WHEN we look at the Crewe game, and the feeling everyone had afterwards, we know we should have won that game.

But at the end of the day we’re still unbeaten, it’s another point on the board, so it’s okay and we have to keep going.

We’ve now lost only two of the last 21 league games. There have been more draws than we’d have liked, but it’s still a very impressive record.

At the end of the day, we’re still up there – even with the dropped points – and we’re just looking forward now and aiming for more wins to generate even more momentum.

I had a few chances during the Crewe game at the weekend, and I’m so annoyed I wasn’t able to take at least one of them.

The most annoying was the header that ended up on the roof of the net, from Max Power’s cross.

It all happened in a split second.

I had to jump, because I couldn’t quite get high enough to reach it.

I was on the back foot and, when it went over, I was like: ‘Oh no, why me, I’ve already missed four chances’.

We also had other chances after that, but it wasn’t to be.

You can’t afford to get down about things like that.

All you can do is concentrate on the next chance that comes along, and make sure you take that.

If I get the same number of chances this weekend against Port Vale, hopefully I will take one or two of them.

We’re all confident going into this game, because at home we’re doing really well.
