Daft - that's how David Wetherall describes talk of City manager Jim Jefferies facing the chop.

Wetherall feels the frustration of the club's recent results as much as anybody. But he dismisses suggestions that a change at the top would be the answer.

"We still support Jim, he's a good manager and a good man.

"Everybody's fully behind him and you can see that from the vast majority of matches.

"It's just that he needs a lucky break.

"The confidence is suffering and managers are judged on results.

"But look at the performances he has been getting out of us.

"Talk of pressure on him is daft."

City's Valley Parade clash with Watford tomorrow is followed by another massive home game on Tuesday against Wimbledon.

Jefferies needs to turn results round quickly - but Wetherall revealed there is no sign of anxiety in training.

He said: "I don't think the manager has changed and we are still doing the same things on the training ground to get results. It's the nature of this league that when you get two games every week, it can be difficult to stop a bad run.

"But Jim has stayed bubbly and kept our spirits up at the training ground and in the dressing room."

Jefferies maintains morale in the camp is high as City look for a chink of light to end their October gloom.

The City boss said: "There is no problem contrary to what some people have said.

"The players are not down and they are still right behind everything. They cannot believe the bad luck we have had but they will pick themselves up and work harder.

"They are a great bunch and the boys are obviously desperate to turn it round. But we are fine at the club.

"We've had three away games and in two of those we were excellent and deserved to win.

"Unfortunately we're snatching at things in front of goal and we're not getting that bit of luck we deserve.

"At Millwall on Tuesday we gave them three goals and could still have won comfortably.

"But a few things are coming back off the post and keepers are making great saves, while at the other end everything the other team are hitting seems to go in."
