Former England U21s boss Peter Taylor had already been working with Town’s players for two days before yesterday’s announcement that he would not be joining the coaching staff, according to a report this morning.
Taylor is said to be angry after Roy Keane decided against his appointment at the 11th hour, reportedly telling him he had changed his mind "after he had thought about it".
Yesterday Town issued a statement confirming talks had taken place with the veteran coach but ruling out him joining the club.
Keane is now said to be looking for another experienced coach to join his backroom staff.
Meanwhile, full-back David Wright admits the players are embarrassed by the current winless situation: "We feel embarrassed.
"Last weekend we were just leaving our hotel and about to go for a walk when some people said ‘come on lads — are you going to get that first win?’
"Grant Leadbitter looked at me and said, ‘this is embarrassing’. I totally agree, but all I can say is that we’re improving and progressing and I feel that when one win comes we’ll go on a run.
"No one in the dressing room has been in this position before. It’s new to all of us, but we haven’t lost our self-belief or confidence.”
