boxes. 4 goals and 1 assist is a great return.

Season Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I would've given him 3 stars if it wasn't for the goals. The reason for this is that I thought he was way too rush with the ball "lumping it long" every time it came to him for the first half of the season. His transformation has been excellent and you can clearly see his technical qualities. Two years left on his deal - hugely important player to retain in the squad as we push for promotion next season.
