But given the fixtures that gap was always likely to get whittled away

So you you actually looked at the fixtures coming up (rather than just the current table) those fixtures always realistically remained in the must-win category.

The situation would only change if we got a couple of unexpected wins (Saturday would have been a nice start!) to get genuinely (rather than temporarily by the order of fixtures) ahead of the pack.
