The 2015-16 campaign was a season of soaring ambition for Plymouth Argyle as The Pilgrims, under manager Derek Adams, secured a coveted 5th-place finish in League Two and a spot in the promotion play-offs. Spearheading the attack was the new Irish talisman Graham Carey, who was voted Player of the Season after delivering a dazzling array of goals and assists in his debut year, ably supported by the prolific Jake Jervis. The season was ultimately defined by a dramatic play-off run that saw them triumph over rivals Portsmouth to reach Wembley, culminating in a heartbreaking 2-0 defeat to AFC Wimbledon in the final, which remains a poignant chapter in the club's modern history.
