Argyle fans have not seen the best of me yet Palsson

VICTOR Palsson has admitted the Green Army have not seen 'anything close to what I can do' after a frustrating start to his time at Plymouth Argyle.

The 33-year-old Iceland international brought vast experience from leagues across Europe, and also a spell under Wayne Rooney at DC United in the United States, when he joined the Pilgrims during pre-season after leaving Belgian club Eupen.

Palsson started at right-back in Argyle's season-opening 4-0 defeat away to Sheffield Wednesday but then missed the next four matches after picking up a hamstring injury.

Once he recovered from that, the defender had to watch from the substitutes' bench due to the form of others.

He was brought into the team by Rooney for the away game against Burnley on October 1, again at rightback, but had a difficult time and was substituted during the second half at Turf Moor.

However, Palsson then started the last two Championship games, the 3-3 draw at home to Preston North End and the 3-0 defeat away to Leeds United, as he has taken over from the injured Lewis Gibson in central defence.

With Gibson and Brendan Galloway, another centre-back, both on Argyle's lengthy injury list at the moment, Palsson had an opportunity to get a run of games for the first time this season. But after conceding six goals in those two games, the Icelander was back on the bench for the win against Portsmouth and last week's 1-1 draw at Derby County.

Palsson said: "I will be honest, it hasn't been the start that I wished for myself, personally. It has been a tough start, coming in and getting the injury straight away, and then not playing and not being able to show who I am as a player.
