"Very disappointed. It's been an unacceptable 50 games. I think there's probably no one in the organisation that does not feel that way. And these guys have got to turn it around."

"We all want, we've all seen how painful these games are. And I see it clearly, painful for everybody in the organisation, but I'm confident that we'll turn it around."

"No, there won't be drastic changes. I think this is the right team. We've had, a couple of times we've had to reset the team and make drastic changes, but I don't see that happening this year. I think this is the right team, they just have to perform."
