Rooney's team lost 2-0 to Oxford United on Sunday.

Argyle have drawn three and lost six of their last nine fixtures and sit bottom of the Championship table, four points from safety.

Rooney and his team were booed off at the Kassam Stadium, something the former Manchester United and England바카라 웹사이트striker claims he sympathises with but does not take personally.

He told BBC Sport:바카라 웹사이트"I think the criticism is normal with the results we're going through.

"You have to feel that you can turn it around. I'm going to go back, watch the game back, evaluate the game and prepare for Bristol City.

"I understand the fans' reaction. I've been there myself when I was young when you want to see your team win.

"When you're losing games as we're losing them, that frustration is there. I get it and I don't take it personally."

Rooney could not answer whether he feels safe in his position, having guided Argyle to only four victories from 23 league matches this term.

"That's a question for the board," he said. "I understand how football works so all I can do is keep trying to work as hard as I can.

"For all of us, we're trying to do the right things and help us win games. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case over the last few weeks."

Plymouth host Bristol City on New Year's Day, having not won at Home Park since November 5.
