And yet that form over the last 12 games is automatic promotion form. As I said, we’re the 2nd best team in the league over the last 5 and 10 games and the best team in the league over the last 15, 20, 25 and 30 games. That level of form and the fact we’re in with a chance of promotion has been achieved by ‘fannying around’. Blaming that for not winning games but failing to credit it when we do win undermines your argument. We are where we are because we play that style and have played that style all season long; it’s not a new occurrence. The damage was done already due to the poor start we had.
I agree with you for the rest though; luckily Orient did us a favour last night beating Mansfield. If we lose on Saturday and results don’t go our way then the pressure could be on against Hartlepool. They’ll almost certainly already be down by then as they’re only still up on goal difference; I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not though, because if they’re down they’ll be out to spoil our chances and might sit back and defend but if they’ve still got a chance of staying up they’ll need to come at us and attack which would work in our favour on the counter.
Who knows though; Orient are Champions now so the pressure’s off and their foot might be off the gas.
