Nancekivell has belief in this Argyle squad to avoid drop

KEVIN Nancekivell has declared the Plymouth Argyle players are all in it together as the fight against relegation from the Championship goes into the final six games of the season.

The long-serving first team coach added the squad were 'desperate to get this club out of the situation we are in' after dropping to 21st in the table, one point above the drop zone, following a run of eight defeats from the last 11 games.

Those results led to the sacking of head coach Ian Foster, with director of football Neil Dewsnip and Nancekivell placed in charge of the team for the rest of the campaign.

That starts with the Sky-televised away game against Rotherham United tonight.

Nancekivell said: "I know, and Neil knows, there is enough talent in that changing room to get ourselves out of this position we are in. So I have got total belief in the squad, I have got total belief in everybody in that changing room and the staff that we are working with.

"We just need to go and produce it on the pitch. The supporters have got a huge role to play in that. They were fantastic for us against Bristol City. I know how much they want us to survive. The players know how much they want us to survive, and we are good to go. We are ready."
