WAYNE Rooney admitted he was ‘really disappointed’ with the way Plymouth Argyle conceded both goals in their 2-1 defeat by Swansea City at Home Park.
Rooney stated the Pilgrims had been working in training at getting better at stopping crosses and defending their own penalty area but he felt they did not do that well enough against Swansea, whose only two shots on target during the game resulted in goals.
Jay Fulton put the Welsh side ahead on the stroke of half-time and Liam Cullen doubled their advantage on the hour mark before Mustapha Bundu replied for the home side in the 79th minute. Argyle dropped one position to 23rd in the Championship after just their second home defeat of the season and are two points above bottom-of-the-table Hull City, who hosted Watford last night.
Rooney said: “I felt first half we were the better team. After maybe 10 minutes, we played some really good stuff actually, had a few chances, a few half chances, and didn’t take them.
