West Brom (0-1) - deserved defeat, 1 shot on target.
Birmingham (0-1) - deserved defeat, we were dreadful.
Leicester (0-2) - deserved defeat, but no shame in losing to Leicester.
Leeds (0-3) - deserved defeat, but no shame in losing to Leeds.
Preston (0-2) - deserved defeat.

I could equally add that we were perhaps fortunate to get our two home draws (against Watford and Plymouth) and were fortunate to have beaten Sheff Wed (last gasp penalty) and Millwall (keeper drops one into his net).
Bulut talks about the top three in your list if I remember correctly.

As I said in my post we weren't good enough to get the win (or draw) - but we were in a position in each of those games where we should have held onto a scoreboard advantage (the Norwich game), used our possession and chances after they scored to take points (West Brom - the opposite of our win at Watford) or turned possession and momentum into points (the QPR game).

Luck sometimes plays a part, but it doesn't always have to a narrative of us being lucky to win but deserving our loses.

I am not happy with the team or with Bulut - but let's talk about ability, intelligence, decisions, selection and other factors - not luck.
