MORE TO COME

Posted on: Sat 17 Jan 2009

ARGYLE'S forgotten man, Emile Mpenza, eased back into meaningful action after injury when he came on as a half-time substitute in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

With Argyle needing goals, Argyle manager Paul Sturrock believes that the Belgian international could yet play a pivotal part in the Pilgrims' Championship campaign.

Luggy said: "He was through and had a shot; was nearly through again; and ran off Rory all day. So I was relatively pleased with his contribution, but I know there's more to come from him.

"Emile has shown us glimpses over the period he has been here. He turned up nowhere near the fitness to play; we got him fit; he then went through a spell of being on the bench because the team was winning.

"Then he got in the team and did very well for two or three games; got injured; went through a scenario for four or five weeks when he was unavailable for selection. He came back and needed games."

Recalled midfielder Yoann Folly made a successful return to one of his previous clubs, while young winger Craig Noone played the first 45 minutes.

Luggy said: "I thought Yoann was workmanlike; I though Nooney had his good moments and his bad moments.

"I still believe Nooney's got a lot to learn in the game; I still believe he is better suited at this moment in time to being an impact player."
