That has got to be the hope. Got to both of the Reading and Birmingham games, enjoyed them both, thought we played pretty well and that on another day we could have got something out of both. We looked a solid mid table side. However you slice it, defeats against four teams in a row in the bottom half has led us wondering where our next point is coming from. We look weak in midfield, porous at the back, and left scratching my head as to exactly what has gone wrong. Confidence must be getting shot, and we really need a result of two to steady the ship.

In one of those runs where it is difficult to see where the next point is coming from. Not expecting this season to be pushing at the top really, but equally not in a relegation battle. We seem to be getting worse, and no real idea what our best eleven is. Compared to teams like Barnsley and Preston, we have spent some dosh. Just so depressing.

Not just the results. Our performances have been poor as well. Bloody annoying, again.

Just horribly horribly predictable. Wish I was surprised. Disappointed yes, surprised, no.

If it stays 1-1 I will take it happily.

Get the feeling LJ is looking hard for the magic mix, but is not really sure what it is. Let's hope he has stumbled upon it here and we push on. Another loss and it would be looking grim.

Come on my lads. Could really do with this point...or three tonight.

Easy to forget that. Would have been happy with mid table start of season, would be delighted with that now, but we are not a club that can blow a couple of mil on a forward that does not seem to be rated. Do not know if players are just confused, but our basics just seem to be missing week after week at the moment.

Sounded very much second best in the first half, got to be said. Not sure if it is application, or just confidence, but we are in a real slump that needs turning around.

All very predictable at the moment. Still time and all that, but does not sound like we have been very good really.

True enough, but this is the best I have until then. No more false alarms and you are forgiven!

Quite. Some of us are stuck with the mother in law watching some god awful film, and are having a sneaky peak on here as often as I dare. Not funny.

Agreed. There have been a whole pile of games recently where looked at in isolation I think, did not play so bad, maybe unlucky not to get something. However, it is now a big run of them, and now getting worried. Concerned.

In isolation, a game where we have just been edged out, and easy to say we could have got something. Problem is, it is now become the norm. New signings not really making the grade, similiar side to start of last season, and similiar results. Two home defeats against average sides spells trouble. Just cannot buy a result at the moment.

Not playing well, and any luck is against us as well.

Depressing. Struggle to score goals, and looking very fragile when defending. Everyone looking at that team sheet would have worried about our left side. Just have to hope for better in second half.

Not so much in this game in fairness. We were well on top. Just an inability to defend.

Frankly as disappointing a result as we have had this season. A good start and decent home form was keeping us comfortably mid table. Recent form is now more than just a blip. LJ still looks like he is searching for a magic answer. Ho hum. If it is not a better result on Saturday then will be in the concerned camp.

Well, this one is now in a definite ebb.

Cannot say we have not made decent chances this half. Typical.

Very disappointing. We looked disjointed, and frankly, poor. No complaints over the 90 mins as deserved to lose, but still really annoyed the goal we gave away to lose it. Very frustrating.

No real complaints in fairness about losing this on the balance of the game, but the goals we have given away! Midfield has been as poor as I have seen this season.

O dear. Frankie again.

I suppose the ref decided it was not deliberate. In which case a yellow is right. Having said that, I think it was, so really lucky in my book.

Our front three working very hard to close them down in fairness. Committed rather than dirty, but would be unsurprised to see it not finish 11v11.
