    In fairness Al, while I agree with the sentiment, I think we might have gone for it a bit more if we had players like Burke, King, et al.

    Not just that...

    They've been playing crap at home for quite a while. It's like they're a different team. It's their away form that's kept them in the running.

    Ultimately...

    If you sit back and don't mark any players and don't attack (ie that game) you've about a 98% of losing, so even the chance of winning having a go is 10% it's a lot more than 2%!

    Same with if we'd sat back all game in matches like Chelsea in the FA Cup - we'd have been hammered. Only won because we took the game to them.

    Someone remind me the last time we sat back, were under the cosh all game, and won...

    Peterborough at home...

    Although that was more to do with having 10 men :)
