Alan Sheehan has led Swansea to their worst points total after 15 games since their relegation from the Premier League.
After picking up 23 points in his 13 games as caretaker head coach last season, Sheehan has found trouble getting results so far this campaign.
His side are 18th in the Championship going into the final international break of the year.
We asked supporters if Sheehan was the right man to lead the Swans out of this slump.
Here’s a selection of your responses.
Geraint: We have a manager who was given money in the summer to strengthen, but he does not seem to know his strongest team. One week he will not play Zan Vipotnik, and then on Saturday he does not play the wingers to supply the crosses for him. Bring in Michael Carrick.
Steff: Swansea have set themselves up with a largely inexperienced squad at Championship level, and that squad is overseen by an inexperienced manager. I feel the rebuild project is only at the very early stages and Sheehan deserves more time to try and get the best out of the players available. The club obviously had an idea of what their long term project should look like and felt Sheehan was the man to deliver this.
Chris: It’s a hard league and for some reason things are not clicking. The players are good enough but I think Sheehan is under pressure and listening to others rather than galvanising his team and outlining his perfect 11. Give him five more games with a goal of 10+ points. If he does that then great, if not we have a problem.
Harry: I never thought Sheehan was the right man for the permanent job, and now here we are drifting towards the same old cycle. Fire the manager, get someone new in and then reset the entire squad in summer… AGAIN.
Robert: Alan Sheehan had the chance to make a name for himself at Swansea but has not delivered. He has to go. As a club with many loyal supporters we deserve better. We should be at least be challenging for promotion to the Premier League The humiliation of being well beaten by Ipswich was the last straw.
Richard: Yes, the Swans should stick with Sheehan as it will make no difference if they change the manager. The Swans will always be an average team in the Championship and a top-half finish is more realistic than all the crazy talk of being in the play-offs at the end of the season.
Mike: I’m all for giving someone time to make things right but we’re going backwards at the moment. If Sheehan thinks Ronald and Liam Cullen coming on at half time will improve us when we’re getting battered by an average team then he’s looking for the door out. Our football is non-progressive and awful to watch at the moment and something needs to change. I don’t think he can turn us around.
