SP19 Team Reviews: Top-half

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

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....

Player Ratings: Parkway 0 Plymouth Argyle 2

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...

New Signing: Dominic Telford Analysed

Disappointed would be the word to describe the feeling of many fans in the immediate aftermath of Plymouth Argyle’s loss in their opening pre-season match against Truro, yet that feeling had largely dissipated by yesterday morning. Now, with Dominic Telford...

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...

Plymouth Argyle to face AFC Wimbledon in Spain

Yesterday saw an eagle eyed member of the Green Army spot what appears to be Plymouth Argyle’s latest (and most probably final) pre-season friendly arranged for the pre-season tour in Spain. Whilst we cannot be certain until either club has confirmed the date, a...

New Signing: Will Aimson Analysed

After the excitement of Monday, Ryan Lowe continued to plunder his old club Bury by stealing centre-back Will Aimson and Argyle were linked with striker Dominic Telford shortly after. Player history Prior to last season, Aimson’s history wouldn’t have made...

New Signing: Danny Mayor Analysed

On Monday, Plymouth Argyle made a signing that left some in disbelief. Danny Mayor, arguably the most important player in each of Bury’s past two promotions, completed his transfer to the south west. As Ryan Lowe builds a new home-from-home for himself, his...

New Signing: Joe Edwards Analysed

Last Thursday, ex-Walsall midfielder Joe Edwards was announced as Plymouth Argyle’s first signing of the summer and the Ryan Lowe era. Based on his history, he appears to be a player who is very well suited to adapt to the holding role in Ryan Lowe’s...

Editorial: The end of football

Tomorrow, a 134 year-old club faces extinction. Unless a buyer for Bury F.C. emerges in the next 24 hours and chairman Steve Dale agrees to sell, then the club will be at the mercy of the High Court in London. They could be read their last rites. Theirs is a story of...
