I think we'll be ok now. Roeder has got the confidence back in the squad...BUT

January is a hugely vital period in our season. Who we get in/keep on loan etc will be vital to our success. Of today's team four of them disappear pretty soon. We can NOT afford to lose all of them with no replacements. As much as I personally thought Pattison was a bit crap today, his workrate is awesome at this level and I think he is a good player. Camara had a shocker today but was awesome vs Charlton, I still think I prefer him to Drury anyway.

Smith can leave NOW, he's done nothing at all to impress me in any game I've seen him in. Will never ever make it at Chelsea, and Evans, well since his first two games he's been very quiet, but then the service to him and Cureton has been nothing short of woeful and completely inappropriate.

However they can consistently hoof it forwards to two strikers who clearly aren't going to win many headers is beyond me. That is the only reason we improved really, cos our game style didn't change over 90mins, we just brought someone on who actually plays that way.

Anyway, I think we'll stay up, but need to ensure we do the business in the transfer window to make sure of it.
