Time to be positive and make it a HOME run

EVERTON'S home form has been frustrating of late but what gives me hope that could change is the awareness David Moyes and his players appear to have of what has been going wrong.

The draw against Leeds United last time out at Hill Dickinson Stadium was frustrating, but the second half did see an improvement and, with Karl Darlow's save from Thierno Barry and Idrissa Gueye hitting the crossbar, there were opportunities for one point to have become three.

Key to that upturn after the break was the return of Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from their respective hamstring injuries. And it was the words of Dewsbury-Hall after the game that reassured me.

In his post-match interviews, the playmaker spoke of how to galvanise the home support.

He said: "It doesn’t take a lot for it to become loud and for fans to get off their feet. It might only take one tackle, one press. And I think us lads just need to remember that in the back of our head.
