Next two games are crucial. Charlton and Bolton at home. Lose both and he's out the door and I think 1 out of 4 he will be likely to be gone as well I'm afraid. Two wins or one win and a draw and he'll be given a couple more games. This squad is capable of playing much better than this, but Powells remit from Hoyle was to motivate and get the best out of this group of players. Powell has not been helped by his best players being sold from under him (déjà vu much) but he seems to have failed to get the best out of them but he seems to have failed this crucial objective. Lillis appeared to be able to do that, inspire some confidence and freedom of expression and bunn blossomed under his stewardship and I don't think we've seen that form from him since. If we're going to stay up we need a manager like Lillis or Lillis himself to make the players fight for every point and have some real belief. Players cannot be kept in the team when they compound the mistakes they make week on week or have Poor form that adds nothing to the team. (Smith, whitehead et al)
