I've not said sack Revell. I've said we're in a run of bad form. I am keenly aware of our size and limitations and bloody proud of what the club has achieved. But this has been a poor run of form that we'd all ideally like to end right?

Or do we just shrug our shoulders and go "oh well at least we're punching above our weight"? There's a fine line between appreciating where we are and limiting ourselves.

The 5 goals we've scored have been met by 3 goals in return and because of that we've taken 4pts (which is decent), but are you honestly happy with how the Burton game played out?

Our defence is something to proud of. We've got, relative to where we are, arguably the best defence in the 72. It's so far beyond what a club our size could hope for. But as I've said elsewhere that's only half the story if we're going to push on.

Do I demand or expect us to finish in the top 6? Of course not. That would be the stuff of dreams and something we've hardly ever managed in this league.

But am I happy with our recent inability to score? No.

The 5 goals in 2 games is progress and I hope that continues, and lifts us out of this stagnant patch, but it's no good if we go from not scoring and not conceding to scoring and conceding all the time.
