Cambridge 2 Argyle 2: Match Report

THE play-offs it is, then, and the mother of all Dockyard Derbies against Portsmouth. Only the order of the venues is still to be decided.

Saturday’s draw at the Abbey means Argyle cannot now win an automatic promotion place in their final game of the Sky Bet League 2 season next Saturday.

Jamille Matt’s fifth goal in nine starts since joining on loan from Fleetwood Town in...

Argyle 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 3

THIS was not supposed to happen.

With three games of their Sky Bet League 2 season to play and promotion within their grasp, Argyle were supposed to brush aside their already-relegated opponents and move on optimistically to the penultimate weekend in good fettle.

After all, they had returned to Home Park after successive away victories at two hard-to-win places – Portsmouth...

Portsmouth 1 Argyle 2: Match report

Late drama seems to be all the rage in football right now.

Argyle produced what could go down as one of the great comebacks as they scored two late goals to defeat Portsmouth 2-1 - and get their promotion push back on track.

Pompey were on course to complete a double over the Greens with ten minutes to play, courtesy of a single goal from Michael Smith after 37 minutes. However...

Argyle 1 Wimbledon 2: Match report

A LATE goal by Wimbledon substitute Adebayo Akinfenwa condemned Argyle to their second 2-1 in two weeks, and dealt another blow to Argyle's ailing promotion hopes.

As sucker punches go, if Ollie Watkins' brace for local rivals Exeter last week was a combination to the ribs, this was a cross from nowhere across the jaw that sent the Green Army reeling. Argyle had trailed at half-time...

Plymouth Argyle 2 Oxford Utd 2

THE two teams chasing league leaders Northampton scored two goals a piece in an exciting encounter at Home Park.

Oxford United came to Devon on the back of a three-match winning run, and having won their last five away games, and took a lead after Peter Hartley's unfortunate own-goal. Argyle, via their captain Curtis Nelson, equalised within three minutes, before Oxford went into the...

Argyle 1 Notts County 0: Match report

GRAHAM Carey’s ninth goal of the season was far less spectacular than the other eight, but just as valuable.

The strike, just after half-time, was no more than a tap-in from someone who generally deals in long-rang breath-takers; even so, there was something elegant about the way he stroked the ball home to give the promotion-chasing Pilgrims an important victory and move them three...

Crawley 1 Argyle 1: Match report

RYAN Brunt’s purple patch continues to steer the Greens towards promotion.

The young Pilgrims’ forward notched his eighth goal in the last 12 matches early in the second half at Crawley to earn Argyle a point and keep them on the coat-tails of Sky Bet League 2 leaders Northampton and comfortably ahead of the chasing pack.

A year after becoming a Pilgrim, Brunt has been at the...
