Wow! fantastic another win, we are gaining momentum it seems.... Why now? Is it the absence of Hanley? Jordan Rhodes finding form? Or are the Rovers' players been secret readers of my blog trying to show me up for discounting the promotion push and Rhodes' importance to the team?
Well, I'm not getting carried away, afterall we are still eight points away from touching distance with a vastly superior goal difference. Also, I don't see why after an under-performing season we should suddenly become a championship juggernaut. We keep losing playing to injury as well (Conway on Saturday) so the list keeps getting longer - that is sure to have an impact sooner or later.
Still, there is something about a football fan, the whiff of ever unjustifiable optimism surrounds us after a few good results, and suddenly we start to scrutinize that table again, to view the upcoming fixtures with opportunity in mind instead of fatalism.
Ok, we have four home games left - we have to win all those to stand even a ghost of a chance starting with Brentford on Tuesday night. We definitely HAVE to win that or it is auf wiedersen and good night Premiership dream. We should beat Brighton but then we have Forrest who are one place above us and will surely be out for revenge after we beat them earlier in the season. Lastly, we have Millwall who may be dead and buried by then. Beating Brentford and Forrest is a must but also a tall order.
Away from home, we have Reading, Birmingham and Huddersfield who, on the face of it, have little to play for and should all be winnable games. However, our away form all season has been pretty dreadful. I know that we have just won back to back away games but Charlton nearly equalized before we scored again.
So we need a motto of WIN WIN WIN! even to get into the play offs let alone come through a tough set a fixtures there. So I'm not convinced - still- that we can go up but at least there are grounds (taking the game against Liverpool as well) for an interesting end to the season.
