NEITHER RANT NOR RAVE: Well - the third game in a week turned out to be one too far. Yet again we struggled against a poorer team who were up for the fight -and after taking the lead too! Mind you, after 3 consecutive clean sheets we should have realised that the statistics were stacking against us and someone would score - a fantastic strike by Johnnie Jackson (see pic) although nothing more than Colchester deserved according to most reports.
Yet again we have struggled against a team near the bottom of the table - recent struggles against Sheffield Wednesday (twice), Leicester, Coventry and now Colchester have shown some of the frailties of the team. However, as I have said previously this is such a competitive division and any team is capable of beating anyone else on their day. I now no longer feel that there are any outstanding teams in the division, unlike the Reading and Sunderland of recent years.
Well - our next 3 games are all at home - Bristol City, Southampton and West Brom, before the trip to Wembley. 3 wins would give us real confidence as well as move us up the table. however, at the moment the Southampton game is likely to give us most trouble!
