Tottenham midfielder Devine: Plymouth loan will improve me

Tottenham midfielder Alfie Devine feels he's growing in his loan with Plymouth Argyle.

Devine is on-loan at Plymouth to June.

"I think the first three games I have been quite disappointed with myself because I know that's not me," he said, as reported by Plymouth Live. "I think today just shows that I'm getting a lot more comfortable in and around the team, and especially on the pitch.

"Once you get the connections and the bonds on the pitch it makes your life a lot easier when you are on there. Obviously, you can't get that without the players helping you.

"I know Fozzy's [Ian Foster] system quite well and the way he wants to play, but trying to adapt to a new league and a new position at the same time, I struggled the first three games and I know that. I think today's performance reassures me a bit that I'm getting used to it and I'm getting a lot more comfortable."
