I really don't think relegation was ever a serious threat.  We were always likely to win at a game or two at the very least between now and the end of the season.  I can't see everyone below us going on fantastic runs at the same time even if we helped them along a bit.

I don't think it was likely but i also don't think it was as far away as we think. We were in a real hole and it didn't look like we had a clue how to get out of it we weren't really close to winning games and 6 points doesnt require a fantastic run. Very easy to get dragged into it even if realistically we would've been fine.

Agree, thats how I looked at it, dragged into a scrappy finale without the fear of actually falling into the bottom 3

Winning has given us a bit of a breather & the world, for me anyway, looks a lot brighter, considering we were in a rut & not looking to get out of it 

I think if we can win our game in hand against Brum then things will look a lot rosier. We've been waiting for that one for a few weeks now. This time next week we should have a better view of things.

Not you as well buddy Boro and games in hand never seem to mix in a positive way

Pleased for the lads last. Fortune was on their side and they had the opportunity to play without pressure. I'm sure they enjoyed the latter stages hunting individually for goals. Hope we stick with the formation of 3 at the back and concentrating on sharpening up our counter attacking style until we're in a position to transition to what I think Carrick and the club want to achieve which is high possession based tactic.

Sometimes a win is all you need though, however you get it. Confidence has a massive part to play.

We got our first win of the season against Southampton after only getting 1 point in the 7 games before that.

We didn't play well in the first half against Southampton and should have been 2 or 3 down before we equalised.

That unconvincing win was a catalyst for a winning streak.

Yes, I know we recently beat Leicester and it made no difference, but I haven't got all the answers. It's football for god's sake. Anything can happen. 

 

Oh yeah, I know that mate.  We could win the rest of our games 5-0, and end up promoted this season.  I suppose I'm looking at likelihoods though, and what we saw in the first 30 mins didn't seem to show that we'd finally cracked things.  To put it another way, how happy do you think the coaches will have been with it?  I don't reckon they'll be doing all that much celebrating because I don't believe what we were attempting to do was working at all.

But will 80 points be enough for the play offs? Here's hoping 🤞

You're opening up a Pandora's box with these comments.

Why don't you just enjoy the win, and I'll chat about the things I want to chat about? 🤷‍♂️
