Reading FC manager Veljko Paunovic stayed coy on his future at the club after the Royals’ seventh consecutive Championship defeat.
The Royals have now lost their last seven Championship matches which still leaves them one place above the relegation zone.
“There is no need to answer that. If something has to happen, it happens,” said Paunovic.
“What we need here is to understand that no matter who is here and working here, has to do their best day in and day out.
“We need an openness to fix mistakes and need people who want to push forward and fight back. We need to stay away from negativity.
“It’s my responsibility and at some point I let certain things happen and provoked frustration and negativity around us and myself. I’ll keep looking to fix it
“I don’t want to be specific about it because we have to move forward.
“All the consequences after the Kidderminster game and what led to that.
“I don’t want to be specific because that will open up a conversation that is not needed now. What we do now is move forward.
“I’m not commenting on rumours. As long as I’m here, I’m here. I saw how the team played today.”
The Royals boss was pleased with the first-half performance, but reiterated there are still many problems that need to be fixed after they conceded two goals in quick succession at the end of each half.
He continued: “The first half was very good. We took the lead and played well. We have to acknowledge the first chance was for them and great save from Karl (Hein) in his first game in front of the home fans.
“It gave a boost to the fans who were fantastic today and we want to thank them. They were very helpful for the team
“Then we conceded. I’m upset that we could have prevented the corner and we thought it would be the last play of the half when we kicked a long ball.
“We conceded the first goal poorly. It wasn’t good at all. We have to fix it.
“The team came back and did well and in that moment, we conceded a second yellow card that hurt us. It hurt us immediately and we conceded a goal in the next action which was avoidable.
“It was a naive goal where we had possession and played unnecessary passes instead of going forward.
“We have a massive game Wednesday and we have to regroup and recover.”
Paunovic has not seen his team win since November, and they have not won at home since October when they beat bottom of the table Barnsley.
They now face a relegation six pointer in midweek away at Peterborough United.
