I said it before but when it came to the serious promotion stuff we've made our excuses and left. We're the only one of the 4 to bottle it so far.
Yes exactly. When push came shove we pulled up.

Got to win Tuesday and give Fulham a leg up and all but confirm we are going to Derby first.

The Bottle Bank derby with Derby.

Hull 4-0 QPR today.

That QPR night was when we lost any realistic hope of second.

Another frustration will be if Fulham get it that they came from even further back than we did to overhaul Cardiff.

no, good luck to Fulham 18 games or so unbeaten is tremendous form. If we scrape into the top six I'd rather they weren't in the mix.

Would much rather Fulham take second now

It’s hard to say anything nice about another club, but Fulham’s run has been incredible. Imagine how we’d be feeling now.

No. We just reverted to type.

We had our pretty little 7 game winning streak from the turn of the year and then after that it's been back to our form previously. We haven't bottled it, it's too early to bottle it as there has been no pressure. We just aren't good enough and that has shown over 40 games.

Even in that winning run, we weren't great in every game. Sheffield United could quite easily have been a Bolton and Sheffield Wednesday could quite easily have been a Norwich.

Yes.

And, of course, Norwich could have been a Sheffield Wednesday.

Given how we go on a good run after a bad run, we'll be just about ready for the good run and play-offs again soon....

It's true though. When we get going, the run lasts a good few games, then we fuck it up royally for 2-3-4 games. We've all gone from being deliriously happy (I defy anyone to feel that 4-0 against Wolves caused anything else) to being rightly proper fucked off again.

8 games left of the season, we can lose a bunch and win the last three.
