That's why I get p*ssed off with some of the Telegraph posters. You can bet your bottom dollar, the moment we lose one, it will all be down to poor management. In reality, quite a lot of unpredictable elements are involved - including luck.
To be honest, we probably got two more points than we deserved against Brentford, but that is balanced by the freak Ipswich equaliser (which, of course, in some circles was put down to something Mowbray had done or not done!)
What TM has instilled in us is that "hard-to-beat" quality, which is so important. I remember Howard Kendall doing the same thing years ago - again with a team that wasn't technically the best in the League by far.
