If the last couple of months have been bad luck stories, I presume we're watching different teams.
Let's look at the stats since we beat Bristol City.
Stoke 0-0. Crap game. Neither side played well or created much.
Norwich 2-3. Poor performance, we took our chances, Norwich should have scored more. Deserved defeat.
Preston 2-1. Poor performance, deservedly behind when Preston went down to 10 men and capitulated in injury time. Took advantage of the situation.
West Brom 0-1. Poor performance. Deserved defeat.
Southampton 0-2. Even worse performance. Saints could have had 6.
Millwall 1-0. Dreadful game, crap performance. Millwall better side until we scored through their keeper's mistake, then they missed a great chance to equalise. Undeserved win, got lucky by staying in the game.
Birmingham 0-1. Another crap performance, deserved defeat.
Hull 0-3. Woeful performance, made them look like Barcelona. Could have been several more.
Wednesday 2-1. Crap performance, 1 shot on target, 2 goals scored. Got lucky by staying in the game.
That's 9 games on the trot where I make it that we deserved every defeat and were more than a bit fortunate to win the games we have, apart from perhaps Preston, though we'd have been gutted to have lost that game had we been in their position.
It's great to win a game. How we're 3 points off the playoffs is a mystery as I don't feel we deserve that and shows how close the division is. I hope today will give the players a bit of confidence as they've not looked as if they've had any for some time.
Most of us are feeling a bit better tonight, even if the victory was undeserved. Hopefully it will give confidence for Plymouth.
I think a few of us have been suggesting Grant would be better up top. Hopefully it’s not the last time we see him there.
Extended highlights: (The full 90 is available but I don't think anyone wants to see that)
