Argyle 0 Newport 0: Match report

EDGY Argyle edged a little nearer the points total that manager John Sheridan believes will see them extend their season beyond May 2 with a second goal-less draw from their last three matches.

On an afternoon when none of the Pilgrims’ rivals for a final Sky Bet League 2 place between positions 3-9 – Newport included – made any significant headway, it was perhaps a case of no harm...

Oxford 0 Argyle 0: Match report

Match report: Oxford 0 Argyle 0

IF, in the final analysis of 2014-25, Argyle fail by a point or two to reach their season’s objective, the goal at the open end of the Kassam Stadium will have played a significant part.

In a game of few opportunities, the frame of that goal denied the Pilgrims from sneaking away from Oxford with all three points – not once, but twice, within a...

Argyle 2 Northampton 0: Match report

A MAN from Cork provided a corker of a goal to set Argyle on their way to another home win and a crucial three points against in-form Northampton.

Anthony O'Connor's first career goal, scored midway through a tight first half, gave Argyle the lead which they hung onto - you might say clung onto - until the closing moments, when Lewis Alessandra made it two and sealed the deal.

Argyle 0 Bury 2: Match report

ARGYLE'S run of four consecutive victories came to a shuddering halt at Home Park thanks to a familiar old foe.

It was rather fitting that seven days after a hugely satisfying win at the home of Exeter City, former Grecian Danny Nardiello, previous a goalscorer for City against Argyle, returned to haunt the Pilgrims again.

His goal midway through the second half - ironically...

Exeter City 1 Argyle 3: Match report

REUBEN Reid made history by becoming the first Plymouth Argyle player to score a hat-trick at St James Park as Argyle achieved a memorable Devon Expressway Derby win.

Only two previous Pilgrims – Jack Fowler and Ray Bowden – had previously rung in a triple in matches between the two sides, both at Home Park. The magnitude of the defeat can be measured by the fact that the most recent...

Argyle 2 Cambridge 0: Match report

When one is stuck for a footballing metaphor, it is always good practise to turn to a philosopher or learned scholar for words of wisdom.

So, in the words of 80s girl group Bananarama - it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it. That's what gets results.

For long periods of Argyle's home fixture with Cambridge, things were far from pretty. United did a grand job of...

Argyle 1 Accrington 0: Match report

ARGYLE picked up their first win of 2015 - at the sixth time of asking - with a single goal victory over Accrington Stanley at Home Park.

For the second time this season, the Pilgrims besieged Stanley with chances and the fixture finished 1-0 - only this time, it was the men in green who took the deserved victory.

The winning goal game from Lewis Alessandra three minutes before...

Hartlepool 3 Argyle 2 - Match report

Three turned out to be a luckier number for Sky Bet League 2’s bottom side than it did for Argyle’s fans, whose sole consolation for their 775-mile round-trip in the dead of winter was that it was paid for in a sponsorship deal with mobile phone network 3UK.

Two goals from Pools’ Jonathan Franks, one early in each half either side of a leveller from new Pilgrim Ryan Brunt, and another...

Argyle 1 Morecambe 1: Match report

Argyle's winless run extended to six games as a 1-1 draw at home to Morecambe gave the Pilgrims their third draw in four fixtures in 2015.

Reuben Reid’s goal in first half stoppage time gave Argyle a deserved lead, but Morecambe carried a threat throughout, and Jack Redshaw’s goal shortly after the interval was one of several chances the busy forward had.

The Pilgrims dictated...

Southend 0 Argyle 0: Match report

What a difference a week makes...in some respects.

After the 0-0 draw at York City seven days ago, Argyle boss John Sheridan was vocally scathing of his players, who failed to take advantage of playing over an hour against the Minstermen. This game yielded an identical result, but a performance far superior to the lethargic display that so angered the manager at Bootham Crescent....
