I for one think that Reading aside, January was a huge improvement. Both performances lacked against Reading but we did have an unfortunate double injury blow against them. These things do happen in the FA Cup.

Man Utd were knocked out by even more inferior opposition and Reading also stunned us a year earlier in the Premier League.

I thought we were unfortunate to not get the win against Stoke and Wolves – a bit more confidence (which we look like we have now) and it could have been a clean sweep month.
