I've always said that our biggest problem is that too many of us think the good times won't last and we don't really belong on the big stage.Guilty. Despite what I saw in ‘81, I was convinced we’d blow it. Despite claiming not to be superstitious, Saturday’s result reminds me of the Bolton game that we won in similarly inauspicious circumstances and we blew it under Gregory. Results, and what logic applies to football, point upwards, but...maybe there was something in the water supply growing up...

Which season/game? Our barnstorming calendar year 1998 under JG was washed away by being knocked out of the FA Cup at home to Fulham in Jan'99 (I think Collymore went awol that day) so maybe you're on about 2001/02 when we also started well (although I think the game where we were abruptly halted was a 3-0 reverse at Newcastle).

We beat Bolton 3-2 after leading 3-1, and nearly drew it late on. It looked like the team lost its nerve a bit that day, and we started to slither away. We were top that day having lost just once in 10 games. Two months later were were 8th having won just once more.
