I will have to disagree with you and Exile about Fulham x2 and Birmingham, all of which I was at. Birmingham we only had a few chances and, I think, two shots on target. At home, Fulham did batter us in the first half, we were better in the second, but not overwhelmingly so. Away at Fulham, we...
But we're winning games we deserve to lose: see Fulham twice, Birmingham. If that continues, we'll make it. And even if we don't, we still have the capability to step up and improve. In past seasons, the squad has been primed to attain peak fitness in the second half of the season. I'm hoping...
