Updated Post Oxford “We Can Still Finish 6th”

No, Norwich have a better chance than us. They have an easier run in and are in great form.

I'd say we also have an easier run in than most and are in great form if you take into account what went on at Charlton and its knock-on effect at Southampton. Boro loss was fair enough. Arguably we did enough to win v Millwall.

As Norwich have won 5 of the last 6, and we have won 2 of the last 6, I am not sure how you can argue that we are in great form, particularly when compared to them.

We'd probably have won v Charlton and Southampton if it wasn't for the double sending off. And I don't think Norwich have played Boro in their past six.

I also don't disagree on the impact of the Tanganga red card at Charlton. We'd have won there with 10 but he didn't handle his frustrations and, frankly, he cost us 4-6 points as a result.
