10 games since I last posted, just after the Carling Cup Final. How you interpret the results of those games depends on whether you are a “glass half full” or a “glass half empty” person. On the positive side of things, we have only lost twice in those 10 games. However, there have only been 2 wins in the last 10 games, and neither of those wins have been at home!
And despite this strange run of results, we are still in the play-off places with 4 games left in the regular season! Few of the teams at the top of the table seem to be able to string together a series of results. Reading seem to be the only team with a good, consistent run of results - so much so that they now look nailed on for automatic promotion. To think that we have beaten them twice this season!
After a disappointing loss to West Ham, and a very disappointing loss to Hull (who didn’t win for 6 games after), we have had 3 successive home draws. At least against Watford last Monday we appeared to show some form, and some of the team seemed to be showing some sort of form - we remain hard to beat.

Tomorrow we make the trip to Barnsley, who are not on a particularly good run of form at the moment. Lets hope they keep this up tomorrow! As we are in the play off places at the moment, we only need 4 wins to be certain of a place. A win against Barnsley and I think we’ll make it!
