After the Rovers’ game, 2 wins from our next two were vital... and we won both.

3 games played
7 goals scored
2 conceded
7 points from a possible 9.

That’s not half bad!

They weren’t pretty wins by anything stretch of the imagination but these were the games last season where we dropped points, that is an improvement.

There’s a lot of twist and turns yet to come over the next 17 games but at the end of the day we are past the half way mark and we are holding our own against clubs with huge war chests and wage structures. You have to see the positives in that.

Do I think a proven striker would help us over the line? Of course, but the chances of us splashing out is minimal at best, so just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us.

Still a long way to go but if we do go on a decent run of form then the play-offs are a certainty and automatic isn't completely out of it. Still got over a week to go in the transfer window so we might see another incoming, especially as a few of the fringe players seem to be going out on loan.

Think Harrop finding form is the 1st time in his career, so like a new signing. Need to keep the bulk of the squad fit now and have a real go.

Keeping the squad fit has been our undoing for a number of years now. We saw how injuries to 3 or 4 players within the same time frame saw us win only 2 games out of 11 between the Derby and Rovers games, yet every club has to deal with injuries so we can't keep using that as an excuse. Keep the majority of our first X1 fit and we'll easily make the play-offs. Add to that another key signing and I wouldn't totally rule out automatic just yet.
