That run of form has seen them drop from the top of the table on 26 December to their current spot of seventh, one point above the teams chasing a play-off place. In a statement to fans,, external the club said they "absolutely acknowledge" that recent results had "not met the elevated standards we have set for ourselves" and understood "the urgency to improve the situation".
