No not really.....

Could be a fair bit better for a team that's clear top. However my point is only valid in the unlikely event we only pick up 2 or 3 more points and caught by the pack. Defacto our goal difference must take a hit should that happen and equally other teams would improve.

        I understood and agreed, Jim (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 6, 13:29:28
        
        Glad you now agree it's not incredible then. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 12:08:53
        
        I’m certainly surprised (pleasantly) that after dropping 4 out of 6 points were better off (NCFC) - Drurys Left Nut, Apr 6, 12:36:16
        
        Swansea losing four straight games is pretty incredible. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 13:07:42
        
        also incredible; sheffield mittwoch winning five frikkin' zip (NCFC) - Tombs, Apr 6, 12:41:08
    - I agree tbh. Though I guess it's not incredible given we see similar time and again (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 6, 11:28:19
      - Only just seen - Goreham has written about the exact same game and feeling this morning (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 6, 13:29:42
      - Excatly. It's not 'incredible' at all. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 11:57:38
      - Think it was Brentford - Canos scored I think? (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 11:30:19
        
        The weird thing about that run of draws is the Reading game. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 12:05:55
      - Yes, that's right, Brentford beat Leeds 2-0 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 11:30:09
        
        Yes! Coming back to me now (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 6, 11:30:54
        
        Coming back like those twats behind us at Stoke giving Anal grief every time ... (NCFC) - APB, Apr 6, 12:50:39
        
        Should probably see a Doctor about that, pal. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 6, 13:02:47
        
        Too late. The damage is done. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Apr 6, 13:35:46
  - You'd have expected one of Swansea or Brentford to win a game though (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 10:37:23
    - You would expect it (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 10:40:00
      - I haven’t looked but I wonder what the odds would have been on neither winning? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:49:59
- I've gone with a solidly sensible 2-0 win. Three points, bagged. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Apr 6, 10:22:11
- Would be nice but they are a bielsa style high tempo team... (NCFC) - loz, Apr 6, 10:08:43
  - And yet the biggest danger will probably be from long throws (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 10:54:01
  - I think the away performance is of zero relevance (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:45:39
- Greedy for goals (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Apr 6, 10:06:11
- I agree - I hope we go for the jugular (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:03:38
- Yeah me too. I think we will get that sort of performance to be honest. (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Apr 6, 09:55:54
- Pukki needs to start converting more than score one and miss 6. He offers a lot around the (NCFC) - Biggles, Apr 6, 09:52:52
  - His ratio is excellent. Your premise is flawed. (n/m) (NCFC) - Boyer, Apr 6, 12:32:30
  - so what percentage of missed chances is acceptable to you? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 6, 10:27:38
  - 22 goals from 81 shots is pretty good (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 10:05:53
  - I think that's overly harsh in the context of his whole time at Norwich (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:02:37
    - The criticism of Pukki is ridiculously harsh (NCFC) - BungysPie, Apr 6, 10:28:39
      - He's still going at roughly 2 goals in 3 games at Champs level isn't he? Ridiculously good (n/m) (NCFC) - NxNW, Apr 6, 10:35:56
        
        Yep, there isn’t another striker in the league with his movement (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:46:38
- Tbf, we didn't sit on 1-0 at Preston (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 09:45:39
  - I hope we play the way we have played all season (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 10:35:36
