STRIKER CRISIS

GRAY IS NOW THE ONLY FIT FRONTMAN AT HOME PARK
CHRIS ERRINGTON

THE experienced Andre Gray has become even more important to Plymouth Argyle now that he is the only fit forward, head coach Wayne Rooney has admitted.

The 33-year-old has a short-term contract which he signed when he joined the Pilgrims as a free agent in early October and that runs until January 3, so while there are three important games coming up before then a decision over his future needs to be reached as well.

Gray made his 10th appearance for Argyle, and sixth as a substitute, when he replaced Ryan Hardie during the second half of the 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough at Home Park on Saturday. The Scottish striker suffered a badly gashed left knee and will definitely miss the away games against Coventry City on Boxing Day and Oxford United on Sunday, December 29.

Hardie has joined long-term absentee Muhamed Tijani (hamstring) on the casualty list, while Michael Obafemi is a third Argyle forward to have picked up an injury after he was taken off early in the game against Middlesbrough due to a groin issue and went for a scan yesterday afternoon.
