It may seem counterintuative, but this is how surrendering the midfield may make us more competitive under Ian Foster? “Pack the midfield”. “Outnumber the opposition in there”. “The game was won/lost in the midfield...

Finally – FINALLY – for the first time this season, Argyle have won away from home. A first away win since lifting the title at Port Vale. The first Saturday 3PM away win since the 4-1 demolition of MK Dons. The first Championship away win since… let me check…...

Mike Cooper, if you believe the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is ready to come back. Nearly nine months have passed since his ACL was ruptured after a cynical Josh Windass challenge on an afternoon in Sheffield that was miserable in every way....

Santos and Pelé. Ronnie Mauge at Wembley. Mickey Evans against QPR. Securing the title at Port Vale . These are just some of the unforgettable moments no doubt etched into the memories of Argyle fans. However, intertwined with those magical moments, there have also...

Plymouth Argyle made it to Wembley on Tuesday night. As someone who has routinely boycotted the Papa Johns Trophy since 2016, I met this news with supreme indifference. I had considered that it may be easier to just buy a ticket to Wembley rather than spend as much...

It was a hard fought point at Bolton, which extends Argyle’s lead over third place to seven points. The home side probably had the better of the game but had very little in the way of clear cut chances, mostly due to great defending from the greens. A big game awaits...

On a chilly Friday evening in December, it was a frosty reception which greeted the full time whistle as the green’s slumped to their first league defeat at home, here’s how the players are rated: Michael Cooper – 6: Perhaps would be disappointed at the second goal...

Well, well, well. Another 5-1 defeat – hello darkness, my old friend. I was ‘lucky’ enough to be on the player ratings for that defeat to Charlton too and I can see some huge similarities; a strong starting 11, big hype (mainly from last season’s FA Cup run...

A blockbuster of a Devon derby went the way of Steven Schumacher’s side on Monday evening following a blistering second half performance, here’s how the players are rated. Michael Cooper , GK– 7 Couldn’t do much with either of the goals that were conceded and did have...

Fortress Home Park, what a place. A bastion of footballing excellence for those in green. Despite going one down, Schumacher again worked his magic from the bench with inspired substitutions to seal another three points – taking us 5 points ahead of where we...

It would be safe to say I’m thoroughly running out of superlatives to describe this side; every-single-man has stepped up, as a side we look un-stoppable right now. My last game on the Argyle Life ratings saw us crumble to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Charlton...

It was yet another breathtaking night at Home Park as Argyle established a five point gap over third in the league, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1. The truly extraordinary season has produced some very memorable games so far and this wasn’t an exception. Two...

We out-Wycombed Wycombe! Well, maybe not quite. In truth we relied on a bit of goalkeeping brilliance in the first half but the core ingredients were there. We took an early lead from a dead ball situating when then saw out the rest of the game through a combination...

In a returning feature, we are joined by George from The Wycombe Way who gives us a Wycombe viewpoint on this weekend’s game. Hi and thanks for talking with us? How do you feel about the start to the season you’ve made? It’s been underwhelming, for a number of...

When I look up the meaning of a team’s “bogey team” on Google (this isn’t the extent of my normal research…honest), I’m told it’s defined as “a team that either always beats them or against which they habitually enjoy bad luck.” I think it’s abundantly clear that,...

A pulsating second half comeback saw Argyle claim victory over Ipswich Town and move to the top of the League One table. Here’s how we rated the players: Mike Cooper, GK – 8 Whilst the scouts and analysts will already know how good our young keeper is,...

A result many of us would have no doubt gladly taken before kick-off, it felt no less devastating to be leaving Fratton Park with a 2-2 draw, following a late equaliser by Recco Hackett. Pompey had dominated the first three quarters of the game and despite some good...

Argyle returned to action in fine fettle with a comfortable victory over Oxford United. Although we only won by one goal to nil, we were the better side for the vast majority of the game and our commitment to possession football won us the game in the end. Here are...

What. A. Day. Super Sam Cosgrove off the bench to revive us at the death; picking up all three points despite being 2-0 down at Half-Time. So, without further ado, Callum Cuzner gives us his player ratings from that barn-storming 3-2 win at Pride Park. GK: Cooper...
