Valerien Ismael is under increasing pressure as West Bromwich Albion manager after a run of poor results with players unconvinced by his approach and methods.
Supporters turned on the beleaguered boss during Wednesday’s dire 2-0 home defeat by Preston, attacking Ismael’s direct style of football and chanting the name of former manager Slaven Bilic.
Ismael had already raised eyebrows by leaving out England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone following suggestions of a disagreement between the pair.
Ismael reported as normal for training on Thursday yet Sportsmail understands a growing number of players are losing faith in him.
