Argyle 3 Mansfield 0: Match report

ARGYLE took a huge leap towards Sky Bet League 2 promotion with a richly-deserved 3-0 victory against Mansfield Town. In fact, one could say the Pilgrims leapt like a proverbial Stag.

Mansfield arrived at Home Park in very fine fettle, but their fearsome antlers were soon shed, as the Pilgrims produced a dominant performance to stamp their class on this game. Any talk of ruts looked...

Plymouth 0 1 Wycombe: Match report

ARGYLE failed to take advantage of their promotion rivals’ FA Cup-induced Sky Bet League 2 inactivity as Wycombe continued to exert their Home Park hex over the Pilgrims with a fifth successive victory at the Theatre of Greens.

Recent familiarity has clearly bred contempt between the two sides and the match with last year’s play-off conquerors of the Pilgrims was the Beautiful Game’s...

Argyle 3 Stevenage 2: Match Report

A NEW generation of Argyle fans saw the Pilgrims return to old winning ways and maintain their lead of Sky Bet League 2 thanks to a dominant first-half display against Teddy Sheringham's visitors.

Around 2,000 lads and dads from the Nash & Co. Devon Junior & Minor League were guests at Home Park to witness an exciting match which should guarantee that plenty of first-time...

Carlisle 0 Argyle 2: Match report

ARGYLE’S first Football League game on neutral territory for nearly 55 years saw another Ryan Brunt-inspired victory keep them clear at the top of Sky Bet League 2.

Brunt’s Christmas contribution to the Pilgrims’ progress was again vital as the 22-year-old forward scored for the third game in succession.

His free-kick strike midway through the first half at Ewood Park was his...

Newport 1 Argyle 2: Match report

Argyle got their third win in a row and remained top of the league with a 2-1 victory at Newport County that was permeated with poignant flashbacks.

Much was made - perhaps too much, it could be argued - of the fact that John Sheridan had a distinctly poor record as Argyle manager when it came to winning a game from behind, so the fact that his current County side led via a Scott Boden...

Hartlepool 1 Argyle 2: Match report

ARGYLE have returned to the number one position in the division - thanks to the Pilgrims' number 2.

Kelvin Mellor, minutes after giving away a penalty which looked to have handed a point to hosts Hartlepool, scored a last minute winner for Argyle to make this year's Christmas a wholly green-and-white affair.

Carl McHugh's classy effort looked to have given Argyle the win, in...

Argyle 1 Cambridge 2: Match report

INJURY-HIT Argyle could not give their Green Army the present they wanted in Home Park’s last game before Christmas as their winless Sky Bet League 2 run was extended to four matches by Cambridge’s late winner. Live by the sword...

For the second home game in succession, they conceded an early goal, from Ben Williamson, which they had to work hard to claw back.

They did, thanks...

Argyle 1 Exeter 2: Match report

A DEVON Expressway Derby victory will always feel sweet - but for Exeter, getting a 2-1 win at Home Park with their cross-county rivals leading the division will taste delicious.

In equal measure, it was a bitter pill for Argyle to swallow. A depleted Pilgrims line-up never seemed to find their feet - but equally they never found the need to throw in a towel. An Argyle team without...

Argyle bow out of cup

ARGYLE exited a second cup competition in the space of four days with a second piece of uncharacteristic behaviour this week.

A 2-0 loss on Saturday to Carlisle saw an unusually lacklustre Pilgrims side meekly exit the FA Cup - this was a performance full of zest and energy that had been lacking against the Cumbrians, but saw Argyle'near-watertight league defence breached time and...

Argyle 2 Morecambe 0: Match report

THE gifted left feet of Graham Carey and Craig Tanner allowed Argyle to take another step forwards in this so-far glorious Sky Bet League 2 campaign, as goals from the pair put Argyle into a lead after a dozen minutes that they would never relinquish.

Carey's goal after a little more than a minute gave the Pilgrims the lead, and Tanner followed with a similar-looking, cultured, left-...
