The goal difference between the bottom set of clubs is very tight.Look back at our first game, had Turnbull not gone up for the corner we would (very very likely) have now had +2 better goal difference than Blackpool. Said at the time it could bite us on the bum later.Now we are running out of games, the GK coming up for a last minute corner to help get an equaliser or a winner is more justified, than at that first game where there were 45 more to put things right!

We've been shafted big time by the officials this season

I think we can also look at some of the very late goals we've conceded. Barnsley at home cost us 2 points, QPR away cost us another. We've learnt nothing since Heffs failed to stick it in the Asda Car Park against Arsenal!

If that comes to fruition then the man is incredible.
