64. Having replaced their manager to change their fortunes earlier in the season, it has not panned out how the owners wanted.
That will of course raise the unavoidable conversation amongst fans wondering whether Steve Cooper could have done better.
It is the game of Russian roulette that you play changing your leader during the season, it is not looking like ending in a positive way for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy should be telling their players that they have one crack at this season and to go out their and show the hunger of a team who are not willing to end this journey at the first hurdle.

No side promoted from the Championship are going to be able to keep out the attacking talent on offer in the top-flight which makes being able to score goals that much more important.
