Not exactly sudden. They have taken fewer points from last 10 games than any of the other top six. Everyone assumes they are a shoo in for top two, I'm not so sure.
The mantra is never accept a draw, and i wouldn't take one now; the opportunity is there to get daylight between us and Toon as well as 8 points clear of Reading. Very happy with agent KLL's impact, it keeps Toon honest and gives us a cushion if Reading and Leeds keep the heat on.
