WAYNE Rooney believes he can turn around bottom-of-the-table Plymouth Argyle's fortunes in the Championship but knows his side need to start picking up better results amid increasing criticism of his leadership..
Rooney witnessed another dismal away-day display from the struggling Pilgrims as they lost 4-0 away to Coventry City and admitted after the game it was important to get their player recruitment right in the forthcoming January transfer window to give them the best chance of escaping relegation trouble.# Argyle's already lengthy injury list was added to when Mustapha Bundu went off with a hamstring issue late in the first half against Coventry and the substitute who replaced him, Callum Wright, was sent-off in the 87th minute and will start a three-match suspension when the Pilgrims travel to Oxford United on Sunday.
