genome Interestingly* we only have one more point now than we did after the same amount of games last season, yet it feels completely different now. It started to go tits up at this exact point (after the 3-3 home draw with Wolves).
That'll be because at this stage last season any points we had won had mostly come from back-to-the-walls jobs (e.g. Boro away) where we were completely outplayed but still managed to snatch 3 points.
This season we've consistently outplayed teams and run out deserved winners, and where we've ended up losing/drawing it's often been due to bad luck or the odd mistake. I could be wrong but I don't think there's been a single game this season that we've had less shots on goal than the opposition.
This isn't a false position that we're in - we've genuinely been one of the 3 best teams in the league this season so far. Now the trick will be to keep the performance levels going. If we do then we'll get promoted.
