Argyle vs Preston North End: The talking points
Welcome to the latest One Team In Devon, off the back of defeat at Deepdale. I couldn’t be at the game, as I’m caring for a two-week-old member of the Green Army – but huge kudos to those traveling in numbers this week, with over 3,000 sold for Bristol City on a...
The case for (and against) Ryan Lowe
The fixture against Preston sees Argyle and Schuey pit their wits against Ryan Lowe for the first time. It’s added focus back onto Ryan Lowe’s legacy with the fan base – and the words and feelings associated with that time. Football runs on pantomime villains and...
Back Where We Belong?
Therefore, the question was obvious: could Argyle even compete in the Championship? Would we be the whipping boys, victims of a thoroughly unenjoyable season?
The Waiting is Over
The pints will flow, the Devonport End will be bouncing and the pasties will be delicious. But tomorrow, they’ll taste that little bit better.
Mayflower Musings: What Next, then?

The Championship: Are We Ready?
The train journey back from East Anglia to the Westcountry provides a long period for thought. Portman Road’s floodlights - that have just illuminated Norwich City loanee Bali Mumba’s 93rd minute equaliser - are still visible from the platform and so the monotonous...
The First Test of Hallett’s Ownership?
A lot has happened since August 2018 when Simon Hallett assumed overall control of Plymouth Argyle. We are into the third manager of Hallett’s tenure following Derek Adams and Ryan Lowe, the trust and loyalty shown by the chairman towards Steven Schumacher is truly...
If…
Argyle would have had a much better chance of winning the game had they stuck to their principles and refused to be drawn into a brawl. It will not come as a spoiler that they did, in fact, lose their heads.
American Investment in Argyle
If you’re anything like me, your heart would have skipped a beat earlier today. Seeing the words “club statement” feature in a tweet from Argyle with no further context is enough to send anyone’s head into a spin. Things have seemed so serene off the pitch in recent...
