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...
