To make the opposite point, that "dodgy patch" was the part of the season that contained all our hardest fixtures.

I made the point before the season even started that if we made top 4 that year, it'd look like we'd bottled a title race.

Now granted we did do better than anybody expected, but we were always in a bit of a false position for most of the campaign for that reason.
