Argyle 2 Burton 3: Match report

OF all the defeats suffered by Argyle this season at Home Park, this one probably hurt the most.

The Pilgrims led twice against their Staffordshire opponents, through Freddie Ladapo’s fourth and fifth goals of the season, in an exciting first half.

Each time, however, they were unable to capitalise on their lead, nor defend it for long enough, as Kyle McFadzean and Lucas Akins...

Oxford 2 Argyle 0: Match report

WHEN times are hard, you need your friends, so there was some irony that Argyle’s latest defeat was inflicted upon them by two popular former Pilgrims.

United’s goals that gave them a win which saw them leapfrog the Pilgrims at the foot of Sky Bet League One came from forward Jamie Mackie, who scored 16 goals – including one just seconds into his debut against Barnsley – in 102...

FA Cup: Pilgrims To Learn Fate

The first round of the F.A Cup never fails to throw up a shock, and November heralds a first round that throws Football League teams into the bowl for the first time this season.

Over the past five years, Plymouth have only fallen at the first hurdle once, and last drew a non-league opponent in 2013/14, taking on Lincoln City at Sincil Bank. While that venue does not offer the same...

Argyle 1 Wimbledon 0: Match report

It has been a while coming but Argyle claimed their first Sky Bet League One win of the 2018-19 season – and avoided an unwanted club-record winless streak – thanks to Freddie Ladapo’s haeder midway through the second half.

Ladapo had earlier spurned an opportunity of a golden hue and fair play for him for not letting that haunt him, as he stole in to convert Graham Carey’s cross to...

Argyle 2 Doncaster 3: Match report

A FIRST SkyBet League One win of the season remains frustratingly out of reach for Argyle, who lost by the odd goal in five against Doncaster Rovers.

For the visitors, a fourth successive victory was secured through two goals from John Marquis and one from Matty Blair. Argyle’s replies from Ruben Lameiras and Graham Carey were of much higher quality, but where goals are concerned, it...

Cold comfort away from home for Argyle

Argyle came within two minutes of deservedly taking something home from the Valley after another performance which promised much but delivered nothing.

Already without three defenders, they lost two more to injury – as well as midfielder Antoni Sarcevic – during a game played at a relentless pace which was settled by Karlan Grant’s late goal.

Grant had already netted once, in...

First away point for Argyle

ARGYLE have their first away point, and Bristol Rovers have their first home point.

That is the sum total of what came out of a game which spotlighted two teams short on wins, points and confidence.

It was a game not devoid of action, as each side had periods of offence in which it looked like a goal must surely follow, but particularly good saves by each side's goalkeeper were...
