Football is a simple game. Passing the ball to the opposition doesn't help you keep clean sheets.

We went from September to December without a clean sheet. Obviously, some of the qualities and attributes needed for this simple game must have been missing.

We shipped a massive amount of goals from individual errors. Getting the team to keep their concentration and dropping a woefully out of form Jenkinson has reversed this.

We did break them down. We won 1-0. You're allowed to win 1-0 ya know.

It's all good and well saying let's give Song some time but he's only here on a season long loan and we're halfway through the season.

True, though I'd prefer 2-0, or 3-0, or...

Happy with the win, just concerned that we only made one clear cut chance. Not enough movement in either the midfield or up front.

It was always going to be hard to play against a side holding out for a draw with half of our team made up of reserves and not yet fit 1st teamers.
