Good luck to him, perhaps the loan will be extended for the rest of the season in January, or he'll get a half season loan in League 1.


First team squad will be down to 25 ( + Hambo and Harper ).

Exactly. Joe Hart said that loan spell at Shrewsbury he had early in his career really toughened him up for later on so its a good move for Walton at this stage of his career.

Being pedantic Joe Hart didnt have a loan at Shrewsbury. He was born and bred there and it was his first club. Going to Plymouth will do Walton good provided it is not just as bench cover for Luke McCormack

Could Reuben Reid make the step up from Plymouth. He has always played for lower league clubs but has a career total of 265 games with 94 goals. Plymouth are set to offer him a new contract according to BBC Sport.

A good friend of mine is a Plymouth STH, he's just told me he'll definitely play as McCormack is injured.

Is Walton not from Plymouth?

Edit: Wikipedia shows
Walton began his career at the age of 10 in the Plymouth Argyle youth system

Should be really good for him and them. Nothing like playing for your own team.

McCormick has groin injury, they have a second goalie called Bittner, there was an article in the local paper that he had to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get a chance something like 1500 days. Walton will either go straight in a as a back up but Bittner is getting on a bit and a real journey man.
Argyle are flying and playing brilliant attacking football.
Reuben Reid is very good but often injured as has been said he has been injured for the past 3 or so games.
I went to their last league home game and was with match sponsors and helped to choose MOM.
What a performance never seen Div 2 football played to a high standard like that before. Easily Top 6 Div 1.
Morecambe never got a sniff the ball rarely went back or sideways unless it had to should have been 8-0.
Problem is that they have very good loan signings and they really need to extend the loans to the end of the season or they may fall away. The manager (ex Ross County) has totally turned it around.
Carey & McHugh are consistently outstanding easily Championship quality but the MOM was the captain and defender Curtis Nelson only 23 or so but it was like watching Tony Adams but any of the team could have got it.
It was great to see Albions style under Gus in Div 1 but the way Argyle played it was even better.
Just hope it does not go tits up for them because they have some very good players and an excellent manager who could all easily get poached away by bigger clubs.
