    Think he is right-can we hold our nerve but what I did like was the information regarding blocks and putting our bodies on the line.
    From being no 1 for doing that, ranked 11. Is that a change of personnel with some of the new players maybe or just a general lowering of commitment.
    I certainly don't think we have been as "ard working" and I wonder if the players have not brought into the ethos as they have done in previous years-lessoning of the manager's influence.
    Just some random nervous match day thoughts

    How true. I think the problem is that players cant keep the level of perfromance up for 90 minutes let alone 38 games, so I am not suprised that certain areas are straing to fade in both comitment and ability.

    My thoughts on stats and our poor form - Crosses, or lack off.
