It would feel pretty dispiriting to be on the wrong side of the upper table/lower table divide that has now formed...

If/but
I'm trying not to look at the table and stick 6 points on our total.

Not only from a table perspective but also a feel good perspective for fans and players.
Now it’s not a ‘not won for 8 games’ mindset but an ‘unbeaten in 7 games’ mindset.

Its amazing how quickly the headline of your form can change. For a while Sky sports etc were saying 'Brighton havent won in 7...8...' (or however many games it was) which sounds terrible, but because of all those draws now they'll most likely change that to 'Brighton are unbeaten in 6'.
Is it PotG?

A win is a win, is a win.
Not worth dwelling on it…..most other teams have done/will do something similar

And Southampton really. Look how awful they have been this year.
It really feels like the FAC win kick started our season. Have seen this in the past with other clubs, nice that this time it’s us.
I realise we’ve played well eg Arsenal, but to get back in winning ways.

And those 3 points we threw away in the second half of the six pointer at Anfield
Totally agree with the OP but for me the turning point was the equaliser against Villa. 2-1 down at a tough venue off the back of a bad run and with loads of injuries that felt like a win, followed up by that come back draw against Arsenal and that set the platform for the wins.

Yeah, but what's Fab's excuse?
If we had won all of our games we would be well positioned to finish high up the table. Fact.

Forest 3rd, Bournemouth 7th, Man U 13th and Spurs 15th after halfway. No one would have predicted that.
It's all evenly matched and very difficult to predict. Forest could end up in the Champions league or if the wrong players get injured do well for a European place.
It's cliché but we have to take it game by game and stay in the mix somehow. Barring one or two teams, anyone can beat anyone. Loads of twists and turns to come especially with the extended European campaign for those teams involved.

Cannot be understated IMO. Wins breed confidence and with a young squad and manager that is invaluable.

But I guess can take away the points we SNATCHED against Spurs when 2-0 down and against United when we scored in the last minute. So we're actually a point worse off in the final reckoning....
Important for us... massive for Hurzeler. 10 games without a win in the PL puts your job in the risk zone (you'll never get to go 20 winless in a row) whoever you are wherever you are, nice to get that pressure off - had we not won at least one of Ipswich or United things would be very very toxic now.
