Niall Ennis injury could be out for 12 weeks

The hamstring injury to Ennis is 'not a good one' according to Lowe, who could now try to bring in two new forwards


Lowe had been working on bringing in one forward anyway, to compete for places with Ennis, Ryan Hardie and Luke Jephcott.

But with Ennis now facing a possible lengthy spell on the sidelines, and Jephcott set to miss matches due to Wales Under-21 call-ups later in the season, two strikers are on Lowe's shopping list.

Ennis picked up his hamstring injury in the warm-up before the season-opening 2-0 League One defeat at Rotherham United on August and according to Lowe "it's not a good one".

Lowe said: "I don't want to put a timeline on it, but any hamstring can be six to eight weeks, to 12 weeks, we just don't know yet.

Lowe continued: "The kid is gutted because he has done pre-season and he has been flying - he has been fit and firing.

"I have told him 'Look, these setbacks happen, you have just got to make sure you keep moving in the right direction.'

"We have got a fantastic medical team and fantastic lads who will help him through it. They are all there for each other.

"He will be back with us this week and he will start his rehab. He will keep doing the right things and hopefully we will get him back sooner rather than later

The only striker the Pilgrims had among their seven substitutes were 18-year-old Rhys Shirley, who has made two appearances off the bench for the senior side.

"We have got money in the budget to add two or three, but it's finding those two or three. Everyone is looking for the same type of players.

FFS! Injuries can't be helped but we were already light up top, get well soon bhey and come back firing soon.

Get yer boots on Ryan!

well we're fecked when wales call jephcott up.

I think Lowe needs to do a lot of phone talking. All very predictable I'm afraid. Hmm!

Left it too late and we will end up with another Timmy Abraham

Two games into the season and trying to find a decent striker, yeah, good luck with that one Ryan.

Is Barry Hayles still living down this way? He's only 49.

The one good thing argyle have got going for them, is that he will be guaranteed to play. A lot.

That’s a gutter, it’ll be interesting to see what’s available at this time of the season

Choice will be a bit limited. Can't be that many ex teammates he's not signed already.

He'll be on "Dial-a-scouser" for any possibilities

Maybe his mate Jurgen, will have a youth player to lend.

Emergency loan will be needed shortly.

If we have someone in mind and they are feckin us about.
move the on to the next one.

We got 14 days 9hrs 5 mins left to find a forward.

The last one he sent was phenomenalllly shit though lol

We should pay the wages of a decent CCC young player who wants experience, don't think there's any shortage of them IF you pay the wages. A three month deal should see us through the sticky patch whilst we look for someone more permenant.

Shame really I like the kid was looking forward to seeing what he could do this season after impressing last season

Zackly Reg I didn't expect him to go pulling up trees but he's a good steady player with a few goals in him, you wouldn't be surprised with double figures if he played all season.
