Carl Curtis : Another defeat avoided – slowly turning the corner

City have now stretched their unbeaten run to 4 games and a second clean sheet in the last four games.

The football has not been brilliant but are City slowly turning the corner, we are obviously a little harder to beat than we were a month ago.

If we can start turning our home results in to wins then away draws like today will be far more valuable but there is work in progress and we now it is not happening overnight but it is another point towards safety.

I am not in the camp that believe we can make the play offs but if you are then today is two points dropped in the quest for a top six position so being someone who is looking at survival than rather than promotion then I am happy to have taken a point rather than have expectations and hope of a play off position.

We could go some way to securing our safety over the next ten days with Wigan and Rotherham away either side of a home fixture against Wolves.

Our possession stats were back to what they usually are under Slade, 62% – 38%, but it is the score line that matters and another point has been chalked up.

Against Blackburn on Tuesday, Dai Hunt, started a chant that had us in stitches :

We’ll stay up on draws,
We’ll stay up on draws,
Never mind winning,
We’ll stay up on draws.

Think he could be right.
