When the EFL fixture list is released each June, there is always a sharp focus on the start of the season. Specifically, supporters have an inclination to keep their eye on “the first six”. Every team plays each other twice, but whether they have a good start always...

Football can be the catalyst for a range of emotions. Take the unbridled joy when Plymouth Argyle beat Leicester City on their way to securing Championship survival in 2024. Or perhaps the sheer anger when the club’s hierarchy cocked up that position in the months...

Plymouth Argyle got their first league win of the season at the weekend, and it was a hugely encouraging victory to boot. Tom Cleverley’s Pilgrims faced one of the toughest possible tests at this early stage of the season. They took on Bradford City, the only League...

Plymouth Argyle lost in midweek. It means they’ve now conceded eight goals across their last three games, and are now out of the Carabao Cup to go alongside their winless start to the league season. And yet, the mood music surrounding the club is so much nicer than it...

Oliver Irow: What to Expect?

Ever since Owen Dale’s Plymouth Argyle loan concluded at the end of last season, it’s been clear that the Pilgrims needed to sign a winger. And following his release from Oxford United, Dale appeared keen to become that signing. For the last few months, the two...

Tyreeq Bakinson: What to Expect?

“Argyle are signing a player, but I can’t remember who. I know he’s a midfielder. He played for us before actually, and was on loan with us in one of those seasons where COVID altered everything. Gosh, what was his name? Oh, Ty! You remember Ty, don’t you?” I can only...

During the second half of Plymouth Argyle’s game with Wycombe Wanderers, I was already looking forward to opening this piece with an upbeat intro. The Greens were leading at what has traditionally been an unhappy hunting ground, and were on course to win their first...

Hats off to anyone who is making the journey to Wycombe this Saturday. I know I won’t be. Despite the stadium being something of a namesake, one trip to Adams Park was enough for me. I don’t particularly fancy getting stuck on the one country lane to the ground again,...

I think it’s arguable that Plymouth Argyle have had their best start to a season in living memory. Sure, that’s only on the basis of one game, but what a game it was. Argyle beat local rivals Exeter City 2-0. Both goals came in second half stoppage time, with the...

Compared to the carnage of 2025, it felt like a much quieter summer at Home Park. That’s not to say, however, that Plymouth Argyle haven’t been busy where required. There have been arrivals all over the pitch, with Murphy Cooper and James Storer filling the void in...

At long last, the 2026/7 season is upon us. I understand and appreciate that those of a certain age will have taken great joy in reading that season name aloud. That age, incidentally, falls into the “primary school” range. In their infinite wisdom, the EFL have opted...
Murphy Cooper: What to Expect?

Murphy Cooper: What to Expect?

In goal, Plymouth Argyle have replaced C Hazard with M Cooper. It’s something Ian Foster probably did just in time in the 2023/24 season, and something many Argyle fans may wish they could have done in the two years since. Let me clarify though: academy project Mike...

Harvey White: What to Expect?

Plymouth Argyle have been active and finalising business. Following defensive reinforcements in the form of Alex Hartridge and former loanee Wes Harding, and the addition of goalkeeper James Storer, the Greens have now added to their ranks in midfield. That’s with the...
James Storer: What to Expect?

James Storer: What to Expect?

Considering pre-season has barely started, there seems to be an awful lot going on. The World Cup is taking up our collective consciousness (sometimes literally), it’s been around 900 degrees outside, and we’ve been “treated” to the prospect of a Devon Derby to open...

Alex Hartridge: What to Expect?

It’s always great fun when a player joins Plymouth Argyle from Exeter City. The last two direct deals have been particularly enjoyable. Joel Grant and Caleb Watts were adored by the Grecians faithful, with one even given a special squad number, whatever that’s...

Last week, I predicted that Plymouth Argyle would draw with Port Vale, a result that would have seen their fate mathematically sealed before the final day. I recognise now that this was foolish. This is Plymouth Argyle; it always goes to the final day. The Pilgrims’...

Following events on Tuesday night, I think even the most optimistic Plymouth Argyle fans would conclude that our season is probably over. Argyle didn’t perform badly away at Bradford City, even sitting in the top six of the live table for 13 whole minutes. They came...

For just a moment on Saturday afternoon, it looked as though Plymouth Argyle’s season was set to fizzle out. It didn’t. And more than that, several things went in Argyle’s favour at the same time. It left the Pilgrims tantalisingly placed in seventh, just two points...

We approach another game, and once more Plymouth Argyle’s play-off hopes remain just about alive. Yes, Saturday’s events were particularly bruising. Argyle weren’t at their best in their 2-2 Devon Derby draw, and fell further behind the top six when Stevenage secured...

Games like this need no introduction. But I’ve spent an entire season writing them, so I’m going to give it one anyway. On Saturday, Plymouth Argyle face Exeter City in what will be the first Devon Derby at Home Park since Halloween 2022. It promises to be one of the...
