We were terrified of losing it last season and didn't cross the halfway line second half. Fortunate to get a draw in the end. We need to go there with a positive approach and let our quality take over.

Probably due to the early days of SB but I remember many on here defended that approach. It was pathetic and sadly we've seen it's our standard in most away games.

We need to start being much more positive otherwise top 2 will remain elusive. SHA are decent at home but they're obviously miles off Wolves standard.

My worry is SB will think his job will come under massive pressure again if we lose it and so will set up to reflect that.

Win tomorrow and we're 4th. No more incentive needed surely. And the surefire runaway leaders singles lost.

4 points from the next two away games and we've got a great chance of making the top 2 within the next month.

Plenty of results went our way today. Whisper it, but this league may be opening up for us. Win tomorrow, up to 4th, 5pts off the top and we're looking to chase down Blades and Dingles sooner rather than later.

Tomorrow will tell me if we have the bottle for a title challenge.

Agreed. It's in our own hands. We have the squad, we have the ability. Do we have the belief and the leadership to make the most of the quality and the strength in depth?

I think tomorrow is exactly the sort of game we bought Terry for.

Or, if we lack the balls for a fight, we could be 13th come Wednesday evening. That's how close it is.

We failed in the last big test against Wolves. Let's see if we have moved on from that debacle.

Certainly. It will only open up for us if we grab the chance. We bottled it v Dingles. Time to step up v Blues.

Nailed-on draw it is then.

Unfortunately, my prediction of 4-5 points in November came true.

Another tough game on Wednesday. I suppose a point would be seen as a good result by most. The trouble is, with too many draws, it makes it difficult to push on in to that top 2.

Hang on, you're saying the way we set up means we won't reach Top 2. Yet we've drawn today and are therefore on target with your prediction for Top 2.
