There's no doubt that the crowd can and do make a difference, but I don't think that's what's missing at the mo.
If you looked at the other squads at the start of the season it was pretty obvious that this year the division would be tight. Whatever some may say, we simply do not have the best squad in the division; we are good and on our day can beat anyone, but we make far too many errors both forced and unforced to beat some of these teams.
Don't forget, it took Jones and Presley time to settle in together - they would be ripping this division apart. Lets also not forget, we lost Daley Williams, one of the best natural centres we have had here for years.
JD has brought a different playing style which when it goes right looks awesome, but at times looks beyond what the players are capable of and results in errors.
Both the players and JD still have time to get it right, but not much. One thing's for certain, the play offs are going to be tight and exciting.
An error free, confident, determined cougars are a match for anyone in this division. Problem is, the "other" Cougars aren't.
