Team don't win while I'm away - or when I get back!

NEITHER RANT NOR RAVE:

Been away in Florida for the family hols and only had to miss 2 games as a result of the international break. First time I've followed games by text message! (Many Thanks to Jayne Bell!).

Of course, apart from that I only really knew the scores. The Magic Kingdom was a little more magic while we were leading 2-1 against Wolves but alas it was not to be.

Press putting lots of pressure on Dave Jones but I'm still not panicking yet. However, only 3 league wins from the last 20 games does not make good reading - Martin Jol had a better record than that and he was shown the door this week.

Be interesting to see what the local papers make of it again - the radio commentary suggested that they played well again today, especially in the second half, but still didn't manage a win. Same old, same old.

At last - and a good one too!

RAVE: At last a home Championship win! A good all round team performance. Not the same flowing football of recent games apparently but this time a win! We must have been taking Premiership lessons in time wasting as we completely shut them out for the last 5 minutes and the 4 minutes of injury time. Takes us nicely into the international break - also into the family holiday to Florida.

RAVE: Joe Ledley. The best game I have seen him play ever. I hope the team are doing well by the January transfer window or we might lose him. Nice to see Darren Purse playing 3 quareters of the game today aswell.

How many times can you have deja vu ?

RANT:Listened on the radio tonight - actually they did better when I wasn't listening - all 3 Blades goals were scored when I was listening and all 3 city goals were scored when I was doing something else!

2 goals conceded in the last 6 minutes. Will we never hold on to a lead? Will we ever keep a clean sheet? The only time this year was when we played QPR and look how bad they have been!

and now we have a home game coming up on Saturday. Scared? Me too! Not losing but not winning. The radio suggested we were much the better team and yet we only drew. Lets go back to not playing well and winning shall we?

AAAAGGGHHH!!!

This week Yorkshire - soon to be Liverpool!

NEITHER RANT NOR RAVE: Well - the score of 1-1. A good result but disappointing that they couldn't have held on for the last 15 mins. Great goal from JFH but gave away another sloppy late goal. Another trip to Yorkshire on Tuesday to play the Blades - a win there would give the team so much more confidence.

RAVE: Drawn in the Carling Cup at Liverpool. Surely it will be on SKY? A good draw (although I don't really approve of cup competitons!) and a great night for Robbie Fowler. A bit of a pay day for the club and a good chance to get knocked out of the competition. Perfect!
