Extra Time: Adams Out
I would desperately like to see Derek Adams be the man to turn around Argyle’s fortunes this year, but with no signs that he is able to do that at present, it’s time to hand over the reigns to somebody who can.
Turning the ship around – Part 4: Defensive disaster?
So far, this series has focused on why the manager and midfield have contributed to Argyle’s shocking defensive start. However, the defence itself must take its portion of the blame, and lessons need to be learned to turn the situation around.
Turning the ship around – Part 3: The Sarcevic factor
It was this kind of tactical genius that helped to elevate a series of relatively average individuals – each with their own flaws – into one of the best midfields in the division. Adams put together a unit that accentuated each other’s strengths and minimized their weaknesses.
Turning the ship around – Part 2: The real problem area – midfield
When Songo’o plays, not only does he make fewer successful passes than Fox, with a lower accuracy, but the entire midfield makes fewer successful passes with a lower accuracy and the whole team makes fewer passes with a lower accuracy.
Turning the ship around – Part 1: The manager and the mentality

Extra Time: The Curious Case of Mr Adams
It’s no secret that Plymouth Argyle’s start to the 2018-19 season has been a complete travesty. This season’s failures have mirrored those from the start last term, with the only real difference...
It’s Good to Talk: In tough times, honesty is the best policy
So it’s not been the greatest start to the season for Argyle, who now prop up the table with just three points from seven games. That’s worse even than at this stage last season. While talk of a crisis is premature, any team still winless by mid September clearly has issues.
Extra Time: The Mental Game
It all feels so familiar, doesn’t it? Many of us were optimistic a month ago when the season got underway, believing Argyle may well be able to build on a successful 7th place finish last term. But,...
Player of the Month: August
Plymouth Argyle performed well enough at the start of the month, but ended it in a terrible fashion as Peterborough won 5-1 at Home Park.
Preview: Bristol Rovers v Plymouth Argyle
A brief introduction After six games and zero wins, Plymouth Argyle find themselves bottom of the table. It feels like a direct repeat of last season with another dire start leaving us with a lot of...
