Plymouth Argyle head coach Wayne Rooney criticises his side's 'naive' defending in their 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City.
Plymouth Argyle head coach Wayne Rooney has criticised his side's "naive" defending in their 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City.
Rooney's side have now won just once in their past 10 games and have slipped to second from bottom in the Championship. "I think there were positives within the game - certainly an improvement on the last two games - but ultimately tonight was about the result and we fell short."Former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan was on the Argyle bench for the first time since being appointed Rooney's number two on Sunday
"Sometimes when you are going through a difficult moment those small things become big things and seem to go against you, and certainly they have tonight."We're probably missing our front three still, missing our captain until the new year - that's a big loss and any team would feel it in this league, the quality of players we're missing.
