Clean the hole up, get rid of the loose drywall. Take another piece of drywall 2 inches bigger than the hole. On the back side, cut a circle slightly smaller than the hole to be patched just through the back paper. Cut through the paper from the circle to the outside edge of the piece. Break it on these lines and peal the plaster off of the front paper leaving it attached to the center. When you get it all off around the center you have a piece that fills the hole with a 1 inch border around it. Spread joint compound on the paper flap, put it in the hole and spread the compound out under the paper till it is smooth. After you have it sealed down all the way around, top coat the whole patch with compound, let dry and sand. It may take a couple of coats to get it smooth.
