Agree, looks like the dreaded vote of confidence, I think he's been at said stage for a little while now.
I personally think this run has done lots of damage. Some would argue that he has stabilised the team, but if you look at the fixtures and results, an uplift would have had us building a buffer between the rest of the chasing pack.
Are fixtures turn, Chelsea's too (for the better) and if UTD go on a run (regardless of how short-lived it is), they will also pose a threat.
