Right, so our start there´s no reason to spoil
When Millers come milling around,
I´m sure they´ll use Charlton´s tactic to foil
What foil can, here on our home ground

But from what I´ve seen, our attempts at goal
Have been plentiful in most games,
If we could just be sharper when a hole
Appears, it would help douse their flames

And if we could, for once, turn a good start
Into a healthy half-time lead,
It would spoil their plan, while giving us heart
And make home life easier indeed

For away, the situation´s reversed
Where sïtting back is justified,
And if well executed and rehearsed
Counter-attacks can turn the tide

But at home we must make our pressure tell
In the ´goals for´ column today,
And if we can then I´m sure the groundswell
Will hustle the Millers away

And although staying top just at this time
Is not the be-all and end-all,
It wouldn´t by any means be a crime
With a fourteen day break soon to fall. OTBC
 
I know what isn`t missing and that is an image of the SKY Bet football Championship trophy award 2015 and as we speak we have it in our possession and that my friend is all we can ask for at this stage and rely on our away form.
 
I fear 23, that most teams will come and do a `Charlton` or a `Rotherham´ or whatever you want to call it against us at home, as they will see that as their best chance of getting something. Perfectly understandable from their point of view, we´ve just got to be far more clinical in front of goal. I noticed we had 27 shots at goal today, but only 6!!! on target, now perhaps I´m slightly old-fashioned in my thinking, but that is deplorable, with that number we should have had at least twice as many on target. At least, until tomorrow at any rate, we´re still top, as the drawing bug seemed to hit all the others towards top as well. ;)

Worst case scenario 2nd.
 
We must learn to break out quickly when they
come out and lose the ball
We far to regularly give them far too long
to re park the bus
Quick break on the floor! to the edge of thier
box and shoot, score or let Grabban pick up the
rebound
Forget lobbing in loades of crosses we don't have
Holty and Morrison any more

I think that on the back of us scoring a number of goals from range earlier in the season we are taking a lot of Hollywood shots - brilliant on the highlights reel on the 5 percent of the times they go in but not likely to win you too many matches. Hopefully the return to fitness of hooper at the end of the international break will either improve our accuracy of push grab to concentrate on the cows arse when swinging his banjo
