2 h. ago Time running out for Watford and Argyle after Championship stalemate

A goalless draw in their final game before the clocks go forward means time is running out quicker than ever for both these teams. Rock-bottom Plymouth Argyle started brightly, weathered a storm and then nearly snatched an unlikely win at the end when substitute Muhamed Tijani shot just wide in the closing minutes.Certainly their loyal fans were the happier, but the point still leaves the gap to survival looking impossibly wide with just seven games remaining. Likewise Watford’s playoff hopes are disappearing after their stuttering 2025 form continued where it left off for the international break. Continue reading...
