Plymouth Argyle 0 Burton Albion 1

Argyle’s eight-game unbeaten run came to an end at Home Park as Adam McGurk’s goal sealed all three points for Burton Albion, writes Rob McNichol.

The Brewers won 1-0 for the third time this week to head back to Staffordshire the most contented side, although their goal was the catalyst for Argyle to play some of their best football of the season.

After McGurk – the best...

John Sheridan is picking up good vibrations at Home Park

John Sheridan may be more Oasis than Beach Boys, but the Argyle manager is picking up good vibrations at Home Park, writes Rick Cowdery.

The Pilgrims entertain Burton Albion on Saturday, looking for a fourth successive home win and to extend a very handy unbeaten run to nine matches.

That streak has taken them a comfortable mid-table position in Sky Bet League 2, seven points...

Plymouth Argyle 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 1

Goals from Reuben Reid and Luke Young extended Argyle’s unbeaten run to seven games, and completed a very satisfactory week at Home Park. The best, in fact, in a very long time writes Rob McNichol.

After a creditable point earned at York City, then a rampant 5-0 victory over Lincoln in the FA Cup, a 2-1 victory over play-off chasing Dagenham & Redbridge was yet another step in the...

Plymouth Albion 16 Bedford Blues 27

With Bedford Blues struggling near the foot of the Championship table most Albion fans saw this game as a good chance to get their season back onto a winning track.

After a very much below par performance from Albion it was Bedford who gained a thoroughly deserved win and left the Albion coaching team with plenty to think about.
