Ian Baraclough was met with chants of 'cheerio' after Northern Ireland ’s latest defeat.
Their Nations League winless run was extended to 13 games by Thursday’s 3-2 loss in Kosovo.
And the 500 travelling supporters were left furious – calling for Baraclough’s head. Rangers star Steven Davis copped flak as well for giving away a penalty – prompting a raging reaction from TV commentator Iain Dowie.
But manager Baraclough insists his Northern Ireland side remains on track – despite winning only won three of the 19 competitive games during his reign.
The former Motherwell boss said: "You're trying to build performances, build that connectivity, build confidence within the group, players that are going into games maybe doubting if they're right at this level, so you're trying to give them that confidence that they are good enough.
"We don't like the result but the performance was there, I don't think they let down the supporters in what they gave in terms of fight and energy and the ability to go and break down a Kosovan side and create chances and put them on the back foot.
"For me you take that into Sunday's game, you get the performance right, you cut out the little basic errors that have cost us."
