Match

Still nobody has beaten Plymouth Argyle

The unbeaten run reaches 13. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Callum Wright hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Plymouth Argyle can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Real improvement from Bradley Ibrahim at Plymouth Argyle

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Bradley Ibrahim is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words exchanged at Plymouth Argyle

Datro Fofana and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Murphy Cooper has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Plymouth Argyle

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Words at Plymouth Argyle training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jamie Donley is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Donny van der Lijcke

Plymouth Argyle asked and AZ said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Christopher Davies steps up from the Plymouth Argyle academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christopher Davies has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
