This post from the OinkUn caught my attention

I'm not sure about the Board bit though. Here goes -

Gunn was still the Manager until this afternoon. But he wanted to send out the same team as Saturday, including Theo the keeper to "redeem themselves" on Tuesday. Butterworth disagreed. The Board effectively told Gunn he had to send out Butterworth's team, with no Theo. The 4-0 win thus did not strengthen Gunn, it weakened him.

The players made a point of congratulating Alnwick very publicly after Yeovil, which shows what they thought. Gunn's days were numbered from that point.
