Because of the tough draw we had at the start.
In our first 12 games we played 7 of the top 9 sides that cureently occupy those positions.
Four of those were away which we gained 1 point - v Bolton.
In our first 18 overall that increased to 9 as we played Bradford twice, for four points.
Now I'm not trying to sugar coat what happened, I too thought Brown was done and dusted.
But it makes you think just how tough we got it early.
Now, in the final 23 rounds, we face just Peterborough, Fleetwood and Bristol Rovers away from home.
The top five minus Bradford have to come here.
If this team is good enough, it has the right draw to do well.
The hard work begins now though as we falted about a month from now this time this year.
