Looking at the remaining fixtures I've only just become aware that all of us in the top four have to play Brighton in the run-in. They host us next, and also have Bournemouth and Watford at home next month and then have a trip to the Riverside to play Boro on the final day of the season. Crucial, crucial games those, as they all are a this stage of the season. If somehow they can manage to win the latter three of those fixtures after losing to us then that will sort us out no end, and the boy Hootun might just get his name in the Hall of Fame after all. Maybe.
It's fine margins at this end of the season Welly. And don't tell me there are no teams out there who could do your boys a perceived 'favour' - just so happens that Brighton can aid us immeasurably. Please ?
The last 2 games they scored and hung on for dear life . If we score early on against Brighton we know Hughton will take off his forwards for defenders to limit the damage .
Hughton's the only manager in the football league who will defend a 1-0 scoreline regardless of who has scored.
