Sheffield United 2-0 Plymouth: Wayne Rooney oversees a fourth consecutive defeat before urging his disappointed players to 'keep digging in' All an exasperated Wayne Rooney could do at the end of this one was turn to Mike Phelan, his new assistant, and wonder just how Plymouth were on the losing side again.
Wayne Rooney saw his Plymouth Argyle side fall to a 2-0 loss at Sheffield United on Saturday.
The buoyant away support set off for this 500-mile-plus trip at 4am in hope rather than expectation but the reality was a performance brimming with reasons why Rooney can keep Plymouth up.
Here, against the league leaders, the worst team in the Championship on the road bettered one of the division's best in almost every metric except the one that counts: goals.
This was unquestionably one of Plymouth's best performances in months and still it earned them nothing.
