Midfielder Jamie Griffiths is joining League Two Plymouth Argyle on a month's loan. The 19-year-old has made one senior appearance for the Blues, as a late sub in the Carling Cup tie at home to Northampton last season.

Griffiths says he's glad to be making the move: "I'm looking forward to going to Plymouth. It's a chance to play some first team football and that's what I need."

The Bury-born player came through the youth system at Portman Road, turning professional in the summer of 2010.

The winger missed Paul Jewell’s opening months as manager of the Blues due to a stress fracture to his back but was offered a six-month contract.

Griffiths will be reunited with former team-mate Conor Hourihane at Home Park, the Irishman having joined the Pilgrims on a permanent basis during pre-season.

bontcho added 14:21 - Aug 31 marc96 - presumably because Plymouth want to have a look before committing for any longer. One of the problems of the lack of reserve team football is lower league teams can't scout our ressies very well.

Monkaz added 14:40 - Aug 31 Peter Crouch on loan or if possible ... permanent. I mean I know QPR are loaded, but to be honest who would you choose QPR or the Blues. Jimmy Bullard did this come Town lets buy him now :)

Tampa_Florida_Blue added 16:56 - Aug 31 Some one here commented (I cant remember who it was), that Plymouth has not paid wages in 8 months, so how do we expect to get paid? I am looking at it more like this "IF" we are still paying his wages while at plymouth, its not going to break the bank. How much can a teenager who at best plays reserve football for us be on? 500 a week tops is my guess. Surely taking a step up and playing 2nd div football rather than no football here, will help his education a bit, which in the end should help us to finding out if he is worth an extension to his current 6 month contract.

johnhazlebum added 17:10 - Aug 31 What is Jason Scotland doing in Trinidad if we're going to try and sell him? What is he doing there if we're trying to get him fit? Looks like more loans if we are to strenghten. Is this the way we want to do thigs, PJ?
