Plymouth Argyle head coach Wayne Rooney says the club’s junior team could have done better than his first XI in <\/b>the 6-1 loss at Norwich City.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The Pilgrims were second-best for much of the game and could have conceded more goals had Norwich not been as wasteful with their chances, especially in the first half. <\/p>\n

It was the former England captain’s heaviest loss since taking over at Home Park in the summer.<\/p>\n

Argyle have still to win a game away from home this season and are two points outside the relegation places with three of the four sides below them having games in hand. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were nowhere near good enough \u2013 we are down to the bare bones with injuries but that is no excuse,\u201d said Rooney – who was missing players including captain Joe Edwards, Northern Ireland goalkeeper Connor Hazard and forwards Ibrahim Cissoko, Morgan Whittaker and Muhamed Tijani. <\/p>\n

“But if players want to come in the team and stay in the team then they need to perform better than that.<\/p>\n

“I could probably put the under-18 team out there and they wouldn’t concede six goals, so I’m very disappointed, angry, frustrated and the next 24-48 hours are not going to be very nice for the players, but we need to get to the bottom of why this is happening.”<\/p>\n

Rooney says he will try and understand why his team are so poor away from home – with just two draws from their nine matches outside Devon this season. <\/p>\n

“Getting that win and better results away from home – we know it’s difficult in this league for teams to win away from home – but we have to be a lot better than we were tonight,” the 39-year-old added.<\/p>\n

“I feel for the fans who came here because I know the distance they’ve travelled to get behind the players and I know for any fan when you see your team put in that performance and get that result you’re not going to be pleased about it.<\/p>\n

“I’m dealing with it, I’m trying to get to the bottom of why every now and again we’re having these results and hopefully I can do that sooner rather than later.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
