5 games with 0-0s ...If we'd scored in any of them ANY OF THEM. if Bruno, Calde, Stephens, Dunk in those matches had scored a single goal we'd have gone up. Alternatively 7 scoring draws where if we hadn't conceded or conceded one less in *any* of them, we would have gone up. ANY OF THEM THUS -...

we didn't go up because it was er, 2 goals. 2 bloody goals. A million and one tiny things would have made the difference. An extra 2 goals against the "crapper teams" (QPR, Fulham, Bristol, Leeds - all mid table as it turns out) or er, Goldson not sticking his leg out v Ipswich, or Greer not...

with THEM.

In their last full seasons in the championship Murray and Hemed scored a combined total of 47 goals. POXY.

we were 2 goals away from going up last season. So it literally could have been anything. Such fine margins. Just impossible and fruitless to say its *definitely* this or that. Hemed missed a penalty, Goldson scored an own goal, Ince did his stray back pass. Greer gave away a penalty. Stephens...
