Two defeats on the road would often lead to some criticism and negativity but we performed superbly against Norwich City on Wednesday night and while on Saturday against Burnley we were definitely second best, we stayed in the game and could have come away with a point.
These two games were never going to define our season, but they have certainly shown that we can live with the very best that the Championship has to offer and there are many more positives than negatives.
You do have to question the EFL, and the fixtures process that sees Burnley play a game on Tuesday against near-neighbours Preston North End, followed by a home game and, while City travel to Norwich 24 hours later and then have to journey 400+ miles to Burnley. A friend of mine has worked out that I have travelled over 3,000 miles (with the round trips) already this season to watch City away from home and we are still only in September.
