We're just taking it steady, that's all

Just far enough ahead not to be too worried, maintaining a cushion that should just about see us home.

If we had six less points I reckon Hoots would have gone balls out against QPR and Fulham.

But to borrow some cricketing parlance, the required run rate is quite low and we're just knocking them off in singles. No need to throw wickets away.
