Its funny how once you get momentum things tend to go your way

As you say the opposition have missed a couple of sitters against us in recent games. Forest hit the bar to go two up and Villa hit the post when they were also one up.

By the same token though we really should have beaten Stoke and I would argue that we weren't playing that badly at the start of the season but, in contrast to now, a bit of luck went against us and we were made to pay heavily for individual errors (missed one on one at Shef U, Krul v WBA and Leeds) which turned games. In both the WBA and Leeds home games we played just as well as we have of late for the opening 20-25 minutes before being knocked back by those mistakes.

On balance, i think we are more the team that has been on fire recently and we will continue to get better now the players are confident and the younger ones have grown into their roles in the first team. No reason at all why can;t nick one of the top two places and certainly should be targeting top 6, that is unless we flog someone in Jnnuary.
