He has brought them five points in four league outings where he has been present &#8211; compared to the three in 16 matches before he joined.

If it wasn\u2019t for him [pointing at goalkeeper Ben Barnes], it would be six or seven.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Even before the match had got underway, Chimbonda was tearing into his players as he took issue with their preparation.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;That warm-up was f\u2014ing shocking. Seriously, listen to me. That 10 minutes is important. But that was so f\u2014ing sloppy. That was crap. We cannot warm up like that again. We have to be better, much f\u2014ing better.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>After the humiliating loss &#8211; the fifth time they have shipped six goals this campaign &#8211; he challenged his players to prove that they are in the fight with him. &#8216;Football is not f\u2014ing nice,&#8217; he said. &#8216;I love all of you. I would go to war for all of you.

I\u2019m really pleased they gave me that opportunity to express myself.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There are still plenty of games to go.
