 Does it feel like although results may have slipped a little in recent weeks the performances are still there? Yeah it does, as I say, probably the last five games where we've had the results haven't been what we wanted. The performances have been there, I think we've dominated probably the majority of all five of those games but we've probably only got one victory and two draws and two losses out of that. So I know results-wise it's not been good enough but as you say it's difficult to get two down because we are playing well and we are creating chances so it's quite a change really but I think amongst that it's easy to get to maybe a little bit two down because when you look at it we are still fourth in the table and I think at the start of the season after 22 games we would have probably took that but I just think as I say because of how we've been playing and maybe particularly how we started the year we, expectations rose as the season went on really so no disappointing but we know obviously now we're looking forward to it, we want to push on now, obviously performance has stayed the same but we're looking at results-wise to push on and hopefully go on a run now of hopefully getting some wins and enjoying them together. There's a few games coming up now in quick succession obviously boxing their new years yeah it's even then just into the new year do you think it's three games that could be pivotal? Yeah definitely I think it was it's always an important period of the season and as we always say I think the squad will be hugely important there particularly over the new year fixtures where they come taking fast and it's games where we want nine points obviously but we know how difficult that is for any teams if anyone comes out with nine points over those three games they'll be delighted but of course that is the aim for us we take it one game at a time of course and there's no way we won't have a more difficult game I'm sure than the one at boxing day against the leaders so we can't wait for it and we want to bounce back and I hope for has been good so we'll hopefully push on from that but yeah we want the three points we want to maybe close the gap on those and see where we're after that. What's it like as a footballer at this time of year do you enjoy the quick turnaround or can it be quite difficult? No I enjoy it I think particularly this year for us with us being at home it's it's not going to affect our personal life you like as much with family and things like that we'll see plenty of the family and things like that so when it doesn't affect me I mean it's boxing day is always a fantastic feature I think for players and fans everybody loves that game and yeah same with the new year so I think as a footballer myself personally I prefer the games to training anyway so the more games the better really and I think all the lads feel that way and as I say I think particularly because of the the results we've had of late we're desperate to get back out and play games and win games.
