Indeed it is. What a difference just one game can make. You can't ignore a 5-0 drubbing like that. Having said that, every team has an off day here and there (arguably, we had one ourselves, as did Newcastle). But yes, it makes my insistence that Reading are the biggest threat look a bit...
Selective quoting is a great way to win a discussion that wasn't even about winning... :P

Not guaranteed if Reading have a 100% win record and Newcastle also match their current results. Even if we convert those 2 losses into draws instead, that's still 4 points dropped and Reading are only 4 points back. Just one more draw (another two dropped), and a 100% winning Reading pips us...
I suspect it's also prone to poor calculations when it comes to outliers. How well does it handle, for example, an otherwise poor offensive team playing against Norwich while they're so out of sorts defensively that anything that's on target seems to go into the net? Or how well does it handle...

5 games until half season, and the table looks rather pretty for us currently. Realistically, from here I think we should be very disappointed if we don't secure an auto. Long way to go, I know, but we've put together and even stronger season-to-date this year than last IMO. Unbeaten in the last...
