Plymouth Argyle edge past Truro City but boss unhappy with attack Plymouth Argyle secured a narrow 1-0 pre-season win over National League South side Truro City on Saturday, but head coach Tom Cleverley expressed disappointment with his side's attacking display. The Pilgrims' victory came courtesy of Michael Baidoo's 83rd-minute strike, maintaining their perfect pre-season record. Truro City, who finished 24th in the National League last season with 34 points from 46 games, had earlier beaten League Two side Exeter City 1-0 at home. ## What did Cleverley say about the performance? Cleverley praised his team's defensive solidity, particularly highlighting new signing Alex Mitchell's debut after his move from Charlton Athletic. However, he admitted his frustration with their attacking play. "We didn't quite click in possession or as an attacking unit," Cleverley said. "That's what a large part of our work will focus on before the season starts." The Argyle boss noted improvements in their competitiveness compared to their previous friendly against Torquay United, but stressed the need for better attacking output. ## Why does this matter for Truro City? Despite the loss, Truro City showed they can compete against higher-level opposition, having also beaten Exeter City in their previous friendly. Their performance suggests they could be a strong side in the National League South next season. The match was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 3,088 at Truro's home ground, demonstrating strong local support for the club. ## What's next for both teams? Plymouth Argyle will continue their pre-season preparations, focusing on improving their attacking play before the start of the new campaign. Truro City, meanwhile, will look to build on their promising pre-season form as they aim to bounce back from last season's struggles, where they scored 42 goals and conceded 72 in the National League.
