With a title challenge out of the question, Wilcox has told the players the new goal is to finish the season as Champions League qualifiers.
A source told The Sun: “Wilcox has spoken with the players in the wake of Amorim’s departure.
“He’s explained that the season has had some disappointments so far, but urged the players to come together and try and sustain some good form in the second half of the season.
“Qualifying for the Champions League is the target and it’s attainable. That was the message.”
