West Ham defender to join Argyle after loss
PLYMOUTH Argyle are to sign West Ham United's 20-year-old defender Bondz N'Gala on a one month loan.
His arrival follows the Greens' 2-0 away defeat to Queens Park Rangers last night, which plunged them deeper into relegation trouble.
-
The Pilgrims were outclassed by their west London hosts, who won the Championship clash with goals from the penalty spot from Moroccan ace Adel Taarabt and another from Damion Stewart in the second half.
Second from bottom Argyle remain seven points from safety and with just 12 matches left to rescue themselves from relegation to League One.
Bottom-placed Peterborough United closed in on head coach Paul Mariner's Pilgrims with a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United.
The only good news for Argyle was they have not lost ground on their nearest strugglers Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday, who remain on 37 points after the pair lost 1-0 to Bristol City and West Bromwich Albion, respectively.
If Argyle are to keep their place in the second tier of English football, the pressure is on for them now to win their next Championship match – away to Coventry City on Saturday.

“I didn't go to QPR last night, I listened to it on Radio Devon. I found it so bad I turned off with 20 minutes to go. I have been a Greens supporter for 20 years and have seen some bad football but i have to say this is as bad as it's been. Last night I don't think we had a real shot on goal, why don't we start with our strongest team? Fallon is a waste of time, Mason is a breath of fresh air. The player s like him, Noone and Bolasie are not going to pull us out of this mess, but at least we would see some passion and commitment. Sorry but it's back to the lower division!”

“Boris is right ! we've wasted money and expereicne on other team's players over the last two years...Gray, Anderson, Lowry, Chester, Jutkkievicz,,,where are they now ? and if Eckersley's performance last night is anything to go by we're turning into the desperate donkey derby...Let's blood our own talent...look what happenened with Gosling and Mason !"”

“ok so by your reasoning we get into even more debt by paying some/all of the wages of a west ham player. When we should be getting our own players experience-admit it we are down oh green tinted one!”

“The whole England defence wouldn't save us now. Save your money PM. You've done your best with the team you inherited, resign yourself to League 1 and start rebuilding without loan players.”
