Morale is high

PLAYING a passing game - as we did at Shrewsbury - is in line with what John Sheridan wants from us.

Blackpool will be a difficult game for us. They have some decent players and come into tomorrow on the back of a positive run.

We have plenty of confidence in the bank though, after winning for the first time in a while last Tuesday.

I look at the table and honestly don’t think we are too far away. We have games in hand on sides above us and play Blackpool twice in a short space of time.

The run through February gives us a good set of fixtures and, of course, it is vital that we get some more wins.

You can feel around the club the win last time has given everyone a lift, and that’s very important. But we know we can’t afford to rest. We haven’t been good enough at home this season, though on the road our form hasn’t been too bad. Whether it’s a confidence issue or not, it’s something we have to overcome. Quickly.
