| Crucial points from very late goals 16:13 - May 4 with 1262 views | sohamblue74 | Noticed the sky sports stats in the second half of the Saints vs Towen match. Not too surprised that we are top of the ratings for scoring very late goals after 75+ minutes. Got me thinking. We only lost 8 league matches all season. Only 3 since new year. These 4 very late equalisers were absolutely crucial in getting us up to 84 points. Hirst vs Brum away 1 1 Clarke vs Derby home 2 2 Egeli vs Blackburn away 1 1 Clarke vs Preston home 1 1 Not sure how many points went the other way due to very late goals against. Stoke away injury time equaliser springs to mind. Anyway, those 4 points were crucial even if we were (at the time) frustrated not to win vs Derby, Preston or to play better vs Brum, Blackburn. |  | | |  |

Sounds daft but the super power this year was not losing many games as much as anything. As Hull got in, I think our only loss in the top 6 was Boro away. |  |

Haven't done the maths but I suspect we 'won' the top 6 mini league. |  |

It was, and to emphasise just how crazy the season was, we managed to lose 3 against the bottom 6 and drew 3 more. If you exclude Sheff W and put Portsmouth in their place, lost 4! Not your average Championship for more than one reason and I'm very glad to be out of it, for a long time I hope! |  | |  |

Eh? No. We still would've gone up even if we'd lost at Saints. Those people were right, it was of no use to either team (other than it perhaps gave us confidence/momentum). |  |

It didn’t make any difference to where we finished. It gave us confidence going into Saturday though. |  |
