The last week has got to go down as one of Town’s worst this season after dropping points against one of the league strugglers and one of our main promotion rivals, writes blogger James Pugh.

As if the lacklustre performance against Barnet wasn’t bad enough as we drew 0-0, the 3-1 defeat at home to Brentford has put a big dent in our automatic promotion push.

It was the same old story on the road against Barnet with negative tactics, including playing one up front and a lack of willingness to win. For some bizarre reason Simpson thinks a point away from home will do.

And to be fair to Brentford on Saturday, they are probably the best side we have come up against this season and deserved their win.

The downside to this is that maybe we aren’t as good as we thought we were. The only positive to take from the match was the return of Grant Holt, who at the moment is proving us to be a one man team, barring the defence.

For the last couple of months Town have gone a bit stale and I have to say if we could fast forward until the end of the season, we will be lucky even to be in the play-offs.

The goals have dried up, the performances at home haven’t been great and we are lucky not to be further points behind our promotion rivals.

At the moment I don’t see where a good run of consecutive wins is going to come from, unless we can have a lot of fortune and out players spark into life.

Tuesday sees us play at home against Accrington Stanley – needless to say the game is a must win.

The result on Saturday proved one thing at least – we need more players before the transfer deadline passes by the end of today.

And it seems at the moment like we haven’t quite got the strength in depth in our squad that many of the fans thought that we had when the season got under way.  I think if Monday passes without any new additions, a lot of fans will be very unhappy.

According to Sky Sports News’s Transfer Centre, Aston Villa are apparently chasing Chris Humphreys. I find this very hard to believe because although he has got potential he can’t even secure a regular spot in our starting XI and is too inconsistent to be good enough for a higher league, let alone ours.
