Blackburn currently undefeated.

We're in a rut.

Classic setup.

We need 3 points to ease the tension.

Last time that happened was Oxford at home...

Have a good trip. I’ll be going. Think we’ll be ok tonight 😬we might score a goal and maybe get a point. Minimum of 4 points really needed from these 2 games. Can’t go into the next break the way we currently are.

I wasn't even there and I feel like a weight has been lifted.

3 points on Saturday would be a huge turn around.

A point would be a decent week.

What was the difference? From the bits I saw we weren't that coherent on the ball.

Perhaps it's just about taking a chance when it comes with the Bidwell one.

Then you have a bit of momentum

First Cov Game: I am not sure but I am told I was four at the time. The first one I can remember was the home leg of the Trakia Plodiv tie.

Sorry you missed it but please keep going on flights.

I think Thomas-Asante madea real difference. I don’t think he isa particularly skillful player but his pressing and energy was really important and set the tone for the rest of the team. Whilst Simms is the more talented player he is a problem when he plays passively as he has been this season.

The midfield three were all great. Eccles, Sheaf and Rudoni make a great combination especially if Rudoni isn't forced to play too far forward. They are the strongest part of the team in my view.

Horrible journey home afterwards with roads closed through flooding and didn't get back until after 1am but it was worth it.

I've mentioned a lack of leaders in the team, I think that's why Wilson is back in the team.

To add to that BTA as you describe, plays in an inspirational way, high energy. He also talks well so imagine he'll continue to grow as a leader in the dressing room.

Those 2 might not be as talented in their position as some of their teammates, however the leadership at this time may be more important.
