BLAKE'S DEVON!


Darcy Blake yesterday agreed a 6 month loan deal (or a deal until January depending on who you believe) to Championship rivals PLYMOUTH ARGYLE.


A Caerphilly product and still just 20 years old, Darcy hasn't quite broken through to Cardiff City's first team held back by injuries and for reasons I sometimes can't understand, not quite getting the same opportunities as others ... did anyone say Comminges for example??


The Welsh Under 21 stalwart has only been an unused sub this season and had only 26 Championship outings (11 as sub) managing 7 appearences last term. Ironically, many of those outings are as an emergency defender when, to my mind anyway, he's a more natural and better midfield man.


With City strengthening at the back and midfield this term, Darcy has probably fallen further down the pecking order so it's a perfect move for him as he needs first team football and I'm sure he's do a job at Argyle.
