It looks like we will miss out on the play-offs by at least 3 points. I expect Cardiff to beat Hull and we should beat a poor Reading side.
So lets look at some results that have cost us this season that were easily avoided and games we lost we should have drawn, and drawn games we should have won:
Obviously there'll be the opposites of those we were fortunate to win but hey..
Luton 0-1 - 1 Point lost
Facing a poor side, somehow we lose it 1-0. Can't help but think if Cooper had switched to a back 3, even at the start of the restart, we'd have at least drawn this.
Blackburn Rovers 2-2 - 2 points dropped
90th minute equaliser, 2 points dropped.
Fulham 1-0
A game we probably didnt deserve to draw, but another 90th minute goal conceded to cost us a point.
Hull 4-4 - 2 points dropped
A mad game, this. Got it back to 3-3, then 3-4 in 84th minute before Eaves equalises in 90th minute, 2 points dropped again right at the end.
Derby 2-3 - 1 point dropped
80th-minute winner for Derby.
Stoke 1-2 - 1 point dropped
Hogan wins it in 90th minute.
Reading 1-1 - 2 points dropped
Yiadom equalises in 90th minute.
Forest 0-1 - 1 point dropped
85th minute winner.
Excluding the Fulham result which I think was fair anyway, that's 10 points dropped. If you only count the late goals, it's 9 points in the latter part of games where we've thrown games away.
I know it's all pointless now but given the poor standard this year, the quality in this squad, I still think we were good enough to be up there with the likes of Fulham and Forest who I thought were nothing special at all when we played them last week.
