Wayne Rooney remains confident he is the right person to lead Plymouth Argyle despite the club’s difficult run of results in the Championship.
The former England captain has come under increasing pressure as Plymouth continue to struggle for consistency, particularly away from home.
Softfootball understands Rooney acknowledged the team’s poor form but insisted he remains focused on turning things around.
Asked whether he should remain in charge, Rooney replied:
I believe I am. I know how football works, I’m not stupid, you need to pick up results.
The 39-year-old admitted the stark contrast between Plymouth’s home and away performances has been one of the biggest concerns throughout the campaign. He said:
The biggest frustration for me all season really is we look like two different teams at home and away. So psychologically is there an issue? It’s something we’re looking at.
Rooney also recognised the growing concerns among supporters, promising to remain accountable as he attempts to steer the club out of its difficult spell.
I’m sure the fans have questions, I’m sure a lot of people from the outside will, and I’ll do my best to answer them as best I can,
Rooney added.
