Seems a stretch doesn't it. But we could do it with WLLLWW, so a last eight games of LLWLLLWW. Madness.Quote:

It’s odd this whole momentum thing. We picked up most of our points between September and January whereas Fulham and Millwall, as you say, have done it all since Christmas.Quote:

The outcomes the same whichever where you do it...probable top six...and that’s all most of us could have hoped for back in August.
Yes I do Andy. The defeat against Boro with the new, untried 3 at the back (something I have been campaigning for all season on another forum where I have been posting for years) showed better football, better teamwork and more zest than at any time in 2018. I said, on that other forum, after the Boro game that add some better passing and end product and we could turn Cardiff over. We did. The improvement is now a whole 2 games old so way too early to say that it is our Utopia but I am convinced that if we had gone to a back 3, 10 or 12 (19 anyone?) games ago we would be fighting for top 2 rather than top 6.Quote:
