He's going to come up against much better defenders in The Championship than today. Though with Plymouth only having him & 1 other striker for now, he'll get some opportunities for sure.
Ben Waine x2 Plymouth Argyle vs Leyton Orient EFL Cup first round 2023-24
Ben Waine is enjoying the competitiveness between him and Ryan Hardie at Argyle and the way the two goalscorers are pushing each other to get better. "One thing I will say is I have never had another striker that I have got on so well with." #pafchttps://t.co/Co1sTllt6M

League Cup Plymouth host the EPL's Crystal Palace. Good chance Waine gets a start. He got 2 goals earlier against Leyton Orient in the Cup, and from memory low budget Plymouth still only have 2 strikers so the regular starter Hardie needs a rest at some point.
More competition for Waineo down the South Coast with the signing of Sierra Leone International Mustapha Bundu.
Although the new signing does seem to play as more of a winger than anything, he does however provide another option up top for Plymouth who are quite light in that department as it stands.
Steven Schumacher, PAFC manager: “[Waine]'s getting better. He has been with us eight months now, every day he works so hard to improve. We do all his extras with him. His all-round game is improving. His awareness and tactical knowledge is getting better so he's going to be a good player. As I say with everybody, it takes a bit of time.”
Sounds like a poor performance for PA. Conceded two early goals. Waineo had one shot that went close apparently. Subbed off with lots of others around the hour mark.
Plymouth were down 3-1 at HT, and 2 team mates were subbed at the break. So presumably Waineo did better than them. Still 3-1 when he came off at 60 mins. Finished as a 4-1 loss.
