Hands up those of you who expected 1 point out of 6 for the Charlton and Wrexham home fixtures, with Coventry and Stoke coming up in December, there needs to be a big improvement on this.

I think we'll play better against better teams. It’s our inability to make things happen against mediocre teams that will be our downfall.

Not really how it works though is it. You can equally say 6 points and 8 goals against QPR and Swansea away is a good return.

We've not allowed Wrexham to lay a glove on us and did enough to win today without really playing our best. Getting the balance between staying solid and going hard for the goal is not as easy as everyone thinks. See Charlton where we dominated for large spells and got killed on the transition.

It is a bit like L1 where we have to get that ability to beat teams sticking everyone behind the ball.

Akpom and others getting killed on here tonight. Probably not suited so much to breaking down a low block.

I hope you are right, perhaps a touch of complacency set in for the two games mentioned, if so, the mindset within the group needs working on.

Add Derby and Watford too that! Really poor.

If we put a positive spin on it however, we are 6 points off Second with a game in hand.

What if that game in hand is against Oxford. 0-0?

Indeed, there have been some really underwhelming performances at home with the exception of the Sheffield United and Norwich games.

Hopefully we will return to Blackburn and show them why the abandoned game outcome was the correct decision.

Unfortunately most teams in this division are mediocre.

We’re not great, we’re very average and clearly we’re still adapting to pretty much a brand new starting 11 but, the facts show we’re in touch of Second place.
I’ll take that, there will be a number of sides above us that are aware we’re not firing on all cylinders yet, are breathing down their necks.

What is Akpom suited to, because I've seen very little so far from a player we were desperate to get?

Results are showing us how good this team is. We've not beaten anyone outside the bottom 10. We're not a top 6 team. We're just not.

And if we're not, despite very much having a top 6 budget, does that mean we don't have a top 6 manager? He's certainly not performing like one this season.

The new starting XI is the problem, too many potential first team players which has led to multiple changes, play the best player in the right position stick with it, build understanding and relationships. Or look at what we have and change something what we are doing currently isn't working.

True, though the worry is they are in the bottom 3, in fact all our good results have come against bottom half teams I think ;-/
