    we are fourth, unbeaten at home, a clean sheet.
    We were very lucky but you make your own luck, teams at the top get the greater share of it than those at the bottom.

    We were not lucky to win that game, don’t get where that comes from at all.

    I agree. Yes we were poor but we won the game because, in my opinion, we were still better than Bristol Rovers. There was no luck involved in our win.

    If we're talking about luck, we were unlucky not to go 2 up when Thiam hit the bar, and then Cavare had one knocked off the line.

    You can't attribute other teams straying offside or poor shooting to luck, otherwise you'd blame everything on luck. Where would you stop?

    People talk about us being woeful, but the passage of play up to our goal was pleasing on the eye, and had Moncurs shot not curled away after a similar slick move just after half time, it would probably opened up the flood gates because we were all over them at that point.
