Would performances in the upcoming windows bare any weighting to potential contract renewal, or will the sole focus be on the lead up to and eventual world cup performance? Could short term memories and back-to-back 3 nil at-home drubbings over 138th ranked India be enough to speak louder than a complete mental collapse at the exact halfway mark of the All Whites tournament?

Genuinely curious on the opinions of fellow fans here - If in the next window we were to take the learnings from the WC and surprise upset a higher ranked team, and also put in a competent could have gone either way draw against another 40-80 ranked team. Follow this up with a big make a statement back to back wins at home in November which justifies the general turning up of their noses reaction people have had to the of the quality of opposition selected for the Nov fixtures. Would people be comfortable with a Baze contract renewal or are we still gunning for a new coach regardless of what occurs across the next potential 4-6 fixtures before the years end?
