No disrespect to Cardiff and Fulham, but can they please both just piss off.

This.

Shame we were without Albert and Jack when we went down to the Cottage, could end up being pivotal

One of these teams will crack. We've lost and come back strong. Let's see what happens (if it happens) when Cardiff and Fulham have a reverse or a shape-altering injury.

why? We beat them at Villa Park, they beat us at our place. As it stands we are a point ahead and a game in hand on them. I don't think you can just take a game in isolation like that unless it's actually stands for something in the calculation of points, positions or in the final standings.

So we won and lost at home?  ;)

That's right. It was on the same day too if you recall. A double header as they say in baseball.

Yes it may do. A draw would have been good in that game however we are potentially 4 points ahead of them so we just need to hold our nerve and keep winning.

It was the draw with Preston that really hurt.

Every team pretty much can go through results and pick ones which could have been improved. Let’s look forward. We have a chance.
I fear the play offs - it’s such a lottery.

The only play off outcome I'd be slightly concerned about is us & Fulham being in them. Slightly concerned but certainly not fearful.

Anyway that won't happen because we'll either win the league or come runners up.

The Preston draw actually seems like it was a cathartic moment - back to back wins since.

Some amusing potential games next season. Blose could be playing Accrington Stanley, and remember when Sutton beating Coventry was a "giant-killing"? Looking like they could be meeting in the League.
