Wayne Rooney's future as Plymouth Argyle head coach appears in further doubt following yet another chastening away defeat for the Pilgrims, who now find themselves rooted to the foot of the Championship table almost exaclty halfway through the 2024/25 campaign.

Josh Eccles scored twice in Coventry's 4-0 thumping of Sky Bet Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle that increases the pressure on Pilgrims boss Wayne Rooney.
