Steven Whittaker wants Norwich City caretaker boss Neil Adams to be handed the job fulltime.
Adams is still searching for his first points when he takes his side to managerless Manchester United on Saturday after losses to Fulham and Liverpool.
"I hope he is the manager here next season," said Whittaker, who believes the players are benefiting from a positive playing style and a higher intensity in training.
"A lot of the boys had a boost, training's been a lot higher tempo than before and that's taken it into the games as well.
"I think there's been a big change the way we're playing, the positive approach that we've got and he's got is rubbing off on the boys and hopefully we can get the results.
"We've done well in the two games he's been in charge of so far, but the results haven't quite matched the performances, so that's something we're looking to improve on.
"We've got the performance, but without getting the points on the board that can push us up the league a little.
"Three points in this division's massive and it's still tight down there. We could go up a couple of positions with one win."
