Yes!

If I was doing a poor job I would be bothered about doing a poor job.

We look like we're going to concede every time they come forwards

Adams really lined up that scuff at goal.

Adams looking ponderous. Off the post

Another ball into left back. Another goal. At least the defender got back to deflect it in.

I'd rather have a wobble now, sort our shit and turn up for the play offs than get pipped and fizzle out. At least this way we have time to turn it around. We're still a good side that has played some lovely stuff this season. Admittedly I'd also rather we win every game until the end of the season and go up automatically.

It didn't take us long to go from unbeaten run to "we're a joke". If we play to our potential the game is still ours. COYR

Rothwell scored two cracking goals the other week, but....

It doesn't matter what side we put out. They keys are not giving the ball away and playing with more intensity. Do that and we've got a shout against anyone. Be sloppy like the last two games and we'll get punished.

We've given the ball away so often the last couple of games. In really stupid areas. Lacking intensity all over the park. No idea why we took off our two most threatening players either.

Wow at Leicester's away from. There isn't a huge amount in the home form table (we've played a game less than Leeds and are 5 points behind). The away table is another matter though we don't have the friendliest fixtures left.

He's done well coming in from the right not so much when he's been central. When we're struggling he's not the best at being an out ball. Particularly against better opposition. Some of his finishing isn't the best. That being said his runs in from the right have been great and if we get him through balls he's a threat. And he'll run all day for the team. I'm unconvinced he's what we need if we get back in the Premier League and I don't think we can play him centrally. Much in the same way I don't think we get the best out of Mara if we play him out wide.

Don't worry about catching Leicester or how Leeds do. Worry about playing well against Bristol City.

Trying to extrapolate the rest of the season based upon a period at the start of the season seems as much wishful thinking as looking at the last 10 (or pick a number) of games and extrapolating. Teams will beat teams above them in the table and teams will draw or lose to teams below them in the table.

What I'd like to see: Bazunu, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Meghoma, Charles, Downes, Rothwell, Brooks, Mara, Edozie What I expect to see: Bazunu, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Manning, Stu, Smallbone, Rothwell, Brooks, AdamA, Fraser Strong squad either way with a string bench behind it. Lot of games coming up in not much time so we're going to need to rotate. I think Stu needs a rest, Fraser is looking a bit jaded and Downes likely to be out.

Midfield three has to be Downes - Smallbone - Stu Front three is harder. AdamA hasn't played well through the middle and Che is Che. So I'd go Mara at CF currently. Right wing looks like Brooks right now though maybe a bit harsh on AdamA. Left wing really nothing to choose between Fraser and Edozie. Fraser is more direct. Edozie really cruises past his man. I'd go with our earlier setup of start Edozie then punish with Fraser towards the end.

Mara has done some serious work in the gym. He absolutely shrugged a couple of players off a couple of times there. Can't see a case for starting Che over him any more. Tough choice between Edozie and Fraser for the other starting spot up front.

What an odd game. We were terrible for large parts of it and I have no idea how we managed to win. Our passing was aimless and we didn't attack or defend with purpose. When we did we sliced them apart. Roll on the next game.

Mara!

How is the ref saying no to that penalty?

Lovely finish that.

There we go. Now let's win this.

It's just lazy misplaced pass after misplaced pass. Credit to Huddersfield for marking our midfield out of the game but honestly this is pants.

Play with the intensity we came out after half time with and we win this. Keep doing what we're doing and we lose 4 or 5 -2
