Plymouth remain in the League Two play-off places despite a goalless draw at Oxford United.
Argyle came up against a side who were unbeaten in their last four and who had the best chances of the match.
Striker Patrick Hoban sliced wide and fired a volley over from eight yards out in the first half.
The visitors also went close in the first half when ex-West Brom forward Reuben Reid's powerful header came back off the underside of the bar.
