Although the final result shows another defeat, I thought that we acquitted ourselves better at Burnley, especially in the second half. It’s frustrating that yet again we conceded to a back post header but at least we had our own chances, and if GTF had scored instead of the keeper making a wonder save, I don’t think anyone would have argued that we were value for a point.
It’s all too easy to get carried away as a fan, so every defeat seems the end of the world, while every victory is a sign that we are going to be champions. If we take the positives from the game into the Forest match, then I’m sure we can turn round this slump in form and get right back into the promotion mix.
I’d like to see an unchanged side, as it seemed to take the first half for the team to settle into any kind of rhythm. For whatever reason, we seemed to be taking time to size up situations, by which time, the moment had passed. All too often we were seeing the right ball to play, but the execution was off. It all comes down to fine margins. Earlier in the season we were slick and fast moving; now there is hesitancy. Football the way we try and play is all about confidence, and at the moment we are just slightly off it.
Keep the faith and fully support the team on Tuesday night.
STARMAN: Matthew Gilks
