Yes but it's a useful barometer to measure how likely it is we'll be there when it matters - we simply haven't been under Mowbray. Fingers crossed this time will be different, it certainly feels like the most likely it's been under him, but I also wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we lost the next four games either.

I'd prefer it if you had the maturity to not react like a child when someone makes a very valid point that talk of Mowbray 'building three different teams etc' is hyperbolic. I'll repeat so perhaps you'll understand this time - we've spent 4 games in the play off spots in his 4 yr spell and STILL aren't there yet this season, having also not beaten a team above us in the league. If you can't understand that that point, combined with the previous 10 yrs of Venkys owwernship, is going to have an effect on people's view of the current situation then there is no reasoning with you. I'll be the first to hold my hands up and say that perhaps he is the man to take us up when we've been in the top 6 for a few weeks, but I will certainly wait a bit longer than when we're 2 points outside of the play offs in late November.

Personally I would have saved this type of hyperbole for when we were actually in the play off spots, especially given the amount of time we've actually spent there during Mowbray's tenure. You should really keep in mind how many times we've been close and then dropped away when it's come to the crunch, since he's been here. I desperately hope its different this time, and it genuinely feels like it could be with this squad he's built up, but I'll save the 'Mowbray deserves great credit/has built three different teams' stuff until we've spent some actual time in the play offs, not 2 points off in late November having still not beaten a team above us in the league.

Cracking result and performance, very happy to be proven wrong. Barnsley up next, fully expect to beat them given they're below us in the league. Millwall at home will be a test as they'll sit in and be physical. Should be getting 4 points minimum. So many false dawns under Tony but if we the go to Brentford and get a result after 4 points from Barnsley & Millwall then perhaps we could dare to dream.
