I really hope what Beattie says to the lads is radically different to what he is saying to Dan in his interviews. He gave over a large portion of the interview to saying we need some luck to get us that first win. But you don't win enough football games to stay up through luck. You win it by burying your chances when they come.

The lads need to know in no uncertain terms that points are only good if you back them up by winning the next game. On Tuesday night we have to win. Otherwise all todays efforts are worthless. We have only got 7 goals so far this season. Not good enough. We need to commit more lads to getting in the box. We should be peppering the away sides 18 yard area when we're at home.

The sad thing about this is that the defence seems ok. The lads should have the confidence to commit to going forward. We have experienced players in the side who will sit when bomb on up the wings and commit one or two of the midfielders to getting in the box. Time is running out. Every home game that goes by without us winning is a missed opportunity. Whoever gets picked on Tuesday night has to be brave and actively look to WIN the game. I'm a bit worried we're happy to try and *pinch* results. That will not keep us in the football league.

Like I said last week, we CAN turn this around. If you think of some of the squads we had when we first got promoted, with all respect to those players, we squeezed every last bit of performance out of them. Got to make it happen though, simply waiting for a deflection or a bit of luck will only lead to us going down.
