The players did that themselves, did you not watch the last two games they capitulated, no character, no bottle, no resilience. Not all Rooney, no way!

Ive got to be honest, having watched Ogbeta a few times, everytime he plays i feel that i could do a better job than him, he looks amature!
He’s defo not arrogant , pretty honest and humble. His natural talent , mixed with a raw street fighting up bringing expects more from the players. So should we. Tactics or coaching aside, bar the academy lads inc Rands the rest should step up.
In the post match interview WR looked and sounded a beaten man. Our players will know this and hopefully SH will see this. He’s run out of ideas and knows what’s coming.
I know Rooney is head coach and takes responsibility but to my mind the players have thrown him under the bus. No excuse for lack of fight.
WR was one of the most arrogant players to ever play in the Prem. And he may have been a bit "rags to riches" but that didnt make him humble at all.
Remember his petulant little winge at England fans during that utterly shambolic display at South Africa WC?
I'll give you "honest"... but thats not necessarily always something in his favour. Maybe he expects too much from players - and given that Victor Palsson was a Rooney signing - his judgement appears completely peed.
And so he should. He probably can’t believe how they have bottled the last two games. You cannot coach players to give 100% who give up when the going gets tough . Time for a mass clear out even if it means relegation. No players should be bigger than the club.
So are you having a "go" at the Herald for their headlines.Here to read for non Argyle TV folk.
Rooney calls Argyle defeat at Bristol City a 'big embarrassment'
The Pilgrims' boss has seen his side concede 10 goals in the last two away games against Norwich City and Bristol Citywww.plymouthherald.co.uk
Is this the best approach to our current dilemma?
Oh come on. It’s not lack of fight, it’s lack of confidence. That isn’t going to improve by Rooney coming out and saying “if I could have made 11 changes I would have”.
Whenever this club has been successful, it’s been with managers who have made the best that they can with limited resources in terms of personnel and who have created or sustained unbelievable in-the-trenches-together team spirit. It’s not really about coaching; it absolutely is about inspiring players, particularly young ones like most of our squad, and making them believe they are capable of more than they think they are. WR, for whatever reason, just doesn’t seem to be able to do that.
I think most fans will see the poor quality of our players as being the main reason for our performances. No leaders and weak.
Rubbish. It is a lack of fight, effort call it what you like. Cannot pass a ball, afraid to tackle , ambling around the pitch without a care in the world. Probably looking forward to the next international break.I wouldn’t want to “ be in the trenches “with any of them. If the players can’t be arsed why should we?
Our away form with full squad was not up to much .....?
I’ve been saying this from day dot. Watched him a few times for Bolton too. Got slated on here by some saying there is a player in there. I still can’t see it. Truly truly hopeless
It was much better than this at least. Competitive in most games and not losing by more than 1, bar Cardiff.
