DS obviously has a number of factors not going his way so far this season - possibly forced non-PL experience in the dozen players we picked up in the Summer followed by some horrific injuries to some of our best players.
It's never going to be easy for him in those circumstances and I'm not willing to toss the baby out with the bathwater yet with respect to giving him the bullet, although the team selection against Citeh had my head in my hands I must admit.
TBF, you can't do ifs, buts and maybes on those four six-pointer games, we picked up 1.5 pts per game, period, and that's enough to see us safe this season - the next game being Leicester away where we did really well then Citeh when we were mullered.
I strongly suspect this will be the pattern for the rest of the season - there's too many destabilising factors already at play (new/young/inexperienced/injury replacement players) for it not to be in all fairness.
Someone may well be able to come in and do a New Broom and magically get us two points per game over the next few months but there's no guarantee of that, particularly with this selection of players to work with.
