The concept of 'Fergie time' is alive and well and has moved to Home Park and is now operating under the guise of 'Rooney time.'
During Sir Alex Ferguson's reign as Manchester United manager, including Wayne Rooney's playing spell at Old Trafford, the Red Devils were famed for scoring goals late on in games and Plymouth Argyle are developing a habit of last gasp strikes.
On September 14, a goal from skipper Joe Edwards in stoppage time sealed a 3-2 win over league leaders Sunderland, which was the Pilgrims' first win of Rooney's reign.
Then just under a fortnight later, Argyle won 3-1 against Luton Town, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, with winger Ibrahim Cissoko completing a brace in injury time in a Friday night encounter at Home Park which was televised on Sky TV.
There was no late drama when the Pilgrims defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-1 with last season's leading scorer Morgan Whittaker turned home a headed cross from central midfielder Adam Randell in the 97th minute, shortly after Rooney had been sent to the stands by referee James Linington.
Whittaker's strike sealed a third successive home win for Argyle which moves them up to 14th in the Championship table, as the Pilgrims look to prove the pre-season doubters who tipped them for relegation wrong.
