Boss Mick McCarthy says he’s not worrying about his position as Town manager, despite the 17th-placed Blues having gone five games without a win or a goal.
Asked whether the current run has led to worries regarding his job, McCarthy said: "No, mine’s a fantastic job, I don’t worry about it at all.”
Has he received reassurance from owner Marcus Evans during the current spell? "Marcus, as I’ve said before, is always very, very supportive in what I have done and what I do and I know he believes that I make far more good decisions than bad ones, that’s why we’ve been 14th, ninth, sixth and seventh.
"And we’ve had a fair bit of success in the transfer market as well when you consider that.
"So, I don’t worry about my job. If people start wanting me out of the door there’s nothing I can do about it apart from work on the training ground with the players and try and change that.
"I prefer it when the fans are happy and they want to come to the ground and we don’t have frowns on our faces, we have smiles on our faces and they’re cheering us.
"The only way we’ll do that is by scoring. We’ve got a game on Tuesday night and let’s hope we can start that process.
"I don’t think I’ve suddenly become a bad manager. They might think ‘He’s not the bloke I want here any more’, but there’s not a damn thing I can do about that.”
Might owners at other Championship clubs have pulled the trigger after a similar run of form? "I don’t look around and think like that at all. It’s a different ball game [at some other clubs].
"Go back four years. If the club were in this position four years ago, whose phone did they ring?”
Does McCarthy believe he has changed as a manager during the intervening time?
"Apparently I have. I’ve got lousy now, I’m no good, I can’t do my job,” he ruefully reflected.
