Preview: Lincoln v Plymouth Argyle
It’s time for Plymouth Argyle to find a response. Don’t get me wrong, the start to this season has been generally delightful; you’d have to be a bit of a masochist not to be pleased with 41 points after 17 games. But after the trauma of losing 5-1, and indeed having...
Player Ratings: Grimsby (A) – FA Cup
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 still...

Can Argyle pick up the win at Blundell Park? Well, given they remain the highest-ranked side in the draw, they’ll certainly start as favourite

Player Ratings: MK Dons (A)
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...
Preview: Milton Keynes v Plymouth Argyle
MK are not the same team they were last season. Not by a long shot. The losses over the summer of Scott Twine and Harry Darling have been crippling
Player Ratings: Accrington Stanley (H)
Argyle continued their impressive start to the 2022/23 league season racking up yet another home victory in the process - this time a 3-0 win against Accrington Stanley, here’s how the players are rated: Michael Cooper – 8 Cooper’s list of admirers is only growing due...
Preview: Plymouth Argyle v Accrington
Just because the games against the “big” sides may have passed, Argyle cannot afford to take their collective feet off the gas.
Player Ratings: Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Quite frankly, I don’t know what more I can say about Cooper that doesn’t descend into cliche. I could say he goes beyond superlatives but that itself is a cliche.
