Brentford and Plymouth shared the points in a disappointing goalless draw at Griffin Park.

The Bees opened the brighter, but the visitors almost broke the deadlock when a mistake by defender Scott Marshall on the halfway line left Marino Keith clear.

But his left-foot effort from the edge of the box beat keeper Paul Smith and hit the right-hand upright.

Rowan Vine forced a fine save from visiting keeper Luke McCormick two minutes later and after the break Argyle's David Friio headed over.

Then a Steve Adams 30-yard strike was brilliantly turned aside for a corner by Smith.

The best chance of the game came 13 minutes from time when Stephen Hunt for the home side let a golden opportunity slip when he woefully missed the target from eight yards.

Vine was yellow-carded for a foul on Argyle defender David Worrell and in the dying moments Brentford's Stephen Evans and Argyle's David Norris were both booked for a tussle.
