Has the tide finally turned?

[Jimmy Bone Superstar]

Don’t want to count my canaries but the last 3 games have been back to the levels we all hoped for at the start of the season.
Helped by playing some of the weakest opposition in the championship but can we now start to look forward with more optimism?
PC has shuffled his pack partly through necessity and partly through rotation and it’s starting to click.
Confidence is growing and even Paris almost smiled!
Upwards and onwards!!!

As you say, we’ve beaten 3 sides in abysmal form.

A very pleasing run of results, but for me, the structural flaws are still evident and will continue to be exploited against the better Championship sides.

Probably?

Confidence is a massive thing in football, when things are going badly it feels like you are running through treacle, you mentally beat yourself up, and are scared to take risks. Confidence can make average players great players. We have shown that we have good players, in some cases the best in the division, and I think we, maybe, got a bit carried away at the start of the season with the expectation, then reality hit hard. Injuries to Ahmed, Toure and Makama kinda ruined the script, as our plan A was just to blow teams away with our forward pace and power.

There were a lot of positives last night, regardless of the standard of the opposition, the midfield worked hard, the defence stepped up to support when needed, and I saw Paris dropping deep too, to link up the play. Those things have been missing in previous games, leaving gaps to be exploited.

I'm still confident we'll reach the play offs.

Confidence can take you a long way in this division, but you have to remember we’ve won 6 matches and 4 of those are against teams in the bottom 5 (and Sheffield weren’t in great form when we played them). The only result that stands out currently is Birmingham.
If we can start picking up results against teams higher in the table I’ll believe we’ve turned a corner, however until then I still feel it’s only a mid table squad at best
