Daniel Childs: My feeling around Graham Potter at this point is that I probably still am in a minority of people who can see why you would keep him for the rest of the season. If you going to keep him beyond the two reported 'make or break' games regardless of results then I think you do just keep him for the rest of the season.
However, I am now at a point where there has to be some accountability. There has to some responsibility on those in the dugout, that they aren't just getting a free pass each week to consistently lose games.
The feeling around Chelsea as a club, not just internally with those players and the impact that this [situation] is having on particularly those new and younger players that they've invested in and what's that's doing for their develop. But also, the mood around Stamford Bridge is getting worse and worse. Those are very real concerns.
The lack of joy, the lack of inspiration, the lack of a sense that these players really are going above and beyond for Potter, the chopping and changing, the lack of a coherent style, and the lack of spirit and character. You can't bat away those criticisms anymore because [watching the team] is just so unenjoyable.
The story that the next two games are 'make or break' shows that there seems to be changing of mood in the hierarchy and an understanding that you can't just keep losing over and over again.
