  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    After a disastrous evening for Rooney's troops at Carrow Road, where they suffered a 6-1 defeat to Norwich, they failed to script a turnaround and succumbed to another heavy defeat at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon. After a goalless first half, Plymouth capitulated in the second as they shipped in four goals in just over 33 minutes.

    WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    The loss saw them slip to the 21st position in the league standings and fans are desperate to see him sacked.

    @YouBearsssssss: "I feel sorry for Plymouth Fans.... Rooney IS A fraud! We tried to warn you. He starts by slagging the Team off....then he starts on the Fans!! I'd get rid now before its too late He's a joke.. #PAFC#BCFC#RooneyOUT"

    @JoeRendle wrote: "League one incoming. Get Dewsnip and Rooney gone ASAP. Total joke of a club at the moment."

    @bsmithgreens suggested: "It was always an experiment getting Rooney, it has not worked and it's time for the board to admit they got it wrong and move forward."

    @PAFCLopez wrote: "Despite what Rooney says in his press conferences it's clear we gave up before we even kicked off today. Our tactical setup in the last 10 games has been appalling, injuries will save Rooney his job for a while but relegation and his sacking is inevitable."

    Whereas, @JoePJ27 wrote: "Rooney is clueless when it comes to changing tactics! Time up maybe #pafc."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Plymouth have now conceded 38 goals in 18 matches - the worst defensive record in the league. They are winless in their last four matches and find themselves just two points above the drop zone, which may send alarm bells ringing in the board room.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR PLYMOUTH?

    Time is running out for Rooney at Plymouth as the fans want immediate results. They will be back in action against Oxford United on Saturday in the Championship.
