It's what everyone repeats, but this line about winning titles by playing badly and winnin

g isn't the full story.

Sure it's great to pick up points when you're below par. And some seasons you're luckier than others.

But you can't rely on it for week after week. At some point we do need to re-find our form, or we'll start dropping lots of points.

ie - it may be good to win when not playing well. But iuts much better- and a much better sign that you're potential champions - to win *and* play well.

(Mind you, it is pretty striking how everyone else is struggling, too, after a period when us, Leeds, Charlton and ColU seemed to win every week. Maybe we won't actually need to win that many more games...)
