Argyle's reward for their 3-0 victory over Portsmouth is a somewhat less than mouthwatering second round tie away at Burnley, which will be played during the week commencing 27th August. As a result, Carl Fletcher's men face a 200 mile trip to Oxford for the away game on Saturday 25th, followed by the midweek cup tie at Turf Moor, a mere 311 miles from Home Park, before taking on Northampton at the Theatre of Greens on September 1st.
Considering the seeding system, it's hard to see how the Pilgrims could have got a worse draw.

Woof.
Argyle progressed to the second round of the League Cup (a rare event indeed), beating beleaguered Portsmouth 3-0 at Home Park. Johnny Gorman opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time to give the home side a deserved lead, before late strikes from Paris Cowan-Hall and Nick Chadwick helped paper over the cracks of a sometimes nervy second half performance. Pompey, who were reduced to putting out a virtual youth team, battled gamely throughout but rarely threatened, a couple of long range efforts aside.
