I was really surprised that we still have a +ve goal difference.

I have been thinking about what has gone wrong and I keep coming back to Palmer. He brought confidence across the team, always there to take a short pass from the defenders, or take it off the attackers, then play what was often a simple pass forward. When Bostock came the question was asked as to whether he could play with Palmer. Now it seems more like can be play without him, or that type of player.

Francis was mentioned - I was disappointed when he left as I thought there was a good player there. Maybe he would have been better with Bostock than he was with Palmer?

I won't comment on 3 5 2 or 4 4 2 or whatever as I think the most important thing is to send a team out who are fired up with a plan (and a plan to beat the opposition.

I am disappointed with the last few games but can't get too down. If we are still in the play-offs after Christmas it will have bettered my expectations.
