In games against teams in the top third, our record is untouchable, 2.20 pts per game. Huddersfield 1.64, Newcastle 1.62, Reading 1.25. That isn't a lie.
Why, do you honestly believe Huddersfield will win all their remaining games?
We may earn a well fought draw at Barnsley, then beat Reading and Newcastle at home to go top. Who knows. To say its imperative we must win at Barnsley is a bit early with 15 games left. Plenty of football to be played.
