Thought this was a good video and fair summary, particularly from Sam Parkin -

Pretty fair analysis and their consensus is that we’ll still win the league. They hit the nail on the head when speaking about our bench v Birmingham. With depth like that, it’s reasonable that our form would take a hit during the busiest period of the season.

Now we’ve got 4 wingers and hopefully more to come I’m confident we’ll dust ourselves off and finish the job.

Same, I'm glad they acknowledged why the team have had a drop in form rather than gone for hysterically saying we're falling apart and have bottled the season.

Anyone who's fair minded and been to our games would have seen the following:
1. Edged the first half v Ipswich away before a goal against the run of play, they avoided what should’ve been a 2nd yellow
2. PNE - they scored their only big chance and we should've scored 2-3
3. Southampton - probably should've been 2-0 up before the red card, the better team in the first half
4. Ipswich (h) - should've had a penalty on Wright, but will admit we were outclassed on the day
5. Charlton - poor concede to concede from Brau
6. Birmingham - thin bench, Birmingham score 100% of their shots on target - stonewall penalty against EMC not given

Right there, PNE, Southampton and Charlton are the three games that were draws but should've been wins. Some favourable officiating decisions probably change the results in the games we lost. It's not been as simple that we've 'bottled it', no one was saying that when Boro were winless in 4 before beating Southampton...

Even my Birmingham supporting colleague has said he's glad they've played us now because we're strengthening the squad again - 'you should go up and get that free season ticket'.
