Problems continue to mount at Home Park with the Pilgrims’ injury list growing longer after Mustapha Bundu was forced off with a hamstring issue during the first half against Coventry – his replacement, Callum Wright, was sent off in the 87th minute to compound a miserable afternoon.. Despite the challenging circumstances, Rooney praised the performance of 16 year old academy product Tegan Finn who played the entire match against Coventry. When questioned by Plymouth Live if he was the right person to lead Argyle forward, Rooney responded: “Yeah, I believe I am. I know how football works, I’m not stupid. You need to pick up results.”. He added: “The biggest frustration for me is, all season really, we look like two different teams at home and away. So psychologically is there an issue? It’s something we are looking at and trying to help with it.. “And of course, I have said this all season, we need players coming in. I think that’s clear. The one plus I feel today was young Tegan. I thought he had a couple of good moments in the game.”
