First Team
I've been mulling over the last two games, and if things were 'fair' (which of course they aren't) in my view we'd have taken 2 points, Brentford 1, and Stoke 1 having drawn both games.
In reality, we are 1 point up on this, Brentford 2 points up, and Stoke 1 point down.
If you'd have been offered the reality over the 'fair' would you have taken it? We are 1 point up on all teams bar Brentford (and Stoke) which might ultimately put us in the automatic promotion position, but the 2 points extra for Brentford might see them finish above us and we end up third.
I didn't arrive at a clear preference, so thought it would be interesting to get the consensus view. Obviously I wanted 6 points from the two games, but they were two tough away games.
Sorry for the hypothetical question.
Whilst I'm here, in answer to another thread, coldest game - Grimsby away 2008, late November, in the snow, close to the North Sea, on a Friday night in a gale. I think it was on Sky (and there was less than a hundred in the away end).
