What a difference a week makes in terms of the England team and the identity of their next permanent manager/head coach.
Scroll back seven days and Lee Carsley was entering his second international window in interim charge and having generated positive headlines for the attacking intent shown by his side in their Nations League openers against Ireland and Finland.
One week on and, a chaotic display at home to Greece followed by some mixed messaging to the media later, Carsley now looks likely to return to his role with the Under 21s while the FA pursue other options, Thomas Tuchel having become the clear favourite with the bookmakers.
As always, the praise that was dished out in September was probably over the top, likewise the criticism that has come Carsley's way this week, although his selection for the Greece game may live with him for a long time.
England's stodgy victory in Finland at least keeps alive their hopes of winning their Nations League group and avoiding a promotion play-off that would delay the start of World Cup qualifying.
And if Carsley does head back to working with the U21s then he will have a major tournament to look forward to in 2025 as qualification for the European Championships in Slovakia has been secured by the holders during the current international window.
