We lost at home to a far inferior Derby team last season. It's not a stretch to be concerned about taking 1 point from the next 3, which suddenly puts additional pressure on the last 5 games.
Personally I don't see it happening, but confidence can soon evaporate.
Fairly obvious I would say. We have a strict pay structure in place (the ceiling will increase in the prem) and we don't want to raise the expectations of the rest of the squad.
Wright is speculation and even then we could benefit if he doesn't travel for international duty, Thomas could be back (probably bench) and we had a run of winning 10 games out of 11 without Rudoni.
It has the potential to go in that direction. Draw or lose tomorrow, followed by a defeat at Swansea and the doubts can start to creep in.
I fully believe that will not happen.
In this year's scenario we are Leeds or Burnley and its likely that Boro or Ipswich will be the ones to miss out with a high points total. Also, its almost impossible for 2 of the teams below us to achieve 93 points.
The strength in depth is now paying dividends and we are going into games with a fresh and hungry team.
Unless they grab an early goal I can see this being a 2-0 win.
