Lawrie Sanchez reacted to the boos and calls for his dismissal after the 6-3 home defeat by Burton Albion by telling a Press conference: "I fully understand the fans ... I hold my hands up ... if I was a fan I would be shouting myself ... ultimately as manager I am responsible for that shambles and that is a performance today that a lot of clubs change managers on".
In a lengthy interview with BBC London's Emma Jones, Sanchez denied that he was expecting the sack after he had used the expression:"Whoever comes or whoever is in charge on Monday morning will have to change it".
Asked by the radio reporter at the outset what had gone wrong he gave a two word reply ... "shambolic defending".
Sanchez, who took off central defender Daniel Leach after 38 minutes and brought on winger Mark Marshall, said: "That defending was not good enough for League 2. I can't find two in the centre half positions that work - new players need to be brought in".
The manager said that he had inherited most of the squad so; whoever came in or whatever happened from now on, the personnel needed changing.
"I'd like to think the chairman has been around the game long enough to think I can be the man for the job", he said.
At one stage he firmly declared: "We won't be in the Conference"
