We need to wake up according to Enrique.

Enrique said:
“It’s time that we woke up now.
“We have been top of the table, which is good, but we need to wake up because we haven’t been playing very well.
“We can’t think we’re in the Premier League – it’s not true.
“We’ve played only 12 games, and there are 34 games left.
“The team haven’t played very well in the last three games – we have two points from nine.”
True enough. We’ve got a game away at Scunthorpe tonight and then home to Doncaster on the weekend. We really should be winning these games against lower table opposition if we’re going to sustain our promotion push.
Jose said of the next two games:
“We need three points [tonight].
“If we want to stay top of the table, we need to win the games.
“We’ve been lucky, because in the last three games, the results of other teams were not very good, but the luck will not always be with us.
“If we lost the next two games, we will be in third or fourth position in the Championship.”
Enrique seems to share the same view as most of us about the Forest game, which is that we lost it mainly due to a dismal display in the first half:
“I think we have a good enough team to win these games, but we need to play the 90 minutes like we did in the second half against Forest.
“I think we lost because we didn’t play very well in the first half – in the second half we played much better.”
Yes indeed. I’d like to think we can take 6 points from the next two games but I reckon Scunthorpe will make things hard for us at their intimate, 9100 capacity ground.
Liking Jose more and more…. Was my MOM v Forest by a mile…
