Your only ever three or four straight defeats from the sack in modern football, that applies at both ends of the table.
I don't place any material significance on tonight's result, but the manner of the defeat added to Saturday just adds fuel to the fire.
If we get three points on Saturday, that's the result that counts for me. Will we though?
Another defeat puts pressure on him but with the WC break coming, it may be his own luck in the timing.
I'd say it was knee-jerk to sack him but it wouldn't be a huge surprise, and wouldn't be any surprise at all, unfortunately, if things don't turn over the Christmas and New Year period.
It's a results business, excuses or not, and results have been between underwhelming and poor.
Saturday is key. With tarks and Coady back we won't be anywhere near as bad, but I'm not sure we have enough in attack to win and this is the big problem right now.
A striker and a winger are a must, as it looks like maupay isn't going to work.
