Not as notable as the slump when we discarded the back 3 but unimpressive nonetheless. It's a poor run of form, which has seen us only see off a struggling Bolton side.
Think we were very unfortunate v Norwich and Boro(which were 6 pointers and could ultimately cost us), but whilst there's still enough time to catch up the ones above, we really have to up our game. A solid run of four or five wins in a row or so is needed if we are to make the top 2. Optimistically, Leeds are in a bad run despite their position and may be on the slide. I think we can see off Sheff U from the teams above, hope Norwich and Leeds get the jitters, and hope none of those below come on a storming run stronger than ours.
You win fuck all if you can’t defend. We have had a purple patch defensively recently but in general this has been our Achilles heel and I don’t see it changing anytime soon.
