Blackburn were relegated on goal difference. They had 51 points and a goal difference of -12. QPR ended up on 53 points and a goal difference of -14 ... ... What If ... we had scored with even only one of those penalties against them at the Cottage?
I thought exactly that too, and with Holloway predicting us for relegation at the beginning of the season that would have been sweet. They'll have to do something in pre-season as they were really rubbish this year.
Yup, and that's what makes this season's 80 points and a GD of +28 so unbelievably good. The goals in the respective columns say it all: Season 2015/16 goals for 66 against 79 Season 2016/17 goals for 85 against 57 Well not quite. Remember the cries of "we're doomed" at the beginning of this season when goal scorers McCormack and Dembele were sold?
