The reply was about teams dropping points unexpectedly. They're not, whatever else could happen.
But the season still has a long way to go and time for clubs to move up and down the table
And have Barnsley not jumped up the table with their winning run?
It was the Bradford 0-0 away straight after the gills game.

Yup, despite the odd bad result here and there, Gillingham, Burton and Walsall have all remained pretty consistent.
I keep looking and expecting Walsall to fail, but they don't. Thought they would have a really tough match last night at Doncaster, but they won again. They just keep doing enough and are so much more consistent than us.

Astute;1035695[b said:]There is normally one club at least that falls away from the top of the table [/b]and one that climbs the table that wasn't considered for promotion. There is still a long way to go. All teams near the top have been dropping points unexpectedly. Whoever goes on a run will get promoted. If our defenders stop getting injured it could well be us.
And Leicester bloody won again - I feel sick
Yep, Burton have had a little wobble, but Walsall keep getting back into the top two and it's rather ominous that Wigan are closing in as well.Odd bad result is dropping unexpected points though.
23rd Jan Burton 1 Shrewsbury 2
30th Jan Rochdale 2 Burton 1
So that is within the last couple of weeks.

Fair play to them, I hope they win the league.
Still won 4 of their last 6 including beating us. And they weren't back to back defeats they beat Peterborough inbetween those games.
Call yourself a cov fan. Showing your true colours there
Isn't he just rooting for the underdog? It's not because it is Leicester. I'm sure he'd be saying the same thing if it was Southampton or Crystal Palace or Watford.
Me too. Leicester mean nothing to me as a rival. Vile are the only club in the world I hate

A rivalry which hasn't occurred in 15 years? Leciester been our main rivals since 2000 and makes me sick seeing how well there doing. Everyone with a love of cov will feel the same. Leciester always have and always will be our rivals

Personally think the Maddison transfer speculation was having a deeper effect than we could see, ironic our bad form came during the window! Now we have fleck back and defenders In and the Maddison situation is resolved I think you may see a change, yes we need another forward, but we also need both Cole and fleck in the starting 11 something that hasn't happened since Walsall! The season isn't over so let's see what we can do from now on! Preston and mk both had bad runs this time last season so let's make sure we get back in it like they did!
Fair play to them, I hope they win the league.
We beat Port vale and Crewe in this awful 11 game run, but they were isolated wins. For me one win won't be enough change fans views, it will need a little run 2-3 wins in quick succession to move from doom and gloom.

Yes it is 4 wins out of the last 6. But it is also 2 defeats in the last 3 games. And one of them defeats was at home to a club just 1 point out of the bottom 4 and they have a GD of -15.
Do we look at our most recent form but stretch the games of the clubs near us to make their form look better?
It's agea since we played Leicester too, by this logic you should have moved on to hating Walsall.
I grew up at a time when Villa were the rivals - even if they never noticed. All the kids in my school who regularly went to football supported either City or Vile, if they didn't attend games they tended to support Liverpool or Manchester United or Leeds.
Don't think I met a Leicester fan until I was in my 20s, and they were more bothered about Forest and Derby than us.
I hope they win the league as it would send a fantastic signal to the rest of the football world but I'm not particularly bothered about any league or competition outside of league one tbh. On the other hand I still really hope that Villa are relegated.

oh please do. We've been looking for someone to hate us forever. We try and hate everyone on the basis that one day it will be reciprocated but whilst we occasionally irritate people it is only ever a passing hate that soon moves on or back to more 'traditional' rivals.
Anyway, back to the thread. I think we'll be OK. With our cup run, weather postponements and pitches/conditions not suiting us, January looked incredibly tough but we managed to keep accumulating points. We dropped a few points along the way but managed to eek out results. Our game at your place was typical. You'd had a weekend off whilst we'd had an incredibly tough cup game at Brentford, it was a rough night weather wise on a tricky surface. We started slow but from somewhere found the spirit and energy to finish the stronger. Same last night. Not a lot to do with the style that won us the points at the start of the season. Just guts and spirit with a bit of skill thrown in.
i still expect Burton to falter and Wigan to come through. But been saying that for three months and neither has happened.
