The Robins manager addressed his position during Thursday's pre-match press conference, following a difficult period for a side which has struggled to build momentum during the opening weeks of the season.

Holloway is preparing for the weekend with a severely depleted squad, with nearly half his senior players unavailable through injury, suspension or international duty.

Results have done little to ease the pressure.
