In this previous post from yesterday - Temperature Check on Eustace

I gave it a score of 3 and he's got until the next International Break after this one to get us out of the rut.

However, I've just looked back at our opponents since the start of the season and where they are now and with our injuries list and the level that this current squad Eustace can field, we should middle to bottom of the league.

15th August - Lost 2-1 away to Charlton, they are now 6th. We were in the lead and then took Szmodics off for Mowatt 54th minute and then conceded in the 61st and 80th, then made 4 changes in the 83rd & 84th minute, but didn't make a difference.

22nd August - Drew 2-2 at home to Cardiff, they are now 1 place above us in 21st, pretty even all round, they're having just as bad a time as us.

29th August - Lost 0-3 at home to Swansea, they are now 2nd in the league and our starting 11 was pretty poor IMO. We were easily outclassed all game.

1st September - Won 0-2 away to Portsmouth, they are now 18th, only 3 points ahead of us, so in our current state, this was a very good win for us, our only win though.

5th September - Lost 3-0 away to West Ham, they are now 1st in the league, outclassed again.

9th September - Lost 0-1 at home to West Brom, they are now 3rd in the league, there were good signs in this game, we started very well, only for them to score on what felt like their first attack and then after the red card they just parked the bus as they should. We didn't really have any ideas how to break them down.

12th September - Lost 1-2 at home to Birmingham, they are now 9th. This is where everyone is starting to worry about our form, going 1-0 up and then immediately being pegged by a middle/top half team, they then stick back and counter us and honestly should have scored a couple more than they did (the shocker miss from a couple yards) as our defence looked dire whenever they went forward.

I'm not in full panic mode yet, 4 of our 7 opponents are now in the top 6. Mix that in with our injury list and it's not surprising we are down at the bottom. Our next 2 games (Burnley away who are bottom of the league on the 19th and then a long break until the 10th October to get fit and plan our way out ready for Wrexham at home.

Landing at 11:45am, plan on getting the shuttle bus to Rome Termini and then my own way to the hotel if they'll allow early check-in, if not I'll just carry my bag all day.

Plan on visiting the following sites

• Colosseu m
• Trevi Fountain
• Pantheon
• Castel Sant Angelo
• The Vatican

Then I'll find a pasta/pizza restaurant (recommendations are very welcome!)

Wander back to my hotel for an early night (I'll have been up since 4-5am)

Have breakfast somewhere local to the hotel before getting the shuttle bus back to the airport as my flight leaves at 11:45am!

Flights & Travel Insurance = £58.88

Hotel = £77.78

I know 1 night is definitely not enough time for Rome, but I wanted to do this as the flights worked out great value and will end up costing me less than what I wanted to do in the UK!

Anything you guys would do differently, please do recommend!!
