BRADLEY Wright-Phillips has been the victim of injury and the good form of others in his first season at Argyle.
The striker missed the opening five months of the season with a knee problem before gradually fighting his way back to fitness.
The emergence of young Joe Mason, however, has seen the former Southampton man excluded from Argyle's four-man striking options in recent games.
"Bradley and I had a good chat," said head coach Paul Mariner. "He missed quite a lot of training because of an unfortunate family situation.
"He's not played many games, so he needs to be training hard and training consistently to get him going. Everybody who has played knows that game-fitness is a totally different thing.
"He is obviously pushing, every single player is pushing. We have Joe Mason who has made himself aware to everybody and Kenny Cooper is also fighting his way in.
"Rory [Fallon] and Jamie [Mackie] have been doing sterling work for us, so, when you have five for four spots, it becomes difficult.
"All the players want to play but Brad and I have a good rapport, and we'll try to work out what is going to be best for all."
