Dare I turn this around to a bit of optimism.

It might not have been the best 90 minutes we've been served up in Cloughy's tenure so far however after a poor half we witnessed and Jose thunderbolt and could well have knicked it in the end.......however.

First and foremost we are now unbeaten in 7 competitive fixtures.

We have scored in 6 out of these 7 fixtures.

We now have a regular goalscorer who is not a central defender in Jose Baxter.

We've only conceded 3 goals in our last 6 league fixtures.

We've had 3 clean sheets in our last 6 league fixtures.

Our last 6 matches actually sit us a staggering 5th in the League one form table.

So we had a bit of crapped served up yesterday you have to admit weve come a hell of a long way and this is on the same resources as those that Weir had. It only gives optimism that when Clough gets the chance to stamp a bit of his own personality on the squad that things will continue to improve.

Onwards and upwards! UTB!

Hopefully you are right. There is only so much dross a fan can take.

Definitely still feeling this optimism despite our first half performance against oldham.

Really enjoyed the second half and seeing that strike coming flying towards me as I sat in the kop blew me away, hopefully we'll have a few more of them from him

Just to balance this Chris Porter is still our first choice centre forward.

Well spotted!

But then that doesn't deter away from the achievements above really does it!

As a "unit" or "team" we are moving in the right direction and Porter has been an instrument part of this whether we like it or not, he might not have popped up with a dozen goals but he has definitely played a part in the unbeaten run we have had.

January transfer window gives us an opportunity to hopefully bring in some firepower and I think judging by what Cloughy is saying he is looking to do this, until then I really don't see the need to attack him.
