Ormondroyd's Hot Pants

6 games without a win, including 5 defeats.
Crewe in the cup, and we never win in the cup.
To me, this is the biggest litmus test of a managers strengths. Motivating players when they have to work to get them up for a game.
Sheff Utd & Scunthorpe can get up for cup games because they have managers who instill never say die attitudes.
How many cup games have we won under Todd (I recall Rochdale away last year).
If we lose that game, we have Oldham away and they are on a good run. That could be 8 games without a win.
Very few managers would survive that.
If we got to that point, I think the judgment day would be home to Bournemouth. A failure to win here would put us on 9 games with 2 away games coming up and probably in the bottom 5.
Hopefully we'll win the next 4 on the bounce and the above will not come true.
