Argyle show off stylish new attack at Crewe

It feels like a remarkable rarity to be feeling this positive when analysing a Plymouth Argyle game, and that’s not just because the match in Crewe was the first time the Greens have taken to the field competitively in three months. A far cry from the defensive and...

Crewe Alexandra Tom Sleeman Key player: Perry Ng Before we continue, yes that is is surname – apparently it is pronounced like ing, but with little emphasis on the I, though we stand ready to be corrected on that. The 23-year-old versatile right-back proved to...

Port Vale Key player: Marc Cullen It’s a bold move to pick Cullen over veteran (and last season’s top scorer with 14) Tom Pope. The 33 year-old is now entering his eighth season with the Valiants, and has showed no signs of slowing down recently. He...

Argyle’s only home fixture of the pre-season campaign won’t be one that lives long in the memory. It was a fairly turgid affair that saw Bristol Rovers win 1 – 0 with a late goal from new signing Victor Adeboyejo. Neither team really looked like they got going...

New Signing: Jose Baxter Analysed

Another new signing from Greater Manchester, but not Bury this time! Jose Baxter – formerly of Oldham, Sheffield United and Everton – is the seventh new signing for Plymouth Argyle this summer, and quite an exciting one too. Player history Normally this...

And then there were five. But, unlike Agatha Christie’s best selling mystery novel, the number of ex-Shakers at Plymouth Argyle is only increasing. Byron Moore, a supporting member of Bury’s charge to promotion last season, has become the ninth convert...

Lessons Learned: Truro, Parkway and Torquay

Promising youth players Let’s start with the one clear positive from pre-season: the emergence of Klaidi Lolos and Adam Randell. Both first year apprentices have accumulated significant minutes thus far and been two of the standouts overall. Randell ran the show...

Player Ratings: Torquay 3 Plymouth Argyle 1

Three pre-seasons matches for Ryan Lowe’s Plymouth Argyle, two losses. After Truro dispatched the Pilgrims a week ago via a fortunate winner, Torquay battered Argyle’s defence repeatedly and a further goal would not have been unfair. 13. Alex Palmer, GK...

New Signing: Callum McFadzean Analysed

Another day passes, another former shaker joins Plymouth Argyle. This time it was Callum McFadzean, a key player for Bury at left wing-back last season, and – if rumours are to be believed – there are still a couple more who can be expected to follow him....

Despite losing the opening game of pre-season to Truro, optimism at Plymouth Argyle remains high and we saw an improved performance against Parkway, with new signings Mayor and Telford on show. Yet, first year professionals Klaidi Lolos and Adam Randell largely stole...

A very disappointing first showing by Plymouth Argyle at Truro City’s Treyew Road. Ryan Lowe’s first game in charge ended in a 1-0 defeat, and few emerged with positive words to say about them. 31. Michael Cooper – 6 The young keeper wasn’t tested...

Plymouth Argyle to receive sell-on fee for Gallagher?

A tweet this morning from journalist Alan Nixon appeared to indicate that Plymouth Argyle could be in for something of a windfall. His update, indicating that Wigan had bid £5m for Southampton striker Sam Gallagher, means that there is every chance that Argyle may be...
