All news, opinion and analysis on Plymouth Argyle FC men’s first team
New Signing Analysed: Morgan Whittaker
Granted, Whittaker isn’t a totally ‘new’ signing. But could his previous achievements at Argyle be a precursor to some future successes?
New Signing Analysed: Conor Hazard
Plymouth Argyle have made their fourth signing of the transfer window, and it’s the first to truly knock me for six.
New Signing Analysed: Lewis Gibson
Argyle must have had a profile in mind when lining up defenders this summer. Gibson appears to be a remarkably similar player to Pleguezuelo.
New Signing Analysed: Kaine Kesler-Hayden

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...
Preview: Grimsby v Plymouth Argyle
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
