Wayne Rooney is expected to be replaced if he fails to rebound in the next two games.

Plymouth, led by Rooney as a manager, lost 0-4 in the 18th round of the English Championship (second division) in the 2024-2025 season at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol, England on the 1st (Korea time). The defeat kept Plymouth at 17 points, keeping the gap with the relegation zone at two points.

After the game Rooney brought up his public criticism of the players. Players who play in youth teams also strongly criticized the players, saying they would not give up such runs.

But the reality is different. Fans are furious that Rooney lacks the quality of being a manager, not a player's problem. The majority of public opinion has already turned against Rooney. After the match, England's Mirror said on the 1st "Looney was called upon by fans of his team to resign after a 0-4 defeat by Bristol. Rooney is still winless on the road this season." Fans are already calling for Rooney to be replaced.

The Plymouth club also seems to have established a position that any further sluggishness is difficult to tolerate. The British Telegraph said on the 2nd that "Rooney is fighting for his future as Plymouth coach after a nightmare result. There are currently two potentially significant home games ahead against Oxford United and Swansea City. There are no immediate plans for changes, but the two matches between Oxford and Swansea are expected to have a decisive impact on Rooney's future."

The Plymouth club also considered the fact that the team is struggling due to the large number of injuries in the defense, but they think they can't wait for Rooney if the results don't come out anymore. They have no choice but to be conscious of the public opinion of their fans.

The Telegraph said "The club's leaders are aware of the injury problem, but there are growing concerns about the recent results. He lost eight of his 10 away games. Fans began turning their backs on Rooney, who took over in May. Some fans are calling for the return of Steven Schumacher, who left for Stoke City after leading Plymouth to an English Ligue 1 (tertiary league) championship in 2023. There is no doubt that Rooney is under extreme pressure,' he said, explaining the current situation.

Rooney was on the verge of being replaced, but he was calm for now. He "I've been criticized since I was a 16-year-old boy. All I want is a weapon that can fight back. "The last two games have been the toughest and most difficult weeks of our managerial career, so we have to look forward to getting through this situation."I vowed to get through the crisis."

However, Rooney did not seem to consider himself a problem. It's time for the players to show their capabilities." He "Ultimately it's my responsibility. I take full responsibility for the outcome and choose a team and choose tactics. But now they have come to a stage where they have to get up outside as well as in the locker room, and show more."

Will players be able to meet Rooney's demands. Plymouth have only one win in their last nine games. Plymouth is showing the worst defense in the league with 38 runs in 18 league games.
