Burton 1 Argyle 0 still 9th First half Argyle where no where and were very lucky to only be down 1-0, 2nd half it was mostly Argyle doing the attacking but no killer punch. 6 games left in the season, all teams in the league except Argyle and Newport have 5 left, Argyle will make that game up against Newport on tuesday, they have to win that, otherwise they are toast.
Newport County 1 ARGYLE 2 Argyle made 4 changes for this game, and 2 of them were involved in the 1st goal, a cross from Thomas who had'nt started a game for Argyle was headed in by Harvey, 6 mins later former Argyle player Zebrowski equalised and 3 mins later Argyle captain Hourihane scored the winner on a pass from Reid. In the 2nd half Argyle as usual sat back and let Newport attack, but Argyle hung on for the victory. Argyle did not move in the standings, but things are closer now see below. 4 Fleetwood 41 13 68 5 Burton 41 6 68 6 Southend 41 13 62 7 York 41 8 60 8 Oxford Utd 41 6 59 9 Plymouth 41 0 58 10 Dag & Red 41 -1 54 11 Bury 41 5 53 12 Mansfield 41 -9 53 13 Cheltenham 41 -8 51 14 Newport 41 -5 50 Next 4 games are Sat 12 Apr 2014 - League Two Plymouth v Oxford Utd 15:00 Fri 18 Apr 2014 - League Two Bury v Plymouth 15:00 Mon 21 Apr 2014 - League Two Plymouth v Wimbledon 15:00 Sat 26 Apr 2014 - League Two Plymouth v Hartlepool 15:00
As usual Argyle choked Argyle 0 Oxford 2 from the very 1st min, Argyle fans new that the team was not up for it, they could'nt put 2 passes together, they could'nt defend they could'nt attack, eventually Oxford took the lead. HT 0-1, 5 mins into 2nd half Argyle were down to 10 men after Blanchard was sent off. It was all Oxford after that and eventually they scored their 2nd. Argyle still 9th, but 4 points out of the playoff position. 4 games left in season Fri 18 Apr 2014 - League Two Bury v Plymouth 15:00 Mon 21 Apr 2014 - League Two Plymouth v Wimbledon 15:00 Sat 26 Apr 2014 - League Two Plymouth v Hartlepool 15:00 Sat 3 May 2014 - League Two Portsmouth v Plymouth 15:00
Division 2 soccer again next year Bury 4 Argyle 0 Argyle should of/could of scored 2 or 3 in the first half but did'nt down 1-0 at HT, gave up a penalty in first few mins of 2nd half, and that was it. Supposedly they played with no desire and passion. Hopefully Sheridan does a massive clearout over the summer.
Argyle 1 Hartlepool 1, Argyle goal by Banton, bad mistake by Berry gave the pool their goal. One more game left in the season away to Portsmouth.
Portsmouth 3 ARGYLE 3 (Reid, Hourihane 2) Argyle came from behind 3 times to draw their final game of the season and ended up finishing 10th. See you in August.
