There is still a good opportunity to make this season a success, with the FA Cup representing a chance to win the trophy for the first time since 2018. However, the path to Wembley glory is fraught with difficulty. They face Leeds in the semi-final on April 26, a side they have failed to beat in the league this season following a 3-1 loss and a 2-2 draw.
Even if they progress past the Yorkshire side, a daunting final likely awaits. Rosenior’s side would potentially face Manchester City, a team that humbled them 3-0 on Sunday. Failing to secure both a top-five finish and silverware would leave the manager under immense scrutiny, testing the board's current resolve to stand by their man through this turbulent period.
