Midfielder Ivan Campo has suggested manager Sammy Lee could be in "serious trouble" should Bolton Wanderers fail to win both of their next two games.
Lee has come under pressure after three successive defeats at the start of the new Premier League season has left his side at the bottom of the fledgling table.
Campo claims the club remains in a state of depression following Sam Allardyce's decision to step down last season, but has urged his team-mates to ease the pressure on new boss Lee with back-to-back victories starting with the visit of Reading on Saturday.
"Everybody misses Sam Allardyce. The team is not well. We've lost three matches and it seems to me there is a very sad atmosphere in the dressing room," Campo told the Daily Mirror.
"As players we have to share the responsibility but we've changed things so dramatically overnight.
"That was always going to be a gamble especially when you change such an experienced coach for somebody who has always been a number two.
"In an ideal world everybody would have to give Sammy Lee time and everybody would have to be patient. But we do not have any time.
"The next two games are very important. If we don't come up with six points, we're in serious trouble."
