Not good today but I remain optimistic that we can get back to how we were in January. I was talking to a good friend - a Derby fan, man and boy - who watched our two games against them. His comment was that we were way too good to be relegated. I know that flatters us a bit but, from that, I take the point that we have the capacity to perform at a level that will keep us in this league. We aren't fundamentally broken as many think.

It will obviously not be easy but I think we have enough about us to scrape a place. It's as much an act of faith as anything to say that - and our injury list is a major obstacle - but the fact that our form has plunged from top three to bottom suggests we have an opportunity to get back to something better. We can play good football - and football that gets points - we just need to get back to do doing it again.
