Perhaps the excellent start this season, and then the sudden shock of defeat to Mansfield, has made the players aware of the expectation they have generated and in turn affected their performance, but it shouldn't. They just need to get back to the high intensity, in-your-face approach which has won them games. In the last two matches, whether through tension or complacency, they've looked like a team standing back and admiring their work.
Agree, I think being top and being on Football Focus let them think they would romp the league and it was all rosy. Glad in a way they've been brought back down with only one defeat and one draw. Time for us to see how Nolo is at managing this slip.
