"It's disappointing reading of the table when you see them at the bottom but I think you have to keep the faith in Brian Carey and his backroom staff," he said.

"Brian has made one or two additions to the squad which I thought would make them better, but at the moment results aren't going their way.

"There is immense pressure. You are in a winning related business where you have to win football games to take the pressure off you.

"This is a difficult time and this will show how good Brian is. Can they get the results turned around?"

Thomas believes the players are feeling the pressure and are struggling to cope with it.

"I think some of the players are feeling the pressure from the fans' anger and disappointment," he continued.

"It's how you adapt and maybe that's the telling moment that they can't handle the pressure."

Can they get out of the mess they are in? Only it seem to Thomas if they players improve.

"There is enough quality in the squad, you just maybe have to look at the team that goes out week in week out and look at the individuals. Are they doing enough?

"I've watched Brian on the training ground and he puts a lot of effort into it, but when it gets on to the pitch it's up to the players and you have to blame the players at the moment for not doing it."
