' Russell Slade on our chances '

Steve Tucker:What are your play-off chances now?



Russell Slade: Slim, but still possible. We are not in play-off form, that’s right, but you could say that about Ipswich, you could say that about Birmingham. You could say that about Sheffield Wednesday. None of us are in the form we would have wanted to hit. That’s why the door has been left open slightly. We must never give up. Whilst there’s an opportunity you have to see it as a challenge and try to seize it. We have to have belief and whilst it’s a possibility we have to search for points. It’s important we control what we can do, we have to do it against Bolton, to ensure we get back to winning ays. We have to take care of ourselves.

That's right Mr Slade, blame the players and never blame yourself for not knowing how to change a game or having a plan B. I admire what he has done in terms of cost cutting etc etc, but come on, does anybody really think he can take us any further because I don't?

I'm still hopeful he can.
