With no match this weekend, Plymouth Argyle manager Bobby Williamson is under no illusions about the task ahead as they continues their headlong slide towards the relegation zone. It's easy for the critics to come up with their own ideas of how the Pilgrims can extricate themselves from their current difficulties, but a couple of good results should start to end speculation about the current management tenure. Early season good form has been replaced by a run of just one victory and a draw in their last eight matches. Argyle are desperate to find a striker to get them out of their current run of just four goals in six games and one could be due at Home Park soon. Argyle's unlucky tag is beginning to wear thin with some supporters, who come away from a match more bemused than angry at another defeat. It seems that when Williamson solves one problem, another rears its ugly head. The arrival of Porto's Hungarian U21 international Akos Buzsaky on loan until the end of the season looks like an inspired signing. One of Argyle's problems has been the mix and match in midfield. This signing, along with that of Bjarni Gudjonsson, has given the midfield teeth. Both players also have an eye for goal, as Buzsaky's blistering 25-yard drive against a Preston North End post on Saturday showed. Scott Taylor has had three matches to show Argyle's patient fans what he can do and a goal at Reading next week would not only help his confidence but take away the pressure that will surely build if he continues to fail to find the back of the net. Williamson may have room to bring in a new striker or two, if Scottish newspaper reports are to be believed that Marino Keith is a target for Scottish Premier League side Motherwell. Keith, Nathan Lowndes and Blair Sturrock are finding it difficult to get in the Argyle team. Williamson also revealed that Steven Milne is coming along slowly from his knee in jury and is unlikely to be available for at least a month, leaving the manager with buying a striker a top priority. 'We are all in it together,' said Williamson after Saturday's defeat in front of one of their lowest home gates of the season left them in 20th place. Williamson didn't criticise Argyle fans for booing the team off the field. 'The boos will come every time we lose a game. Our fans pay good money, whether it's here at home or travelling away. 'They have to understand that we are disappointed for them. We are also disappointed for each other as well. I can only plead with the fans to keep on encouraging us.' One light on the horizon was Hasney Aljofree's turn out for Argyles reserves in a 4-0 midweek win over Bristol City. First team captain Paul Wotton and Aljofree were the central defensive pairing, although they were rarely troubled. Wotton scored with a characteristic penalty after Stuart Yetton had opened the scoring in the first minute. Keith Lasley added another four minutes later and Chris Zebroski hit the third for a team that included Ryan Dickson.

Argyle's women's team will be hoping for better weather on Sunday for the visit of Launton, which will only be their second home game of the season. Last week's match against Forest Green Rovers fell foul of the bad weather. Fixtures - Coca-Cola Championship: Sat Feb 5 Reading (A) 3pm U16s: Sat Jan 29 Cheltenham Town (A) 11am.
