Displays like that make me get soooo frustrated with Mick, sometimes I think he's a bit self fulfilling in what he says and how he sets his teams up. Whilst he's a really good championship manager that errring on the side of caution stops him from being a top manager which he has the potential to be. I have no problem grinding results out, you need to sometimes, if you're not at your best, grind it out but sometimes under Mick it looks like that is our Plan A not Plan B
Whilst our defence has come on leaps and bounds and our strikers given their ability looks to have improved a great deal under the coach of MM and TC, we really need to look at the midfield and being in possession. IMO the midfield is the most important area, I guess that's from being brought up in the Burely era, if you have a good midfield it takes a lot of pressure off the other areas.
Saying all this it is certainly not the end of the world, we're only 3 points off top, whilst the 3 above are far better than us in terms of quality if we stay within touching distance they will have a few blips on the way and we're not likely to go on that bad a run of form, unless this is it which I'll take if we're only 3 points behind the leaders. Looking at the team we have, I still have no clue how we are where we are in the league.
Under Mick I seem to be quite positive until I watch or listen to a game then I get really frustrated because it's just usually such a slog but that's what I guess comes with the package.
