" Think of the positives as a whole not just one game "

Yes we were poor tonight but no team plays well every game

3 clean sheets in a row

5 games unbeaten

We are sitting just 3 points off the play off places

We have a a few injuries to key players Who are not far off a return to the team

I'm happy with the way the season is going , stay around the playoffs then make a late charge with a full squad :ayatollah:

I'm with you.

Not too impressed at out lack of goals of late, but we aren't conceding, which is the main thing. And we've got genuine goal scorers just waiting to come back (that includes Turner and Manga by the way!).

A win next time out and that's 8 from 12 since the international break, which isn't a bad stat at all. The teams above us will falter when they get injuries and suspensions, so if we can grind out these points whilst we go through our first spell of injuries, then we'll be ready to pounce.

Normally try do, but last night, in front of Sky TV, we were shite. Other teams must relish playing us after that performance. :old:

It was an awful day at the office but you are right we came out of it with something and we are still in the mix somehow.

Yes look at the positives but we must also address the negatives and some of those negatives have to be ditched and Ravel has had his chances and produced nothing, he has to go if we are to progress.

The chance is there for us we have to be bold enough to go for it. If we get Jones back or even Macheda they have to start finding the back of the net as a priority. Also God help us if David Marshall gets injured or is sold in January.

The main positive for me was that I recorded the game and it is on my sky planner. If I have any trouble sleeping at night I can just play this back, and I'm sure that after less than 5 minutes I should be sleeping like a baby.

Even with a fully fit squad - Im not sure Slade would know what to do with it.

I sit alongside from the dugout - I watch Slade, what he does, what he says his communication etc.

There is nothing there - not sure exactly what it is he does that affects the on field performance

Its Trollope that seems to be the one calling the shots

Midfield looks imbalanced , Ralls and Pilkington need to come back in and Revell is a trier, but we've got 3 strikers injured who would all normally be selected before him.

Jones, Saadi and Macheda.

Not time to panic yet

We were very lucky not to concede and lets be honest we never look like scoring...I struggle to see the positives
