As much as Leeds and Wolves away are good points, the thing is, it would be better to have beaten Barnsley 1-0 and lose 5-0 at Leeds and 5-0 at Wolves. It#s wins that really count. Hopefully we'll build on the draws and get a couple of wins from the next few games. Of the 6 games in November, considering 4 are at home and the away games are winnable ones, we should be aiming for 3 victories at least.
It's such an unforgiving league and with everyone beating each other, we have to keep our wins tally as high as possible.
I thought we were good in the seocnd half at Wolves. If Hulse was the player he was a few years ago we'd have won. Of the 4 decent chances he had in the 2nd half, I wouldn't mind betting that Fuller, in the same positions, would have scored 3 of them, Yann 2 and BWP 1.
We seem to play better without Green and Stephens

Draws are infinitely better than defeats.
So far we've got five points from draws.
If we didn't have those five points, we'd be second from bottom.
Draws help a lot in The Championship.
But I'm sure SCP is delighted with the squad and how it's developing considering the injuries and draws are part of building... not losing has to be the first step to winning
Yes you gain an extra point from that, but do you really think we would be set up well to get anything out of the next game if we had lost the last two 5-0? Really?
Getting points are always important but the relentless emphasis on results will come later in the season. For now, getting some reasonable consistency and comfort in the Championship is fine as long as we aren't getting beat every week, which we're not.
But it's still a vallid point 3 points are better than 2 FACT .
In theory yes a win and 2 loses would have been better points wise but you can't choose results. Once we lost to Barnsley that's it, move on to the next games. More frustrating that we should have got 4 points and may have had 6 from them but there can't be many realistic fans who wouldn't have taken 2 draws if offered.
Well thanks for clearing that up statto
Witness their preference for two points from the three games as opposed to three that a win over Barnsley and two 5-0 defeats at Wolves and Leeds would have brought.
Yes, the draws there will have brought confidence but I didn't see a column for that last time I looked at the Championship table
If we have to be negative to avoid defeat in the next two home games then so be it.
I think its more the point that losing 2 away games 0-5 in a row, would have ruined any confidence we had and maybe seen Powell out of the door (if some posts are to be believed).. so actually I think they do understand.
The margins are very, very tight and at some point that got to work in our favour.
Or we can lose every home game and draw every away game, and finish on 23 points and get relegated !
This is only the fact im trying to get at !
I said to my lad as we came away from Molyneux on Saturday that it would have been better us losing against leeds and winning at wolves (or vice versa) because of the fact that 3 points are better than 2 and although it may be good not to lose, its even better to win !!
