ARGYLE manager Paul Sturrock was pleased with his side's 2-0 win over Romanian opponents FC Unicea Alba Iucia on Friday afternoon.

Steve MacLean and Luke Summerfield were on target for the Pilgrims as they brought the curtain down on a successful pre-season tour in Austria.

The trip has been a chance for Luggy and his team to try out and then execute different playing systems in the friendlies and overall, he felt that the team had done well.

He said: "They are bedding down that new system and I think that they thought it out as they went along.

"It was a difficult game with the weather; it's been very different in the training sessions.

"A lot of them didn't play in the first game so they looked a bit leg weary in the game - they left that zip on the training ground and I was looking for that sharpness.

"But overall, it was a good result."

Luggy had previously hinted that Friday's team was going to be made up of some of the more experienced players in the squad. It was therefore somewhat surprising to see Damien McRory's name amongst the subs.

The Limerick born teenager featured as a second-half substitute against Greuther Furth on Tuesday and went on to score Argyle's equalising goal.

Sturrock said that he was definitely keeping an eye on young McRory.

He said: "Well he scored a goal and at the end of the day you've got to give him the confidence of not dropping him out again

"I feel that he's got attributes that will be of great benefit to the team.

"He's not quite ready for that step yet but we'll be giving him bits and pieces to try and make sure he becomes a good player."

Argyle's next outing will be at Yeovil Town on Tuesday. Luggy said that he hopes to name a strong side and that he wasn't ruling out featuring new players.

He said: "I've got to try and get a settled team now to get them ready for the start of the season and I will be very much looking to name a strongish team.

"There will be no trialists because they've slapped me in the face a bit, but there might be [new faces] if we buy

"We are interested in a whole load of players but getting them is a whole different kettle of fish."

Meanwhile, striker Steve MacLean was pleased with the part he played in Friday's win.

The former Cardiff City hit-man opened the scoring for Argyle after latching on to a well placed Jermaine Easter cross.

He said: "It was nice to get a goal but first and foremost it was a good 90 minutes for the team.

"I thought we played some good stuff and I hope it goes well for the start of the season.

"Hopefully, next season, the team can do well and we can better our finish last year but on a personal note, I really want to do well, help the team do well and get a few goals along the way."
