Slade on a difficult run of matches...

It is tough when you play the calibre of clubs we are facing, they are two very difficult games for us.

Players are well aware that the next 10 games are important for a lot of reasons. There is more restructuring to come.

The next opportunity will be this summer. It’s important they all work hard if they want to be part of the process going forward.

I don’t have points targets in mind, but it would be nice if we could earn an average of two per match. That would be decent.

i'm alarmed at how slade is too deferential to poor / average teams that realistically, we should be beating. thats not to say we have a divine right to win any match, just that i think its defeatist to play up teams that man for man, we are better than.

i think his negativity gets through to the players too. he has spent his career as the underdog and so its understandable that he's carried on that attitude, but he's been here a while now and needs to adapt to higher expectations if he is to succeed here.

Spot on :thumbup:

Slade just getting his excuses in early.

With his lower league mentality every team we play seems like Barcelona to him.

The man is an idiot.

Slade winds me up he speaks as if our club has just come up from League 1 ! And we are the underdogs in every game . Slade may have just come up but we were always competitive in this league something Slade can't seem to grasp
