    When was the last time we had just a slice of fortune?
    I can't remember.

    I can remember
    Burton getting away with a penalty at the end of tonight's game
    Wednesday getting a dodgy penalty
    Fulham getting a match turning red card in their favour
    Hull and Cardiff snatching very fortunate late wins against us.

    This is not a chip on the shoulder, I can't remember us doing anything vaguely jammy, for ages.

    I agree. We don't seem to get much at all by way of decisions or luck.

    Having said that, I don't think this team is capable of taking advantage if anything comes our way.

    We have been lucky that other results have been kind to us at times and there’s still a chance we can stay up.

    We could & perhaps should be all ready down!!

    I'd at least back us to slot home a dubious penalty! Well, probably.

    At the bottom you don't ever get luck.... that's why you're at the bottom.
    At the top you get it all.
    Such has been the case since Adam was a lad.

    Agreed and on paper at least it’s still very much in our hands. Win our game in hand against Hull and we move up 3 places based on the current table. As has been asked of me, I believe. Then again I was 125 miles from Oakwell last night so I guess that’s easy for me to say.

    Mamadou brace, penalty and from their keeper blasting ball at his arse full pelt forcing ball to smash in to top bag!

    Nowadays it’d be a fluke for us to actually get a penalty!

    I rather think they were lucky to get a free kick from a dive to go 2 0 up

    Oh, hats off pal, it was a quality strike. It just wasn’t a free kick
