Of the points taken 2 were taken in each of the games against the 2 clubs who should still be chasing us down, giving them a bonus point from a day that would otherwise have been one of those days for both of them
We’d have had points on the board pressure of 8 or more points on both of them for a fairly long run of games, which could easily have seen them have more of those days themselves
And also with points on the board, if we slip up & are still 5 or 6 points ahead it is highly unlikely to affect the players the same as our slipping up & dropping to second in goal difference
Football’s a confidence game & something of a war of attrition the 7 points stolen from us by corrupt officials would have made a huge difference, we’d have likely already have the title in the bag
