Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney did not hold back in his assessment of his team’s performance during the recent 3-3 draw against Preston North End. “I’m angry, to be honest. That performance is nowhere near good enough. I was really disappointed for an hour of that game. It didn’t look like us at all. We were easy to play against,” he vented.

Rooney emphasized the lack of intensity, stating, “We weren’t putting tackles in, we weren’t getting to the ball. I’m obviously pleased we get a point out of the game, but I can’t accept that performance.”

Reflecting on the moment his team fell behind 3-0, he added, “At 3-0, you are looking at it and you are concerned. I tried to get attacking players on and get more balls in the box. We didn’t do that enough, which is something we have worked on over the last couple of days, and we didn’t do that at all for an hour. Really pleased to get a point at the end, but the performance was nowhere near good enough.”

Rooney concluded with a call to action: “We have to keep working. There have been games this season where we have been really good. The last three we have hit a little bit of a blip, so we need to snap out of it because today could have been a lot worse.” With the pressure mounting, all eyes will be on the Pilgrims as they prepare for their crucial match against Leeds United.
