We threw away six points from the two away vMillwall and Hull and imo should have beaten Sunderland, but the CBS situation with the pitch issue certainly didn’t help or the injury to McFadzean.
Nah I'm sure Rotherham was one of them. Isn't that also the game where we had the sickness bug? Or maybe that was Blackpool...Didn’t we win all the games that were rescheduled?
Yea we coped well. We really didn't get going, we looked half a yard short at the start of the season. We never seemed to be able to get going in games, I put this down to the stop start nature of it and the last minute postponements. Can't have helped.Might be recency bias but it does feel like we have lost a lot of Key players for big spells this season.

All out for big chunks. Amazing how well we have coped with such a small squad
even with the shocking 10 game start, we blew 2 points against Swansea after being 3-0 up at home, and before that we should have comfortably beat Reading.
Going further back than that - we dropped 3 against Blackpool.
those 10 games gave us a bad start but even then we should be comfortably in the play offs.
You’re right but still a good return from postponed games:Nah I'm sure Rotherham was one of them. Isn't that also the game where we had the sickness bug? Or maybe that was Blackpool...
Shocking patch of form that. We were so shit after the world cup. I suppose you get them in the championship, across the board (Burnley seem immune) what makes it such a good division. The bad start for me felt like a result of the off field stuff which is somehow more annoyingYep, the results around Christmas were worse for me. How we didn't beat Reading, Swansea, Cardiff and Bristol City I'll never know.
I think it was more the disruption tbh, the points haul there you could argue is par for the fixtures. Maybe just above.You’re right but still a good return from postponed games:
Huddersfield won 2-0
Wigan won 2-0
Rotherham drew 2-2
West Brom won 1-0
So it’s hard to say the rescheduled games really cost us
I'd give my left bollock for a run of results like that from our next 4 btwYou’re right but still a good return from postponed games:

That Reading match has to be one of the worst games of football I’ve ever watchedYep, the results around Christmas were worse for me. How we didn't beat Reading, Swansea, Cardiff and Bristol City I'll never know.
I'd give your right one for it to carry on for the rest of the season!I'd give my left bollock for a run of results like that from our next 4 btw
Think Reading could get sucked into the relegation battle.That Reading match has to be one of the worst games of football I’ve ever watched
I’m hoping we ‘do a Forest’
My step dad is a Reading fan, every time they win he is amazed because they're so poor, he thinks they genuinely could get pulled into it.Think Reading could get sucked into the relegation battle.

3-3 v swansea and 2-3 v millwall
hold on to the 3-0 and 2-0 and we are 4th
so these 2 games for me were the most disappointing and probably the most damage and I think Millwall game defined our early season , and the swansea put us on our next bad run
I firmly believe that with O'Hare fit all season we'd be in the top 6 comfortably
We have been winning without him before, and we are again now too.
There's so many if, buts, and maybe's. In reality we are a pretty average championship team with a cluster of good players and an overperforming management team. We win a game and it's promotion, lose one and it's relegation.
If we put together a really good run of form, it isn't impossible, but I still think some are getting a bit too carried away. It'll be a few weeks more of good results before I start taking the prospect of playoffs seriously, personally.
Any squad that depends on the fitness of a 35 year-old CB to stay competitive isn’t a serious promotion challenger.I know I’ve been a culprit of bedwetting this season. But I’ve just realised we have a promotion able squad, if that the season was not disrupted in separate times we could have seen us up in the top 3 or even 2. Fucking Dave Boddy am I right
