Desperate is right. Panic, shortsighted, ridiculous and embarrassing also seem appropriate descriptions. It is now true in football that every manager is potentially three straight defeats from the bullet. How can any of them hope to re-shape a squad and effect long term changes when there is so much pressure to win every next game? Hypothetically speaking, how many straight defeats would it take before the love-in with Warne ended and people started calling for him to go? If we lost our next three games and fell into the bottom three for Christmas I reckon there would be people asking for a change ahead of the transfer window. It has become a bit of a farce.
