ON the basis that getting into the second round of the FA Cup was the main objective – and bearing in mind what happened to their neighbours the previous day – Argyle can be entirely satisfied with their day’s work.
Their Northern Conference visitors, ranked 44 places below them in the football league pyramid, gave them a game, to be sure, and more than a few heart-in-mouth moments but...
ARGYLE recorded their fifth straight home victory with a comprehensive dismantling of Cheltenham Town.
The Robins began the day only a point behind the Pilgrims in the division, but at times, on another satisfying Saturday at Home Park, they were not in the same league.
First half goals from Reuben Reid and Peter Hartley saw Argyle cruise into a half-time lead, and a second...
For the second week in a row Argyle protected a single goal lead that they picked up in the first half right to the bitter end, and in doing so reached a point they had not done in six-and-a-half years.
In February 2008 Paul Sturrock's Pilgrims won four successive games en route to finishing 10th in the Championship. These days the division is no longer as lofty, but the feeling of...
ARGYLE left Birkenhead with a rare victory, their second away Sky Bet League 2 three points of the campaign, thanks to a magnificent double-handed team performance.
Reid leapt to head home Anthony O’Connor’s marvellously judged cross two-thirds of the way through a first half which the Pilgrims dominated.
The second half was a much more closely-fought, and ultimately fractious...
After a dominant performance on one Saturday ends in a 1-0 defeat for Argyle, the following weekend sees a 1-0 victory very much earned the hard way. Such is life in Sky Bet League 2.
Reuben Reid's goal just after the half-hour mark was the difference between Argyle and visitors Shrewsbury Town, but it was about the only difference. Two extremely hard-working and committed sides...
IT was father’s day at Home Park as Marvin Morgan fired Argyle back to winning ways.
The tall Pilgrim, who became a first-time dad in almost farcical circumstances on Tuesday, marked the moment with his first goal of the season, in only his third start, as John Sheridan’s men ended a run of two successive defeats.
His 14th-minute strike promised much more to come from an...
A strong second-half showing from the Pilgrims preserved their unbeaten home record and lifted them back into the Sky Bet League 2 top ten after they overcame stubborn resistance from ten-man Southend, writes Rick Cowdery.
Goals from Reuben Reid – his fifth of the season – and man of the match Lewis Alessandra – his first – netted the victory against the Shrimpers, who had centre-back...
Plymouth Argyle start their new campaign against newly promoted Cambridge United on Saturday.
Their first match of the season will be played at the R Costings Abbey Stadium, which is the home of Cambridge United.
Cambridge have had a successful pre-season, winning seven of their ten games, including an 8-0 thrashing over St Neots Town, whereas Plymouth have struggled for any...
THREE was the number at Home Park on Easter Monday – but it was anything but magic, writes Rob McNichol.
In the third last game of the season, there were three goals on show, but with two being scored by AFC Wimbledon, it would take an illusionist of the highest order to make positives appear out of thin air as this season limps to a close.
ARGYLE'S playoff hopes are now hanging by a thread, after being comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Bury, writes Chris Groves.
The Pilgrims went into the break a goal behind to Andrew Tutte's strike in the eighth minute, but held their own against a confident Bury side who have been on enviable run of form.
Argyle may have been hopeful of clawing back at least a point after the...
