If only the ref hadn't given Reading a dodgy (soft in Stam's words) penalty in the first place.

No. We were as good as Burnley for most of last year (eg, we were level on points with 2 games to go), and we'd have been 3 points ahead if it wasn't for poor refereeing in our game(s) against them. We're clearly better than last year, having added Murray up front and Duffy in defence.

No, a win would have done it if the GD was enough. But Burnley were last season's example of overtaking a points deficit.

Burnley did, and they overtook, so the point is that gaps can and have been closed.
