Maybe, maybe not. I tend to think the home team losing can send them into a spiral, whereas a draw can be something for both teams to build upon.
Don't lose to your relegation rivals was a mantra that has served us well in the past three seasons, those draws have been important to us.
Take Jota, Jimenez and Doherty out of the Wolves squad and they don't seem all that. They shouldn't go down but it must be very disappointing for them.
My man of the match today, really took the game to Leeds and broke up a lot coming the other way. I think he really is going to be a midfielder, not a defender filling in there.
I think it's also only our second 1-0 win under Potter, after Norwich A last season.
The first time I've really seen him shut up shop and defend a lead, rather than try and re take control of the game with subs (a la WBA at home). Certainly the right move.
It's can't be said enough how much coming and claiming a corner or free kick changes the flow of a game. Pressure can build and build and its taken away in an instant.
If we're still doing what we're doing now for another 15 games or so, then I would believe there is another manager with the same philosophy and style who could get results out of this squad. I still believe Potter can, but I don't want to get relegated, it would be really unnecessary.
Ah, sure. Sheffield can't stay up barring a complete miracle. They can catch us, but if they do we're as good as down ourselves. So can't be concerned about them. Big Sam does have previous at saving teams, but the Sunderland and Blackburn teams he kept up were more established than this WBA side.
But Fulham were dreadful against us. We were disappointed in not beating us but they should be far more disappointed at not beating a relegation rival at home, and barely looking like doing so.
Having said that it is rare for the bottom 3 at this stage to stay the bottom 3 and they could...
Well I love that most people are disagreeing with me! I also love the FA Cup and a good cup run is really exciting. I guess I was just ruminating that teams like us are likely to lose to lower league teams quite frequently, and if we avoid that fate the big clubs will see us off, and the added...
Even before last night's game I got thinking that the FA Cup for teams like us is just going to be season after season of getting knocked out by lower division teams, or by big 6 teams, with the odd decent run maybe 1 year in 10 or so. Every now and again one team might pull lightning out of the...
