Argyle 1 Yeovil Town 0: Match report

RYAN Brunt has not made loads of appearances nor scored stacks of goals this season, but he has featured in every Argyle game and popped up with some vital strikes, not least of which was his Boxing Day winner that maintained the Pilgrims’ lead of Sky Bet League 2.

Dagenham & Redbridge 1 Argyle 1: Match report

Argyle 1 Accrington 0: Match report

A goal by Reuben Reid worthy of winning a match of much greater import than the battle between Sky Bet League 2’s in-form teams kept Argyle three points clear at the top of the division.

The Pilgrims needed an unbeatable combination of Reid’s skill; dogged determination in the face of talented and organised opposition; and sheer, naked good luck to record a fourth successive league...

Notts County 0 Argyle 2: Match report

IF Reuben Reid's two goals against Notts County were given pet names, they might be christened Smash and Grab.

Grab would be the opener that Reid scored in the first half, turning smartly from his marker and firing into the corner, whereas his brother Smash would be named aptly as it smashed the hopes of a County side that controlled large swathes of the game without being able to...
