So a team that 'performs better when we don't have the pressure...' managed by a manager who 'doesn't seem able to handle pressure well either' is a 'real match made in heaven hopefully!' Is it just me or isn't there a bit of a flaw in that argument? There's going to be some pressure at some time Rich so let's hope both the players and the manager can improve as far as the pressure stakes are concerned. IMO the attitude shown against Leeds, Wednesday and Norwich would suggest that the mentality is improving. Top spot is as good as gone I think but the race for 2nd-6th is certainly going to be nerve jangling and both team and manager will need to stand up and be counted.
