If Grealish's excellent volley was a few millimetres away from Etheridge it would have hit the post and rebounded to safety.
It could also be said that if the Derby match had gone ahead, we could have been on the brink of automatic promotion.
Yes, we can talk about performances, but they don't matter at this stage of the season. Results matter. Ultimately, when it's mattered the most, we've been millimetres away from 4 points in the last two games. Instead we've had none. Lady luck has generally smiled at us this season I think. It's deserted us totally since we had a huge slice of it at Bramall Lane.
I still think there are lots of twists and turns to come this season. It's still in our hands even if it doesn't feel like it.
