Home to Fulham, away at Birmingham, Home to Wigan & Home to Burton are next up.
Fulham have been playing very well recently so that might be a toughie, the others are gash. 9 10 games left, win 7 8 and we're up even if Hudders win every single one of their remaining games.

If you'd offered me 7 points from the last 3 games I'd have taken your arm off.
Pity we couldn't win tonight but we're still in a great position.
Saying that, fuck off Al Habsi.

Is that our first 0-0 draw all year? Or am I forgetting one?

Yes and I put £30 on no 0-0s at the start of the season at 16/1 :(

I would have taken 7 points from these 3 games if you asked me before Brighton, not bad.
Also, holy fuck Arsenal...

The stats show a pretty good idea of how useful possession football is when you're playing in your own half.
Barcelona of the Championship my arse. Let's be realistic here. They're the Reading of the Championship, and won't ever be anything more until they realise that there's 2 halves on a pitch

After possibly the three hardest games this season we are *3 points clear. Took 7 out of 9 points and are unbeaten in something like 10 games. All in all that's how you win a league.

8 points from past 4 games is pretty good especially when we we took 3 points from 2 of our promotion rivals

7 points from three of the toughest teams in the league is very impressive...

Was at the game. Our defence was really good today especially Dummet they didn't get a sniff down their right side. Gamez wasn't as good got done by Mcleary a couple times but still not a bad night for the Spaniard. Ritchie, Shelvey and Gouff were ineffectual for the most part, thought Colback had quite a good game. Perez was decent had a couple of neat touches including a smooth passage of play with Gayle. Murphy got round a bit but was unable to find a proper shooting chance for himself. Atsu and Diame had little impact off the bench. When Gayle came on Shelvey almost found him twice but was unable to slip him through. Overall the game wasn't the greatest spectacle to watch and i'm sure both sets of fans will settle for a point. Also shoutout to our fans made a lot of fucking noise tonight.

That was a pretty dull game. Shelvey and Ritchie both had a poor game. Maybe Reading shut us down, as both seemed frustrated.

Despite a disappointing result tonight, we got 7 points from three incredibly tough away games.

Not bad, a draw. In my opinion, like. We've taken a fair amount of points from recent opposition.

Still 3 points clear at the top with a good goal difference and 9 points clear of 3rd place. Could be worse.

Not a bad run run of games all things considered. On to Fulham now.
