Ah I see. You're so much clearer second time round when you take a minute to compose yourself!

Yeah, but apart from that everything is fine .

4 weeks ago we were thinking about league 1, now we are thinking about the play offs. Clough out anyone??

The most pleasing aspect of this run is that we have put considerable distance between ourselves and the bottom 3. We haven't secured enough points to ensure safety just yet but it'd take one almighty collapse! And like it or not, that has been the target for the past three or four years.

But I think any talk of promotion, play-offs or even a top-half finish needs to be sprinkled with caution at this moment. Our form tends to drift from the sublime to the ridiculous. Five defeats in a row followed by four wins in the next five is evidence of that.

Until we're winning games on a consistent basis, it's probably worth taking it one game at a time in a division with such fine margins.

It's not inconceivable that we could go from winning our last three to losing our next three and that would change everyone's outlook completely.

Weeks ago, I proclaimed Clough had 6 games to save his job and 4 wins followed and diminished that pressure. I still have major doubts about Clough but he deserves credit for the recent run of results. Long may it continue.
