This.

I don't think we go out to draw (every) game 0-0. Yes, we rely on our defence and hope to nick games occasionally, but we have also shown that we can play some good stuff.

I definitely think a certain proportion of our fanbase has, and will always, get ahead of themselves and excited at the prospect of promotion or any other traditional form of measuring success (such as a cup run). When in reality, most of us know that survival at this level is our first and main priority. We may have the resources to consolidate and finish mid table in any given season, with the potential to push occasionally when finances allow, but ultimately we are punching above our weight and the fact we had got ourselves into such a strong league position early on simply means we don't have to look over our shoulder at a relegation scrap.

It is highly possible that we lose more games than we win from now until the end of the season, and that's okay because we can afford to. I agree that I would like to see some more entertaining football from this team and encouraging individual performances, but let's not overreact to a tough defeat at home to Cardiff.
