Fair point (I don't think I watched that one). I guess what I'm trying to get across is that those two games to me were the key ones in determining whether there was anything left to play for at the end of the season. It was an opportunity to Warnock to put down a marker and say "We can beat the best teams in this division" and we came agonizingly close to it.

The stats don't make good reading for Warnock when interpreted that way. But the argument can be made that this was Grayson's team and it's not fair to judge Warnock before he's had an opportunity to bring his own players in. The other point I'd make is that I think some of the fight went out of the team after the Southampton and West Ham games. Those games were the turning point. We played Southampton off the park yet lost, and then deserved to win against West Ham but conceded a last-minute equaliser. Had we taken the six points from those games that our performances deserved, rather than the one we actually got, then I think we'd have gone on to make a real push for the playoffs. (For one thing, the team's confidence would have grown from beating two of the best sides in the division.) As it was, with the playoffs increasingly unlikely and the players knowing that Warnock was likely to bring his own players in over the summer, the performances tailed off. Cheers!
