NEITHER RANT NOR RAVE: The team seems to have suddenly run out of steam. If the FA Cup wasn't in their mind before this game then it certainly is now! The defeat at Scunthorpe appears to have knocked some of the stuffing out. This game showed yet again the urgent need for a top class striker - reports suggestthat we played well in the first half but couldn't turn those chances into goals and as a result went in 2-0 down. Dave Jones has made some very shrewd signings but we have not had a Michael Chopra or even a Cameron Jerome this year and that has probably cost us a play off place. Ironically, we are likely to inish lower in the division than last year but actually came closer to a play off place.
Lets hope for a good showing and a point or three at Burnley, although I fear that Burnley's physical appraoch is just the sort of team to cause us problems.
