Bristol could have been 2 or 3-0 up in the first 20 minutes. Might just be the division - less quality means sides aren't taking chances which is giving us a foothold in the game which we've then been able to go on and win.

Could they? The only clear chance I could recall them having was the shot off the line and we were 2 up at that stage.

It balances up over the season anyway, Boro and Hull at home are games we should've won a hundred times over.

Ive crunched the numbers and looked at all the remaining fixtures for the teams from 2nd to 6th and come up with :

Villa - 90
Cardiff - 90
Derby - 84
Fulham - 82
Brizzle - 76

All down to goal difference and we are 2 behind Cardiff atm. Basically we win 1 more game than them.
Our home games against Wolves, Cardiff and Derby all look butt-clenchers.

Don't see us or Cardiff making 90 points.

How many points do you have Cardiff getting out of Sheffield United away, Wolves home, Us away and Norwich away chap?

Forgot to add Derby away to that bunch of games as that starts off the Cardiff run.

So I take it from that if you give them just 3 points from those 4 games they win pretty much every other game they play? Don't see that happening.

A bit like the clamour for Millwall tickets.

Every time I see Cardiff Hoilett is involved in their wins/goals , we could do with him getting injured. I think we will finish 4th, sadly...behind Fulham and Cardiff.

I think 2nd will keep changing hands right up to the last game or two so all that matters is that we time things to be that team ahead of the rest come May.

I said weeks ago I think Fulham will go on a run and be the biggest challenge for 2nd. They're full of pace and play some of the best football in the league.

What worries me if we ended up in the play offs is I wouldn't fancy us at all against Derby, Fulham or Cardiff. For instance if we ended up in the final against Fulham I think they'd rip us apart at Wembley.

Lots of big games still to go, with teams up the top all still to play each other. Preston had a man sent-off yesterday too. Worth remembering that our top scorer was out injured against Fulham and our best player over the last 6 weeks too.

There’s a long way to go yet.

Be interesting to see if Fulham are still in the mix after their next 6 games - Bristol City Wolves Derby Sheff Utd Preston and QPR

I think we'll slaughter everybody we meet and it does wonders for my mental health and general outlook on life.

I thought we'd left Bristol City for dust but if they beat Leeds today (winning 2-0 at the moment) they'll be snapping at our heels again. What do we need to do to get clear, win twenty games on the trot, goddammit?
