Since relegation from the Championship last season, it has been a turbulent start to life in League One for Plymouth Argyle, who have struggled to gain any momentum under manager Tom Cleverley.

It has been a difficult beginning to life back in the third tier for Plymouth, to say the least.

After losing former manager Miron Muslic to German side Schalke, after it was expected he would remain with the club, the Pilgrims moved for former Watford boss Cleverley and appointed the Englishman on a three-year deal.

Argyle's summer wasn't ideal, with 12 players leaving the club permanently and a further six departing on loan. Meanwhile, the club brought in 15 players of their own to replace them, marking a significant period of upheaval at Home Park.

Unsurprisingly, therefore, results have been all over the place for the Devon-based club. They currently sit 17th in the League One table with three wins and six losses, having conceded the most goals in the league (18) in the opening nine games.

Wins at home to Stockport County and away to Luton Town have been joined by losses at home to Peterborough United and away to Bolton Wanderers.

However, there has been at least one shining light for the Pilgrims, having defeated the Spurs' academy in the EFL Trophy, with 17-year-old Tegan Finn grabbing two goals and two assists in their 6-2 victory.

Tegan Finn has been tipped to break into Plymouth Argyle first-team after starring v Spurs under-21's

FLW's Plymouth Argyle fan pundit, Luke Hodge, has tipped Finn for big things and expects the youngster to increasingly pick up more minutes for the first team as the season progresses.

Luke told FLW: "There is no doubt that Tegan Finn is the best youngster we have had at the club for quite some time.

"He has shown glimpses this season of his ability and potential, and obviously, on Tuesday, he was superb, two assists and his first two goals for Argyle.

"It was against a young Tottenham under-21's side, who were played off the park really. It was a game where Tegan looked great, as did many of the Argyle players, but you can only play what is in front of you, so fair play to them for that.

"He's got the potential to break into the first team, there's no two ways about that.

"He's got so much potential, and to finally get him to sign a pro contract at Argyle when there were other clubs interested in him shows how much he cares about the club.

"I think under Tom Cleverley, the coaches, being around the first team and playing minutes, he will go from strength to strength.

"If injuries were picking up, then he's probably as close to the starting 11 as he has ever been.

"[It's] exciting times, he just needs to keep level-headed, keep his feet on the floor, keep working hard, and he should flourish."

Tegan Finn can make a real impact for Tom Cleverley in Plymouth Argyle's squad

With Argyle having struggled in the early stages of this season, you'd imagine it would be difficult for a manager to introduce a young player into a heated environment such as that, but that hasn't been the case here.

The young attacker has made four appearances in the third tier so far this season, which is a reflection of his ability and the trust that the club holds in him.

Finn made four appearances in the Championship for the Pilgrims last season, having even played the full match in the club's 4-0 away defeat to Coventry City.

This season, he has already matched his total number of league appearances as of last, and it appears as though he is edging ever closer to becoming a regular in his boyhood side's first team.
