what they seem to miss, is the fact many of the teams above them play each other over the coming weeks. Its literally impossible for them all not to win any points.
before that tackle I thought they would struggle with a busy schedule. Not sure many of thier new players will have experienced so many hard cold games together- add losing brown to that and things are looking shitty.
I would agree that by drawing these games they have maintained slim hopes, but one good home loss to a team just above the top3 and they are fucked imo.
Come the end of the season they have those games away. Didn't Blackburn have a similar scheduale at the start of the season they went down?
What you are missing to mention is that if their home fixtures so far have been hard then their away fixtures have been easy, in that case how come they haven't won one of them?
This game today was the second of thier winning run and the second draw. they need to be beating teams in/around them. Big big ask for them to turn this around.

'Without goals, 4 points could take us 4 games plus to make up. By which gap, the gap will be more than 4.'
