t’s impossible to be anything other than bitterly disappointed this morning. A 2-1 defeat at Chelsea has probably killed off our title chances for this season and while defeat against them hurts it’s our current form that’s the most disturbing to me. Four points from the last fifteen is not the kind of run title winning teams go on.

The team looks tired and I think we’re beginning to pay the price for having such a small squad. There’s no chance to rest players, there’s no real competition for positions and while I wouldn’t dream of suggesting any of them have been taking things for granted that extra bit of pressure on you to perform when you know there’s someone itching to get a chance really does make a difference.
