HEADS have rolled at Plymouth with Ian Foster being sacked following another dismal result.
Championship outfit Plymouth find themselves precariously placed above the relegation zone.
They are just one point above the drop with six games of the season left to play.
The Pilgrims have not won a league game since February 24, a run that includes five home games in a row without a win or goal.
Foster's team was booed off at full-time following Plymouth's 1-0 defeat to Bristol City on Easter Monday.
Their latest defeat was the final straw for Pilgrim's chiefs to pull the plug on Steven Gerrard's former Al-Ettifaq assistant after just three months in charge.
