Success in top level sports depends on small margins, often it's down to who makes the fewest errors. It's been one of my concerns with Bruce and Bruce's Villa that they too often shoot themselves in the foot and take the wind out of their own sales. It might be fragile confidence, over confidence, whatever, but some of Bruce's decisions have been plain daft. Which is why we're often two steps forward, one step back. It's not over yet because if we can beat Cardiff at home the gap is only 4 points. That is bridgeable over 8 other games if we can avoid throwing more points away unnecessarily. Big if. Would have been much more doable if beating Cardiff meant a 1 point gap to make up - but then we rarely do things the easy way do we?
