'No days off' for Argyle over Christmas - Rooney

Wayne Rooney has led his Plymouth Argyle side to four Championship wins this season

Plymouth Argyle boss Wayne Rooney says his side will not get a day off between now and their final game of the Christmas period.

The Pilgrims are bottom of the Championship and face four games in 10 days - three away from home.

Argyle are on a seven-game winless run, although they impressed in their 2-0 loss at league leaders Sheffield United last week and again in their 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough on Saturday, where they led three times.

"There's no days off from now until 4 January, so it's a really busy time," Rooney said.

"I really like this period where the players come together.

"It's an opportunity for us to try and put points on the board.

"But it requires a lot of work, a lot of everyone being professional, everyone making sure they're doing the right recovery, making sure we're getting the balance right in training and having the players as fresh as they can be going into games."
