Wayne Rooney says he is spurred on by the desire to turn Plymouth Argyle’s fortunes around.
The injury-hit Pilgrims have won just one of their past 10 matches and are second-from-bottom of the table.
The Argyle head coach takes his side to Championship leaders Sheffield United on Saturday in one of their toughest tests since the former England captain took over at Home Park in the summer.
“It’s not easy to enjoy when you’re losing, that’s simple,” Rooney said.
“Whatever sport you’re in you go through patches, and we’re going through one which is tough, there’s no denying that, but you want to show some fight and desire to get out of it.
“I think we can, and I’ve said this before, injuries don’t help any team in this league, but it’s not an excuse, I still expect us to be picking up results and expect us to get out of it.
“We’re looking at arguably the best team in the world over the last few years in Man City going through exactly the same.
“So when you lose some players and confidence is a little bit down it can be tough, but we need to find ways to get out of it.
“We’ve got a difficult game on Saturday, but what a platform that gives us if we get a positive result moving forward going into the Christmas period.”
